What to do when cravings hit
November 30, 2025
Cutting sugar can feel empowering… until the cravings hit.
In this episode, I walk you through what’s really happening when you stop eating sugar and refined carbs, why your body and brain can feel out of control at first, and why this doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
You’ll hear about:
- Why cravings can feel stronger when you first cut sugar (and why this is normal)
- What’s happening in your body as it switches from sugar/glucose to more stable fuel
- Common “detox” symptoms like headaches, low energy, brain fog, and irritability
- How hydration and salt can help reduce cravings
- What to eat when you feel hungry so cravings calm down instead of getting louder
- The emotional side of cravings — stress, habits, comfort, and anxiety
- How to “ride the wave” of a craving without white-knuckling or giving in
By the end of the episode, you’ll know how to “ride the wave” of a craving instead of fighting it.
I give you simple tools you can use in the moment, so that you can feel calmer and more in control when cravings hit.
