021. Treat = sweet? My take on sugar and sweeteners

Have you ever questioned your definition of "treat"? I never had. For the first 45 years of my life, there was a universal truth that treat = sweet.But then when I stopped eating sugar and sweeteners, I realized that my definition of "treat" was changing. With sugar and sweet foods out of the picture, I had the head space to think about my need for treats and whether they had to be sweet at all (or even edible!). In this episode, I share my own personal process of questioning what was behind my need for sweet treats. I also talk about sweeteners and whether they're any "better" than sugar. We touch on gut health too.Imagine if you didn't need sweetness as a treat any more... How would you feel? What would you eat or do? How would you find the sweetness in life?That's what this episode is all about.And if you need help to cope with cravings when you start reducing sugar and sweet foods, you can download my 5 tips here: https://aftersugarclub.com/podcast/To rate and review this podcast: scroll down in your podcast player on your phone and click on the stars.
