The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | The Bitter Truth About Sugar

Ep #24: The Bitter Truth About Sugar

February 16, 2022

Last week, I was talking all about how the habit of comfort eating might be interfering with your weight loss goals. Well, in this episode, I’ve got another big one that I see preventing so many people from losing weight, and this one is a little more specific: sugar.

It’s not just over-eating that leaves you feeling like you don’t have control over your body. It’s what you’re eating. It’s no secret that sugars and starches aren’t the best fuel. But the truth is, they don’t just impact our ability to lose weight. Sugar is a serious detriment to our mental health as well.

Tune in this week to discover how sugar is impacting your physical health while simultaneously messing with your brain. It can seem like sugar is in everything, so in this episode, I’m showing you how to eat the foods that give your body and your brain what they need to feel energized and experience true joy.
