Tips to Curb Sugar Cravings for Your New Year's Resolution

Health and Wellness

New Year’s Resolutions are commonly focused on health and wellness and health experts agree that cutting back on sugar is a great area to focus on. When reducing the amount of sugar you consume, you’ll probably face sugar cravings. Here are a few tips to help control sugar cravings.

Hungry? Eat Something Filling!

There is a difference between a craving and hunger, and it’s important to understand the distinction. A craving is not your body’s signal that it needs food for energy. Rather, it is your brain asking you to give it something that releases feel-good hormones. That’s why having a craving hit when you really are hungry is so hard to resist.

When a craving strikes when you are truly hungry, eat a healthy snack or meal as soon as possible. A high protein option is best as it helps you feel fuller for longer.

The Power of a Shower

When a sugar craving strikes, a hot shower or bath can work wonders. It might sound a little crazy, but if you shower under hot water for a few minutes, you are likely to lose your craving. Think of how you feel after a hot bath – perhaps a little dazed? It’s easy to understand how a hot shower might be a helpful tool in curbing sugar cravings.

Get Moving

Another common New Year’s Resolution is to exercise more, so why not combine the two? If all you can think about is a chocolate bar, a good way to distract yourself and improve your health and wellness is to get a little exercise. Exercise releases endorphins that can help turn off the craving

Create Balance

Remember that it’s okay to indulge in a sweet treat every once in a while as long as you keep sight of your overall health and wellness goals. After all, life is all about balance.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
