Why regulating your blood sugar is important
This becomes really important when you want to prevent cravings because it helps you avoid a blood sugar dip. And when your blood sugar dips too low your body naturally wants a quick carb.
What it feels like if your blood sugar is low
When your blood sugar is low it may feel like:
Tiredness
Irritated/angry
Cravings for sugar and carbs
Anxiety
Mood swings
Shaky, jittery feelings
Poor memory
Brain fog
Headaches
How to avoid the blood sugar roller coaster
To balance your blood sugar, you need to fuel your body correctly. Protein and healthy fat are really key. I go into depth on this topic in my nutrition course available for clients and members. Learn more here on how to work with me.
How to avoid the “hangry” feeling
If you are feeling hangry this could be a sign you just haven’t ate in a while or you didn’t eat well and you need to focus on blood sugar balance.
How your mindset affects your control around food
If you think you can’t, you won’t. Start tuning into what thoughts are you telling yourself about food. Do you think you just can’t go without sugar or pop?

We do so many things out of habit and this includes food too! So bring some awareness and then make a conscious choice.
