#352 - The Real Reason You Can’t Stop Craving Sugar — And How to Finally Break Free
Struggling with late-night sugar binges or constant cravings?
Coach Pat dives deep into the real reason you can’t stop craving sugar—and it’s not because you’re weak. In this episode, you’ll learn how to identify emotional triggers, regulate your nervous system, and break the sugar cycle without extreme restriction.
Using his proven FIX Framework, Coach Pat helps you regain control of your cravings, create food freedom, and finally lose stubborn belly fat.
Key Takeaways:
🧠 The Real Reason You Crave Sugar
✅ It’s not a sugar problem—it’s a nervous system regulation issue.
✅ Cravings often mask deeper emotions like stress, loneliness, or boredom.
🛠️ The FIX Framework
✅ F – Feel the Trigger: Pause and name the emotion (boredom, anxiety, stress).
✅ I – Interrupt the Pattern: Use 60 seconds of deep breathing or physical movement.
✅ X – Exchange the Behavior: Replace the craving with something positive (gratitude text, music, a short walk, pushups, etc.).
💧 Hydration & Sleep Matter More Than You Think
✅ Less than 60–88 oz of water daily? You’re dehydrated—leading to more cravings.
✅ Poor sleep = low mood + more impulsive decisions with food.
☀️ Don’t Forget Sunlight
✅ Vitamin D (from natural sunlight) is a free mood booster that helps reduce emotional eating.
