Today, she recognizes that for her, it's better not to have any than to try to have a little.It was when she was in the hospital in 2021 after an accident that Dana remembered that her grandmother had lost both her legs to diabetes. Dana herself had been diabetic since she was 40 and still didn't give up the sugar. In fact, she even had a heart attack and bypass surgery when she was 50, and that still didn't help her give up sugar. But then she thought: What if I've screwed up my life with this sugar? What if my leg doesn't heal?In this episode, you'll hear how Dana finally became sugar free and reversed her diabetes. For Dana, being sugar free means that she tries not to eat any processed food.

Beck signed up for the Freedom from Cravings Formula 5-step program in the spring of 2024 because although she knew all about the negative effects of sugar, she was still struggling with sugar cravings.Especially for chocolate.Chocolate with nuts, to be precise.In fact, Step 2 of the program is designed to be a deep dive into learning to make sustainable habit changes.One example is that instead of focusing so much on stopping a bad habit (reaching for chocolate), Beck reframed that into introducing a good habit (eating foods that don't contain added sugar).This positive reframe made a huge difference for her to be able to claim back her personal power with respect to sugar and chocolate.This episode is an excerpt from one of Beck's accountability calls with me (published with her permission, of course). You get to be a fly on the wall and listen in on how Beck is working on changing her habits around chocolate.To get personalized guidance from me, plus support and accountability in a small group, so that you can  get rid of cravings, slim down, and finally feel in control around food... join the 90-day program, Freedom from Cravings Formula TODAY.Do the Cravings Quiz and take the first step to get rid of your cravings!
