Breaking Your Sugar Addiction A 4-Week Plan To Stop Sugar Cravings Page 2

Week 3 – Cutting down on hidden sugars

Now that I’ve already cut out obvious sugar culprits, the next step is to cut out the hidden sugars. Sugar and bad carbohydrates are hiding in so many foods such a cereals, pastas, breads, and even many foods that we believe to be healthy, such as juices, dried fruit, granola bars, and fruit yogurt. This week the plan was to cut down and try avoid all these items as well.

How I felt about week 3:

This week had been a busy one for me, and I didn’t have a chance to plan out my 3 meals properly. This created a big downfall for me. I felt hungry and grumpy, and I was craving candy and junk food, and though I didn’t have too much of it, I certainly felt a little unhappy to be trying to be eating well.

Week 4 – Eating less sugar in the long term

This week I planned to continue to eat with minimal sugar in my diet, but also try to find the right balance to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Whether that be pasta once a week, or candies only for a special movie night, I think finding the right balance is important so you can enjoy your life and be healthy as well.

How I felt about week 4:

I found Week 4 was a lot better than the previous week. I was back on top of my 3 meals a day, and I had gone to the market to stock up on fresh fruit. So this week, it was pretty easy for me to stick to the program and eat well. I came to realize that a big part of eating well, is being able to plan what you’ll be eating. I felt when I didn’t plan my meals, I was tempted just to got for convenient foods that tended to be sugary or unhealthy.

Overall review of my 4 weeks taking sugar out of my diet:

I actually feel really great about eating less sugar in my regular diet. It makes me feel better about my health and in the process I learned a lot about eating well, and the nutrients in food. I would suggest everyone give it try. It never hurts to eat healthier or take better care of your body.

Breaking Your Sugar Addiction A 4-Week Plan To Stop Sugar Cravings Page 1

How to stop sugar cravings in 4 steps

Week 1 – Cutting down on the portion of sugar I eat

For the first week, I planned to still allow myself to eat whatever goodies I wanted, but I would restrict myself to a single serving portion amount. So instead of eating 10 cookies, I would eat just 1 or 2. Also, I made sure I had 3-4 good meals a day. Making sure I had my solid meals would keep me full throughout the day and prevented me from wanting to snack on sugary treats.

How I felt about week 1:

This week was certainly good practice for my self control. A few times, I did eat an extra cookie, but I didn’t let myself over indulge either. Learning self control was much more difficult than I thought, but it was a good lesson to learn and put into practice.

Week 2 – Stop eating sweet treats

During the second week, I planned to start cutting out obvious sugar culprits such as cookies, pop, candy etc. from my diet. If I was having a bad sugar craving, the plan was to eat fruit instead, so at least I would get the sensation of something sweet and still benefit from eating something that would actually be healthy for me. Like the first week, keeping a regular schedule 3-4 solid meals a day is important.

How I felt about week 2:

I felt pretty good this week. I really didn’t have any cravings for junk food at all to be honest. It felt really good to be eating solid meals and snacking on fruits. Continue Reading  >> Page 2

Can’t Fall Back Asleep? “Sleepy Dust”—An Unconventional Nutritional Remedy for Insomnia

Not being able to get enough sleep is your worst nightmare as restful sleep is essential to cognitive function, cell renewal, hormonal balance, energy production, detoxification, a healthy immune system and so much more!

The inability to fall or stay asleep is deeply rooted in poor blood sugar regulation, which in turn can make your stress hormone levels too high at night; keeping you WIDE AWAKE. So what can you do about it? In addition to working on your nutrition and balancing your blood sugar better throughout the day, sometimes you need a little “helper” that can help you fall back asleep– FAST (while you continue to work on your health of course). This crazy-simple sleep remedy from my friend Emily over at the Butter Believer blog does just that! So go ahead and read through her very thoughtful post, and try out her genius recipe! You’ll be glad you did 

“Have you ever woken up suddenly—only to see a glowing alarm clock reading 3:00 in the morning—and couldn’t fall back to sleep?

(And then that that annoying Matchbox 20 song pops into your head, too? Ugh.)

If so, you’re not alone. 42% of Americans reported waking up in the middle of the night, with 29% finding it difficult to fall back asleep, according to a research study done by the National Sleep Foundation. That’s the reason why there’s even special prescription drugs out there now that aren’t just sleep aids, but getting-back-to-sleep-aids. So many people struggle with this and don’t know how to fall back asleep.

Of course, I’m not exactly a big advocate for pharmaceutical drugs. Especially when there are natural remedies that work better, and without a paragraph of scary side effects attached to the label. This remedy is a lifesaver for those suffering from insomnia—which is not just the inability to fall asleep, but the inability to stay asleep, too.

The Perfect Drink For Women – Ideal For Weight Loss, Shiny Skin And Less Cellulite

Honey and Cinnamon Lip Balm

This homemade Honey & Cinnamon Lip Balm makes an easy gift. With only a few, non-toxic ingredients, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to whip up.

Essential oils come in very handy for do-it-yourselfers.They’re perfect for fighting environmental threats, keeping away the bugs, clearing the sinuses and soothing sunburns and much more. I’ve been using them since I was a child, but this was the first time I’ve used them in lip balm.

Credit: intoxicatedonlife.com

At the risk of sounding like a completely scatterbrained mama, I’m going to go out on a limb and tell you the background to this lip balm. I had planned on making my own pumpkin and cinnamon flavored version for a few months, and when I finally got the time and the pumpkin to make it, I set about the process with much anticipation.

You see, a few months back a friend of mine was moving across the country and clearing out her freezer. She gifted me with a gallon-sized ziplock labeled “beeswax,” which I happily accepted (what real-food, diy-er wouldn’t?). I vaguely remember her giving me some sort of instructions about the bag, but at the time I was 9 months pregnant with #5, and my brain + pregnancy = no short term memory.

As I set about making my pumpkin and cinnamon lip balm I got out the beeswax and began to gently grate some into a bowl. As I grated, I noticed with mild confusion that the color of the beeswax was strangely pink, and the texture quite stringy.

Ignoring these discoveries, I added the beeswax to my makeshift double broiler along with the remaining ingredients and waited for it to melt, stirring gently every now and again.

But it refused to melt.

After over 1/2 hour of stirring, the beeswax still had not melted, so I took my hand blender to it. While it got smoother, it still wouldn’t melt. I added the pumpkin, hoping that would help. It didn’t. I tried pouring it into the tubes, but it wouldn’t pour. Instead the pumpkin and pureed beeswax mixture sort-of sloshed out and made a big mess. So I cleaned it up and set it aside to sleep on it.

The next morning I tried again, with the same failed results. Getting rather frustrated, I tried again sans beeswax. Still just a sloppy, un-pourable mess. I set out to try for a fourth time,adding back in the beeswax.  

While I was grating, I thought again about the strange color and texture of the beeswax. It almost looks like frozen peaches, I thought to myself.

So I took a tiny taste. (Yes, I did.) And guess what it tasted like? Yep… peaches. All this time and I had been trying to make lip balm with frozen peaches instead of beeswax!

Through my endeavor to make pumpkin lip balm I learned two things:

1) peaches don’t melt (and they don’t make a good beeswax replacement).

2) pumpkin doesn’t emulsify in hot oil.

Ergo, no pumpkin lip balm. 

Thankfully, though, after leaving out the pumpkin (and adding in some actual beeswax), the remaining ingredients make a very nice lip balm!

Even though I wouldn’t recommend eating it, the slightly spicy, warm and comforting smell of this leftover Honey & Cinnamon Lip Balm is definitely delicious. It’s been a huge hit with friends I’ve gifted it to, as well as with my own daughters.

Please don’t read this little story and think, “Why go to all that trouble when I could just buy some lip balm?” Without peaches and pumpkin, lip balm is very quick and easy to make.  And it’s so much cheaper than store-bought, since organic, non-toxic lip balm can be quite pricy.

8 tubes of lip balm

Ingredients

1 T. + 1 t. beeswax

1 T. shea butter

2 t. coconut oil

1 t. apricot oil

1 t. honey

8 drops cinnamon essential oil

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, bring about a pint of water to simmer over medium heat. Place an oven-safe bowl over the saucepan, making a double broiler.
2. Add beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, and apricot oil to the bowl and heat until beeswax melts, stirring every now and again.
3. When the beeswax is melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in honey and essential oil.
4. Pour into lip balm tubes or tins.
5. Let cool before use.

When using essential oils please remember that they are very concentrated, so you need very little. Because of their concentration it’s always a good idea to dilute some of the oil and test it on your skin before using, just to make sure you don’t react negatively.
