I often get the question about my #1 tip for kicking your sugar habit to the curb. 🍬 I am a HUGE fan of cutting out or taking breaks from this additive substance that causes:
❌ Energy Crashes
❌ Weight Gain
❌ Weakened Immune System
❌ Tooth Decay
❌ Stress
❌ Constant Cravings
❌ Insomnia
❌ Low Energy
❌ Premature Aging
Aside from all of these crappy side effects, sugar hides in nearly EVERYTHING! Here are just a few places you will find it.
❌ Cereal
❌ Condiments, like salad dressing, mayo, tomato sauce and ketchup
❌ Yogurt
❌ Dried Fruit
❌ Crackers
Ok, seriously… do we need sugar in mayo? In ketchup? Does fruit really need MORE sugar?? The answer is HELL NO 🙅♀️
BUT, when you to give up this sneaky jerk, you crave it like crazy! So what can you do?
✔️ Wean yourself off - Perhaps take it one meal at a time and be kind to yourself.
✔️ Swap all sugars for REAL maple syrup🍁 the healthiest of all sweeteners.
✔️ Make these amazing APPLE NACHOS!!🍏 Fruit is a great way to soothe that sugar craving!
Can you go a day without sugar?

Be sure to check the labels on all your packaged foods. Make sure there is no added crap! No crappy oils like soybean, canola or grapeseed oil. Also make sure there are no added sugars or preservatives. They are not needed or welcome on this snack (or ever 😉 ).
