Don't Cut The Sugar Just Cut The Sugar Cravings: A Sustainable Approach to Curbing Your Sweet Tooth

 Don't Cut The Sugar Just Cut The Sugar Cravings: A Sustainable Approach to Curbing Your Sweet Tooth

Sugar has become a routine indulgence, a silent reward, and often, a secret comfort. What’s more dangerous, however, is not the sugar itself, but the urge, the craving, that hijacks your willpower and insists, “You need this.” 

“Cravings Are Not Random - They’re Wired”

Don’t Cut the Sugar - Just Cut the Sugar Cravings is not another manual on clean eating or restrictive discipline. It is an invitation to develop a sustainable, honest, and peaceful relationship with food. One rooted in science, but guided by compassion.

This book is not about restrictive diets, fad trends, or detox gimmicks.  Instead, it guides you using scientific insights and practical tools. towards understanding cravings, managing them wisely, and building a lifestyle where sugar no longer pulls your strings.

I learnt about the Cue-Driven behaviour and the habit loops:

G Time of day (post-lunch, late night)

G Location (watching TV on the couch)

G People (snacking with friends)

G Emotions (loneliness or celebration)

And how to engage with the body pattern in dealing with cravings. I tried making a log of my cravings.

J What time it occurs

J What you were doing

J How you felt emotionally (stressed, bored, tired, etc.) 

J Whether you gave in, delayed, or overcame it

Overall, this book is for the everyday person who has a surprisingly emotional relationship with the snack drawer. The one who buys multigrain muesli, reads the nutrition label, is appalled by the sugar content… and eats it anyway because it’s already in the bowl.
