Sugar addiction is ruining my IF progress
Been doing intermittent fasting for about 6 months now and while I've stuck with it pretty well, my sweet tooth is completely sabotaging everything. I'll do great all day during my eating window but then I just go crazy with desserts and candy
It's like I can control the timing of when I eat but I have zero willpower when it comes to what I'm eating. I've tried eating more volume with veggies and stuff but I still end up reaching for the sugary stuff afterwards. The worst part is I feel guilty about it but then that just makes me want to eat more sweets
Working night shifts as security doesn't help either since I'm always tired and looking for that sugar rush to stay alert. Anyone else dealt with this kind of thing? I'm looking for maybe some podcasts or books that helped you break the cycle
I know logically that I need to just stop buying the junk but when I'm stressed or bored I always end up at the vending machine or convenience store. Would really appreciate any tips from people who've been through this
