Are you a self-described sugar addict or carbo-holic?

Do you feel like your cravings for sugar & carbs have gotten worse since going GF?

Is one piece of candy or one cookie never enough to satisfy you?

 

If you said yes, then this giveaway is for you! I’ve partnered with Jennifer Fugo from Gluten Free School to offer you an AMAZING giveaway. She’s a Certified Health Coach & Yoga Teacher and is pretty awesome. THANKS JENNIFER! 

Even though I’ve been gluten-free for long enough to feel comfortable in the diet, I still feel like sugar ultimately controls my life. I’m desperately afraid to go Paleo or do the Whole 30 because I know that I’d have to give up my precious sugar. Even though I really limit my intake, it still dictates my moods and I can’t go a day without a sweet.

Gluten Free School offers virtual classes (that’s right – you don’t even have to leave your house) to help you finally kick your sugar habit! Please read on as I highlight parts of her sugar cleanse website (you can visit the whole thing here), and read about what the virtual class offers).

Truth is, sugar:

• Contributes to weight gain and even belly bloating & discomfort
• Saps away your energy (even though you think it’s giving it to you)
• Feeds nasty bacteria, yeast and other undesirable microbes living in your gut
• Keeps you coming back for more — yes, it’s that addictive even in the smallest quantities
