In addition to a "surprise" question at the end, we're also going to discuss the truth about Subway Restaurant.

Show notes

In this episode of The Model Health Show we're getting into the bare basics of health and feeling good. Too many people today are up on their soapbox talking about advanced theories on changing your body. But how does someone actually get started?!

I think that when we start living a life of true health and wellness, we lose touch with what it feels like to be sick, tired, and not knowing where to turn. One of the greatest opportunities we have as we get healthier is to step up and take people with us... but we have to start from where people are NOT where we are.

This episode is for people who want to live a healthy lifestyle and need some honest guidance to get started. You can literally be at McDonald's listening to this on your iPhone right now. This is for you, and I want you to know that somebody's got your back!

TMHS 025: How To Stop Sugar Cravings (Without Getting A Sweet Tooth Root Canal) Nov 06, 2013

Show notes

In this episode we dive into the wide, wide world of sugar addiction, craving unhealthy foods, and gold-plated sweet tooth smiles. Do you have "issues" with craving sweets or other unhealthy foods? Do you find yourself eating foods that you KNOW are bad for you and end up feeling guilty afterward? Well, if this is you, then this is the most important show you'll ever hear!

Look, I'm not trying to teach you how to control sugar cravings, I'm teaching you how to stop sugar cravings dead in their tracks. Sweets, sugar, and carbs in general, are the main driver of your body's fat-storing hormone insulin. If you don't have your sugar cravings in order, then you're going to have a one-way ticket to unwanted fat deposited in places that you really won't like.

You CAN beat this. And you don't have to do a fancy sugar detox either. You just need to have the right tools and strategy at your disposal to take back control of your mind, body, and health for good. Now let's get to it!

In this episode you'll discover:

Why using your "will power" will never work to stop craving sugar.
The hormone that shuts down your appetite and helps you to stop food cravings.
Where the "satiety hormone" get produced in your body (this will surprise you).
The gland in your brain that regulates your calorie intake.
What your different types of fat tissue are (the good and the not-so-good).

How to naturally eliminate candida (3 important steps).
The 4 keys to improving leptin sensitivity and break the addiction to sugar.
How to fight sugar cravings with a special type of exercise.
The #1 type of food to eat to stop sugar cravings.
Why you should never say you have a "sweet tooth" again.
What some smart alternatives are to "treat yourself" with.
How knowing your metabolic type can help determine the best foods for you.
