Ever stood in front of the open cabinet searching for anything sweet but the only thing there is a can of sweetened condensed milk and you decide you can just use a spoon and eat it from the can?  I have, and while I didn't resort to the spoon, sugar cravings are serious. 

Did you know that a yeast overgrowth can cause sugar cravings? Or, an out of balance gut?  Or stress?  Here's a few tips on how to kill them.

First, don't feed them. Look for hidden sources of sugar. It truly is in just about everything. High fructose corn syrup is a biggie for us.

Next, think about the sugar replacement you use. I can't do Splenda. That's what drove me to the cabinet and the sweetened condensed milk. Thankfully, I came to my senses and figured out the cause.  If possible try to use a more natural sweetener.

Start your day with a healthy, balanced breakfast.  I really don't like this since I'm not a morning person but this truly does help. Especially having protein which keeps you full longer.

Drink more water. Honestly, I seriously dislike plain water. But there are lots of things you can add that give it some flavor. Lemon wedges, mint leaves, and cucumber slices are great choices.

Consider adding a supplement to your daily routine. Often our body is craving one thing or another and we believe it's sugar. Not sure what supplement to add? I can help. I've beat the sugar cravings. I no longer stalk the cabinets, drink soda by the gallon, or gorge on sugary snacks.  Sure, I still eat sweets...but it's on my terms. Not because I"m out of control.

​Breathe was my word for last year and I still love it. I often find myself taking a deep breath and doing the breathing thing  (For example, a few minutes ago when I was editing this post and somehow lost it and had to redo the whole thing.) But I needed a new word for this year and it came to me shortly after the first of the year.   Healthy.  I want to be healthy. I want to feel great and enjoy life and do stuff and darn it, I'm tired of not being healthy.

Healthy doesn't have a headache almost every day. Healthy doesn't take a nap almost every afternoon just to get through the rest of the evening. Healthy doesn't toss and turn at night while waiting to fall asleep.  Healthy doesn't get winded walking to the store door when there isn't a close parking space. Healthy doesn't wake up in the morning feeling horrid, with more aches and pains than the night before.  Healthy doesn't need daily allergy meds just to be able to breathe. Healthy doesn't want to just sit home and rest instead of going out and having fun. Healthy doesn't need caffeine and energy drinks to make it through the day. Healthy doesn't search the cabinets and fridge for anything with sugar. Healthy doesn't consider eating a can of sweetened condensed milk with a spoon. (I didn't but thought about it...that's when I realized splenda and I didn't get along.) Healthy doesn't hide from life. Healthy miserable and sad.

Yep, that was me. Honest...I hid a lot of it but still, that was me.  

Until almost 2 weeks ago...well, 12 days ago, actually.  Since then, I haven't had a single headache. Since then, I haven't needed an afternoon nap. (I did take one Sunday but that is 'cause Sundays are for rest.) Since then, I haven't taken a single allergy pill...and I can breathe!!!  I'm sleeping so much better, not waking at every little sound and waking rested and ready to take on whatever the day brings. My morning aches and pains are gone. I have more energy and am actually parking farther from the store to get in those extra steps.  And those sugar cravings...gone.  I actually didn't buy chocolate the other day. I feel so much better than I have in ages. I'm in a better frame of mind and mood. (Hubby likes that.) I'm looking forward to the future and doing stuff. I am hopeful.

Which leads me to the "P" word that made such a change. Plexus. That's right, Plexus. 

I swore I'd never try another "health" supplement from some network marketing company ever again. Like, never, ever, ever. And I swore I'd never, ever, ever, try to get anyone to try those "health" products. Again, like, never, ever, ever. 

Yet, here I am. Proudly telling you about Plexus and how great these products are. Here I am encouraging anyone who wants better health to give these products a try. If you want to be healthy and feel great, contact me. Let's chat about how Plexus products can change your life. You can use the contact form at the side, message me on Facebook (JeanLauzier), or email me.  

No expectations, no commitment, no pressure. Just sharing info and chatting.
