Curb your SUGAR CRAVINGS

Trying to lose weight but find yourself unable to resist the temptation of sugary treats? You’re not alone – 97%* of women struggle with sugar cravings, especially when experiencing PMS or perimenopause. This is due to the changing levels of hormones, including oestrogen, progesterone, serotonin and dopamine. These ‘unstable’ hormones have an effect on the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that controls functions such as emotions and appetite. When this is out of balance, those sugary treats seem all the more tempting!
