Sugar might be one of the most unhealthy ingredients in our modern diets. According to the World Health Organization, we should only get about 5 percent of our daily calories from the sweet stuff. Unfortunately, most of us are getting far more, with the average person in the U.S. and the U.K. consuming two to three times that amount on any given day. If you are ready to reduce your sugar consumption, self hypnosis downloads for sugar cravings can help you make it happen.
The Sour Truth about Your Sweet Tooth
Sugar occurs naturally in many foods, including fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Some foods, especially processed foods, also have large amounts of added sugars, such as sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup, including:
- Soft drinks and fruit drinks
- Cereals
- Cookies and cakes
- Candy
- Prepared soups and sauces
- Cured meats
- Bread
Too much added sugar can have a serious effect on your health and has been linked to:
- Heart disease
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Fatty liver disease
- Inflammation
Plant and dairy foods that contain natural sugars are not as risky for your body because they contain other nutrients, including fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins, that can help offset the potential risks and keep your energy supplies steady. Added sugars, on the other hand, tend to contain little or no nutritional value and can lead to a cycle of sugar highs and crashes. Self hypnosis for sugar cravings can help you move beyond the cycle and enjoy a healthier, craving-free diet.
Kicking Your Cravings with Self Hypnosis for Sugar Addiction
Sugar is bad for our health, but there is also some evidence that it can be addictive. The same brain pathways that are activated by addictive drugs also respond to the natural “high” of sugar. Other components of addiction, including cravings and binging, are also often related to excess sugar consumption. There is still a debate on whether sugar is an actual addiction or not, but anyone who has ever tried to give up their morning latte or afternoon chocolate bar knows: Quitting sugar is not easy, but self hypnosis for sugar addiction can help.
With self hypnosis for sugar addiction, you can learn to quiet those cravings naturally, without drugs, and without surgery. Willpower alone often is not enough to combat sugar cravings. Self hypnosis downloads for sugar cravings work on a subconscious level to help you unravel those tightly-knit associations between sugar and the positive feelings it can bring.
When you indulge in a bright dessert, you feel rewarded. When you drink a sugary cappuccino, you feel awake and energized. When you eat dark chocolate, you feel indulgent and treated. All that repetition creates behavior patterns that are deeply embedded in your subconscious. The bottom line is that you know you should say no, but you say yes instead.
When you use self hypnosis for sugar cravings, your subconscious becomes more suggestible. You can end those subconscious urges that are driving your cravings, especially if you are reaching for that chocolate out of habit.
Losing Weight with Hypnosis is Your Cherry on the Sundae
Not everyone who likes sugar needs to lose weight. Many people who cannot say no to a piece of cake or chocolate are often very slim. Unfortunately, sugar addiction can often lead to weight gain.
What if you could ease yourself into deep relaxation and let go of your sugar addiction and these extra pounds around the waist?
Well, with a hypnosis download for weight loss, you can remove the negative associations you had built around sugary items and instead enjoy a diet comprising more of the essential building blocks in a healthy diet.

Self hypnosis for sugar cravings works a little like a software update. It helps you delete those sugar cravings and remove the positive associations you have created over time. You can start reframing your urges with new ideas, such as “sugar weighs me down” or “eating too much sugar makes me feel tired.”
