This is a great question: what to do when cravings hit! If you are a sugar addict and you consume a lot of refined foods made with white flour, corn syrup, and refined sugar, you may experience some withdrawals or cravings. First off, make sure you are keeping your blood sugar balanced with enough protein at each meal, that you're eating every 3-4 hours, and that you are not starting your day off with coffee, which sets you up for later cravings. Secondly, Understand that it doesn't have to be a question of willpower; in fact, you may have lower levels of the feel-good chemicals (neurotransmitters) in your brain--there is a physiological reason for your cravings. I have several good products that we stock to help cravings and help replenish missing nutrients that stop cravings for a more holistic approach. One product in particular contains the amino acid 5HTP that helps sugar cravings tremendously. Also, chromium and other minerals can help balance blood sugar. Contact me (info@maryvancenc.com) if you'd like to set up a free intro consult for more info on these products to help you through the detox! Hi Emily,

Really glad I stumbled upon your site, it's such a great resource. I *desperately* want to detox from sugar but have never been able to do it. You're inspiring me to try again. Unfortunately, the changes I have to make are more numerous than than yours. I eat a lot of things that are bad for me almost every day. Any advice on what to do when you hit a wicked sugar craving? :) Hi Mary! Really glad I stumbled upon your site, it’s such a great resource.
