How to Stop Sugar Cravings
Often clients come to me because they are addicted to sugar, so today I’m going to explain why we crave sugar and teach you how to stop sugar cravings once and for all!
I have also teamed up with Inner J to bring you an awesome giveaway that will help you stop sugar cravings. Keep reading to learn how you can win two mixed boxes (12 bars per box) of their signature bar line Inner J raw vegan nutrition bars plus some of their new line of Super Krisps.
How to Stop Sugar Cravings Video
When you crave something, especially sugar, it means that the body is missing something. It is actually a good thing that we get these cravings, but it is important to understand why they are happening. When we know the source of the sugar cravings, we can take the right steps to satisfy them instead of finding ourselves on the road to weight gain, candida, and other health issues.
If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up and share it with anyone you know who is addicted to sugar so they can learn how to stop sugar cravings as well!

Avoiding artificial sweeteners is a great step to learning how to stop sugar cravings. When you eat something sweet your body gets ready (and excited) for the sugar it is about to receive. When all it gets is an artificial sweetener, it is not satiated and continues to crave more sugar and carbs. This causes you to reach for sweet treats full of empty calories to satisfy a craving that artificial sweeteners can never fill.
My Guide to Natural Sugar Substitutes will help you ditch artificial sweeteners and teach you how to stop sugar cravings by sweetening your food with nutrient dense alternatives. It also contains 4 bonus recipes from my cookbook Jesse Lane Wellness Healthy Dairy Free Desserts.

Inner J Bar Giveaway
Lack of nutrients like protein and low blood sugar are two causes for sugar cravings that I mention in the video. Eating a protein-packed snack between meals is a great way to keep blood sugar levels stable and stop sugar cravings.
The Inner J  line of raw, natural energy bars are packed with protein, they’re like a meal in a bar. Super Krisps are a delicious indulgence without the guilt, they have only 120 calories, 5g sugar/fibre and whopping 6g of protein per bar. You can enjoy at work while on the go, or anytime as a healthy treat.
The energy bars come in five delicious flavours: Chocolate goji, chocolate quinoa coconut, chocolate almond coconut, lemon goji and apple cinnamon. You will get to try these flavours if you win the giveaway!
You will also get to try Super Krisps which are the newest addition to the Inner J line of delicious, healthy snacks. They’re an extra bite of crunch to your day! They’re made of rice/pea crisp, and a super-seed base (hemp, chia, pumpkin & sunflower seeds).
Today’s post is in partnership with Inner J. Opinions are always my own and I only review companies and brands that I truly believe in and love.

i like to check out “Joyous Health” and “Live the Smart Way” for recipes & holistic health information
Hi Joy, I also lobe Joyous Health! I have been featured on her website twice, I shared my Clean Green Kale Smoothie and Cherry Coconut Macaroons.
These bars sound fabulous (and I could even eat them!!). I love checking out Kris Carr’s site, but there are literally dozens I read. I really enjoy seeing what other holistic nutritionists are up to! 🙂
Yeah they are great Ricki! I also love Kris Carr, you can find a few of my recipes on her website!
I have a few blogs I like to go to (Angela Liddon, Kathy Patalsky, Richa Hingle), but when I’m looking for a specific kind of recipe I google it!
I also love Oh She Glows! I have to check out Kathy Patalsky and Richa Hingle, thank you so much for sharing Jacky!
I love Pinterest for holistic recipes
Me too Steph!!! I lose hours drooling over yummy recipes on Pinterest. You might enjoy checking out my Pinterest account.
I look up vegetarian and raw foods recipes. I started with Kris Carr.
I love Kris Carr! I actually have some of my recipes published on her website like the Raw Black Forest Brownies from my cookbook!
I mostly go to YouTube to find information but I have a few blogs I love like skinnymom.com, http://www.sugarfreemom.com, http://www.theholisticingredient.com/
I have so many bookmarks!
Oooo both of those websites look delicious Brenda! Thank you so much for sharing.
Usually Pinterest guides me to the best info that I’m searching for.
I’m addicted to Pinterest Jenny, you might like my account!
I tend to go to naturally sassy or nutrition stripped as well as Pinterest.

Awesome Wen! I would love to know which ones are your favourite.
I haven’t started eating healthy except for my smoothies and I got a general recipe from GreenSmoothieGirl.com.
That is an awesome website Rig! Have you checked out my 21 Day Smoothie Guide? I think you would enjoy it.
I use Feastie.com to calculate and pick ingredients, but I’ve come across several blogs I now go to to check out if there are any new recipes, Oh She Grows, Elana’s Pantry, some of Chocolate Covered Katie’s recipes, basically whomever has the most wholesome ingredients without thickeners or rice flour of any kind, I love Almond and Coconut flours, those are basically the only flours I will do, other than Arrowroot or Tapioca. If the recipe calls for a chia or flax seed egg, I will do that then, but no xanthan, guar, or any of those gums, YUCK! I prefer my gums left in the bean, and I prefer Xanthan to stay out of my stomach/body and in the bacteria. yuck!
Hi Heather, I totally agree with you about the gums being left in beans! I love using flax and chia eggs. You might enjoy my cookbook Healthy Dairy Free Desserts, it contains over 30 yummy dessert recipes that use wholesome ingredients.
I generally will google the specific recipe/ingredient that i’m looking to use. I also love your recipes (jesselanewellness.com), Mandy King and Ella Woodward.
Yay I’m so happy you love my recipes! Mandy and I actually went to school together and are close friends!
