How to Beat Your Sugar Addiction

Cake, chocolate and fizzy drinks… there is no shortage of sugary treats to tempt you when hunger strikes! And if you have a sweet tooth, they are your go-to foods.

But how can you beat that sugar addiction when temptation is everywhere?

Learning about the foods you eat and how they affect your body should be step 1 to recover from sugar addiction. It’s wise to figure out how to make sense of the labels, look for the part stating “Carbohydrates (of which sugars)”. Alcohol, for example, is an often overlooked source of sugar – yet it makes up on average 11% of our daily sugar intake. When you are having some drinks with friends, try switching every other drink for water. Plus try using low-sugar mixers in your vodka or gin, such as soda water.

Even if you manage to steer clear of the obvious villains, your diet may still be in the danger zone. Fruit juice and breakfast cereal have hidden sources of sugar. Going over the recommended daily sugar limit, means you are still at risk of tooth decay and weight gain. This can lead you to other, more serious, illnesses. If you want to take control of what you eat, you need to apply some serious sugar-busting techniques.

Beating your sugar addiction isn’t about resistance, as it is often futile to solely rely on willpower. It’s about changing your habits for long-term change. The infographic below by Budget Direct Life Insurance is packed with simple ideas to try.

Bring your daily sugar intake down! You will be amazed by how much better you feel — and how quickly.

“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”

“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”

“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”

“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”

“So many things are just falling into my lap.”

“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.

I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”

Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”

“I have never been this happy or powerful.”

“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”

Blake Worrall-Thompson, Performance Coach & PT

“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”

I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.

“Magick happens every time!”

This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
