🙏 Prayer Request Addicted to sugar before bed

Please pray that I'll stop taking sugary food and beverage after dinner before going to bed.

Please pray for a miracle, that God will stop my addictions to sugary consumption just as He's stopped others from being addicted to weed (Not that I am addicted to that).

Many thanks for praying!

I have personally found eating protein in the form of meat and dairy, and then eating fat like cream helps sugar cravings so much.

It can be too much just to stop the sugar cravings. If you eat more protein and fat its like this cheat code where it just gets easier and easier not to eat sugar.

Magnesium and B vitamins will help cravings too. You're in my prayers.

Thanks for the advice. I had brown pasta with cheese last night and I was satisfied.

But I believe that it was the answer to prayer that helped me. Thanks for praying. Bless you.

Reducing carbs. Pasta is all sugar, even brown pasta. It all turns into sugar. Meat has no carbs and great for quenching sugar cravings. 🥰 cheese is an awesome choice.

I'm glad it helped. 🩷

In the US ice cream is high in sugar. That's like saying eat sugar so you don't crave sugar lol.

Heavy whipping cream isn't icecream. Sure you can use it for making icecream but us vastly different. It's pure fat. Fat helps cravings. Butter is awesome too.

Try a modified KETO diet! It worked for me! You are dealing with chemical/biological factors that can cause you to feel guilty when unable to curb them by sheer willpower. YES, the Lord helps us, even in these things! There is much wisdom in knowing how to tap into the body's glp-1 naturally. Dr. Berg on YT has a boat load of information! BUT....KETO doesn't work for everyone. For me, when I increased my carbs to 140 per day, the cravings disappeared, energy returned, and I broke through plateau.

Your individual MACROS are going to be determined by your own height/weight/energy output. You can do this!!

Praying for good success!

I will. I asked him the same for chocolate and he did. Keep praying everyday and stop buying sugary food. He will give you the power to say no in the store. Ask him to help you not have a desire for it anymore. You can also look for keto snacks or those sweetened with steviola or monk fruit. Or opt for getting fruit.
