Bethany is a self-identified sugar addict who struggled with food, sweets, weight and dieting for as long as she can remember.As a child, she remembers scheming ways to get more than her share of cookies, chocolate, or candies. Bethany started dieting at about age 11, and didn't stop seeking out and trying different diets until her late 40's. All of this left her feeling as though she was deficient in some way, and wondering if she'd ever figure it out.Two huge shifts came when Bethany learned that there's such a thing as sugar addiction. She realized that she was a sugar addict. She ditched sugar, sweeteners, and the scale in order to become free. Listen to Bethany's touching, insightful, and inspiring story as she tells how peace with food is now her number one goal (instead of being at a goal weight).

129. "Sugar can negatively affect your skin": Erin

Gastroenterologist Dr. Cecilia Minano had so many health issues as well as high stress levels. When she finally got coaching, she learned empowering boundaries and self-care that changed her life. She tells about her childhood when she would calm her insecurities and self-soothe with sugar. With her medical background, she now knows that sugar and industrially manufactured food products can lead to dysbiosis (an unbalanced gut). Once she eliminated most sugar from her own diet, her life changed for the better. Cecilia explains how the physical and emotional tension in our body that we call stress affects all aspects of our physical and emotional health, including in the microbiome. And processed foods make everything worse.Our gut health is central to our general and emotional health. For example, serotonin is made in the gut and helps to regulate mood and reactions to stress. Stress can increase blood sugar levels, and eating less sugar can help improve your gut health.Find Dr. Cecilia Minano here.

She tells about her childhood when she would calm her insecurities and self-soothe with sugar. With her medical background, she now knows that sugar and industrially manufactured food products can lead to dysbiosis (an unbalanced gut). Once she eliminated most sugar from her own diet, her life changed for the better. Cecilia explains how the physical and emotional tension in our body that we call stress affects all aspects of our physical and emotional health, including in the microbiome. And processed foods make everything worse. Our gut health is central to our general and emotional health. For example, serotonin is made in the gut and helps to regulate mood and reactions to stress. Stress can increase blood sugar levels, and eating less sugar can help improve your gut health. <a href="https://www.ceciliaminanomd.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Find Dr. Cecilia Minano here</a>.

Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD, is the founder of Bright Line Eating (BLE). In her teens, she started using drugs, just for fun and experimentation at first. But she got really hooked and her drug abuse got worse and worse.By the time she picked up speed (or crystal meth), she was 16 and was very concerned about her weight already. Except that when she used speed, she didn't feel she had to eat on it. And she lost a lot of weight. Susan finally got clean and sober when she was 20. Her drug addiction had lasted six years. But within nine months she'd gained 40 pounds. Susan started teaching in a community college, obtained her PhD, and got to develop courses in the psychology of eating and positive psychology. These laid the framework for what she ended up developing in Bright Line Eating.Eventually, Susan traded her 12-step meetings for food meetings. She finally found the right configuration of what to do with her food. She lost her excess weight... and kept it off.Susan has been slender now for 19 years. She learned the miracle of not eating sugar and flour. She also weighs and measures her food. Her life got so much better after that. For Susan, "none is easier than some". In this episode, Susan and I talk about food groups, whole foods, the NOVA food classification scale, individuality, what we need and what we want, her identity as a food addict, following rules, intuitive eating, and freedom.Find Susan and BLE here.To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account,  TikTok, and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast:  scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.

125. "I found my freedom from sugar addiction": Susan

Lesya was always on diets when she was growing up. So she thought: If I become a nutritionist, I'll finally know the secret to how to eat, how to lose weight, and how to keep weight off.But she was severely disappointed when she graduated. She questioned what she learned in nutrition school because it just didn't make sense to her. So she decided not to become a registered dietitian, and pursued a different career.She'd tried the traditional "Eat less, move more" to lose her post-baby extra pounds. But that didn't work. She discovered keto in 2015, and that helped suppress her issues with sugar. She also started learning things about food that went totally against what she'd been taught in nutrition school. More fat? Even saturated fat?? She was shocked... but it worked!She lost a lot of weight. But Leysa realized that she was using keto to mask her sugar addiction. She wasn't getting to the root of her issues. Leysa had to address her underlying reasons for struggling with sugar, desserts, and keto sweeteners. She's an abstainer - she couldn't stop at one bite. Listen to how Lesya overcame her dependency on sweet foods and how she's found the freedom from sugar that suits her.Check out Lesya's podcast: Fit Moms Squad.To get personal guidance, support, and accountability to live your healthier intermittent fasting lifestyle with less sugar: Join the the After Sugar Club today!To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account,  TikTok, and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast:  scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.

Wendy was born in 1947 in England, when sugar was still rationed. At that time, sweets and chocolate were rare treats - they ate them every six months or so. Wendy shares her memories of growing up on a smallholding where her parents and grandparents grew their own food. They ate three meals a day and worked hard outdoors. Wendy brought up her daughter with all kinds of foods available on the table. Today, Wendy's grandchildren's reality is very different. In her 50s, Wendy had some serious health issues that left her crippled and bedridden. Through the power of gratitude, positive affirmations, and mirror work, and a diet that reduced her inflammation, Wendy was able to make her dream come true of running on the beach and living a long and healthy life. Today, Wendy is 75 and full of vitality. As a member of the After Sugar Club, she's still taking care of her health and making small tweaks to feel her best.

122. "It's never too late to look after your health and eat less sugar": Wendy

Karin was diagnosed with colon cancer after a routine colonoscopy when she was 51 years old, in January 2020.Yes, she had digestive issues, but this was a shock because she'd always taken care of her health. Karin decided that this wasn't going to be the end of her. After resection surgery, she was lucky not to need chemotherapy or radiation therapy.  Thinking back to when she grew up in the 70s and 80s, Karin remembers that she ate the Standard American Diet, which is full of highly processed foods. But she was generally healthy and slim. Now Karin says that her body looked healthy on the outside, but it wasn't necessarily healthy on the inside. So she decided to look after her diet. The first thing she did was to research and educate herself about nutrition and gut health. She started by listening to her body.  Karin didn't think she ate that much sugar. But all the processed foods she was eating (including condiments like ketchup!) and soda contain hidden sugars and sweeteners and refined seed oils. So she learned to read labels and ingredients lists. In this episode, Karin shares her empowering message and wealth of knowledge about gut health and the importance of eating whole nutritious foods... which automatically excludes sugar and ultra-processed foods!Find Karin here and her Health Yeah Life podcast.To get personal guidance, support, and accountability to live your healthier intermittent fasting lifestyle with less sugar: Join the the After Sugar Club today!To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account,  TikTok, and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast:  scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.

119. Why "life after sugar" is so unpopular

Greg's been a marathon runner for years.He'd always believed that you need to "carb load" before and during a long-distance run.So he would use gels and other quick-burning sugars to get an energy boost. But then he'd suffer from the energy crash that came with them, as well as cramping.What Greg found after several experiments was that he runs better and longer with other sources of fuel: protein and fat. And also, it's not just what runners eat on the day, but also in between races or marathons that makes a difference: You can't run off a bad diet!Now Greg sees rewards as foods that make him feel good and run better. He recognizes that for his physiology, less processed foods and much less sugar works for him.Whether you're a marathon runner or you lead a more sedentary lifestyle, Greg has some inspiring insight about living a happy and healthy life.To get personal guidance, support, and accountability to live your healthier intermittent fasting lifestyle with less sugar: Join the the After Sugar Club today!To get rid of cravings, especially if you're an intermittent faster, download your 5 tips here.Also check out the Life After Sugar Facebook page, and subscribe to my Instagram account and to the Life After Sugar YouTube channel.To rate and review this podcast:  scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
