The real reason you can’t stop eating sugar is because your body is addicted to it..

Withdrawal pangs, headaches, lack of control, eating when you’re already full, constant thoughts of food

These signs don’t mean there’s something wrong with you.. They mean there’s something wrong with the food you’re eating..

Sugar is very addictive & we crave it more when we’re stressed.

So instead of going on another diet follow me & let’s overcome sugar addiction & emotional eating together 🫶🏾✨

10 foods you should add to your shopping basket
➙ Especially if you have type 2 diabetes.

1. Nuts
A small handful of unsalted mixed nuts provides healthy fats, fibre and protein to help keep you fuller for longer and support steadier blood sugar levels.

2. Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre and vitamins, making them a nourishing lower GI alternative to regular potatoes.

3. 100% Peanut Butter
Choose 100% peanut butter with no added sugar for a satisfying source of healthy fats and plant protein.

4. Vegetable Crisps
Best enjoyed occasionally, vegetable crisps can be a higher-fibre alternative to traditional potato crisps.

5. Rye Bread
Rye bread is high in fibre and digests more slowly than white breads, helping you stay satisfied between meals.

6. Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower rice packs are a low carbohydrate swap for rice and an easy way to add more vegetables to your meals.

7. Bulgur Wheat
Bulgur wheat is a fibre rich whole grain that can help support more stable blood sugar levels and keep you feeling full.

8. Chickpea Flour
Packed with plant protein and fibre, chickpea flour is a nutritious alternative to refined white flour for baking and cooking.

9. Ryvita Crispbread
Wholegrain crispbreads are a crunchy, high-fibre base for balanced snacks topped with foods like cottage cheese, hummus or avocado.

10. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
A light spray of extra virgin olive oil adds heart-healthy fats while helping you control portion sizes when cooking.

This number has only continued to grow. These are the best carb swaps to help stop that rise. 🫶🏾✨

Swap: White Potatoes  For: Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes contain more fibre than white potatoes, which can help support a steadier rise in blood sugar ✨

Swap: Wheat Bread
 For: Rye Bread

Rye bread is naturally higher in fibre, which can help reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal. ✨

Swap: Wheat Pasta
 For: Legume Pasta

Legume pasta contains more protein and fibre, which can help slow digestion and support a steadier blood sugar response. ✨

Swap: Rice
 For: Bulgur Wheat

Bulgur wheat contains more fibre and protein, which can help support a steadier blood sugar response. ✨

The truth is...

You don’t have to give up the foods you love.
A simple swap is all it takes to reduce your risk.

I don’t eat any ‘junk’ food at all.

Zero sugar.. Zero sweeteners & Zero refined carbs.

When people hear this they panic.. They tell me they could never do it.

I’m here to prove that if I can do it, as someone who weighed over 245lbs and was heavily addicted to sugar & ultra-processed foods.. Anybody can 🤎

I used to believe eating junk food would take away my pain.

So if I had a bad day or if something really upset me I’d turn to food.

And for that moment I would forget everything, junk food felt like it was helping me numb the pain.

But when I finally realised what I was doing I also realised it was all just an illusion. Food was never meant to be therapy, it was never meant to numb my body to the way I truly felt inside.

So I had to unlearn some things and relearn the true purpose of food.. To provide fuel and nutrition for my body ♥︎
