How To Beat Sugar, Salt and Fat Cravings! + Fall Smoothie Recipe – Saturday Strategy
Whether we have the best costume idea, or the biggest parties, or see the scariest movies, the plundering and pillaging on Halloween night always culminates in one ridiculous spoil: An ENORMOUS bag of candy, and everybody was a winner… well, except our teeth, and our health.
We all know the tragic toll that sugar takes on our bodies. Sugar accounts for over 70 different chronic diseases, yet the average American consumes over 130 pounds of sugar per year! What’s making us consume all of this sugar, even though we all know it’s wrong? CRAVINGS.
Some cravings come from a physical source. For example:
Since many cravings revolve around sugary foods in particular, scientists are beginning to relate sugar cravings with addiction to other substances. Recent brain scan tests show that sugar, alcohol, and tobacco all stimulate the SAME part of the brain.
If we ate or drank extremely sugary or rich foods during a fun experience as a child or young adult, that SAME food may eventually trigger those same hormones we experienced in the past. Much like many people struggling with addiction, the feeling our vice gives us may remind us of a happy or fun experience.
So what do we do to overcome our cravings? Ask yourself this question: Do I desire and crave this food for comfort? Is the experience of enjoying this meal or snack an ESCAPE from something else? Lastly, am I eating this to remind myself of a better time?
If you need, don’t be scared to find a professional to talk to. If food is an escape, let’s talk to someone about why you don’t feel happy or fulfilled. If you eat cookies or donuts to remind you of your past, let’s talk to someone about what changed, and what we need to deal with or who we need to forgive to move on, and be happy in the moment. If your craving brings you comfort, in place of a loved one or friend, it may be time to surround ourselves with more comforting people.
So while you’re working on your soul, let’s bust out the blender and make a smoothie that will fill us up, and smash all of our nutrient needs BEFORE all these darn holiday parties roll around. Who like’s fruitcake anyway? (hold the cake, and just gimme some fruit I’d say.)
Recipe:
1 bunch of spinach
½ banana
5 pitted dates
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup chia seeds
½ avocado
2 cups of almond milk
2 tsp cinamon
2 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp celtic sea salt
Friends, it’s impossible to tackle the issue of cravings without touching on the Body, the Mind, and the Spirit. It’s a decision. A step. A leap in a direction that, at first, may seem scary and uncomfortable. It is a direction toward which our heart and soul have been beckoning since the day we were born. It’s easy to see that looking back, but I would have told you it was crazy nonsense 4 years ago. If you haven’t experienced your own Body, Mind, and Spirit transformation, than I urge you to do some searching.
The recipe in this video and blog is designed to help in your goal of meeting those ever-so-important micro-nutrient requirements, while satiating your appetite BEFORE you meet up with your loved ones at a party or event.

So…true about stress relating to the adrenals.

I noticed this is from 2014. Would you use a juicer AND blender?
Thank you for sharing, my three children are giving up soda this year, and to help them out I thought of sharing this video. and myself gave up on coffee, and challenging my children to keep our new year clean and health, heart healthy🍓🌺.❤

Thank you for this informative vid Drew! 💪💯☀
Will try this recipe. I have hyper thyroid and I crave all day every day.
You're amazing Drew, I love healthy smoothies!
Bro keto is the way to go.
Sugar is the killer.
Healthy fat satisfies big time.
You are an amazing beacon of light!!! Please help me on my journey to health. I truly believe if I could juice every day I could heal all my stomach ailments that I deal with from my battle with lupus. I am so desperate to feel better but I just can't afford a juicer. Feeling better will give me empowerment to help others more because I know I would have more energy to stay focused on telling everyone who will listen about everything I learn
i loved your talk on salt sugar and fat, and about accepting your present….
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I love all!!! Big kiss, Tina from Brasil.

Hi, I am not addicted to sugar but I do have a problem. Lol. I only crave sugar at night after dinner. I was brought up in Brazil and there low income my mother used to make a simple cake in the evening from scratch if you know what I am taking about. So, sometimes fruits don't do it and I just have a spoon of honey. Please explain.😊
can you have this everyday??? how do you let yourself become more OK with drinking green drinks. I don t mind spinach, but doing celery and lettuce… it just seems weird in a drink, my goal in the next 2 year 150lbs…. but want most of the weight off in a year since my sister is getting married and she wants me next you her and I want to enhance her beauty not be this "not me" of a person standing by her. I used to be in the sports, and being healthy and I let myself go. I think with losing the weight I will find my self. and also be healthier again. in the pass year. I have had more heart issues with just being in pain. border line diabetic and it scares me since I help my eye doctors treat and manage patience and now I'm just like that I want to be a role model not a person on the side line.
