How to Stop Eating Sugar
Take Control of Your Sugar Cravings
You know that you need to eat less sugar
You know sugar causes inflammation. Which contributes to all sorts of health conditions such as heart disease, fatty liver, and arthritis. And of course, type 2 diabetes. Not to mention that it gives you spikes of energy followed by deep energy crashes.
But here's the problem...
You’ve tried to quit sugar. Perhaps even participated in a 30-day quit sugar challenge. It sticks for a while.
But, your sugar cravings are so strong. The sugar calls out to you.
Eventually, you cave in and dive right back into the sugar. Leaving you to wonder if you've got a sugar addiction.
Leaving you feeling frustrated by another failed attempt at quitting sugar.
I've been there!
I'm registered dietitian Kristen Yarker, MSc, RD.
I’ve always had a sweet tooth. Growing up, while my brother’s Hallowe’en candy lasted for weeks, I would eat all of mine in a matter of days. And, every single week I spent my allowance on candy at the local corner store (a.k.a. convenience store). Large amounts of candy fueled cramming sessions for exams while I was attending university. And yes, the irony of eating candy to get me through nutrition exams didn’t escape me.
When I went through my divorce, again I turned to sugar. Buying so many cookies at the Starbucks in my condo building that I earned a gold rewards card.
It was then I realized how much I relied on sugar. Which was not good, since I was a dietitian (I should know better) and type 2 diabetes runs in my family.
That’s when I decided to dig deep into why I was so connected to sugar. And, dove into the behaviour change scientific literature to learn how to break my bad habits and create new ones.
Now I no longer overeat sugar. I can choose to eat it on occasion (e.g. cake on my birthday) but I no longer crave it. I control sugar - sugar doesn't control me.
You can experience this success too!
Imagine...
You’re in control because you make intentional, mindful food choices. You choose to have a piece of cake on your birthday (and other meaningful foods on important days) and then you stop after enjoying one piece.
Your guilt is gone because you’re happy with your intentional choices. You’re eating the way you want to eat.
You’ve got consistent, steady energy because you have no more post-sugar energy slumps. You’re off the sugar roller coaster.
You’re confident because you’ve got the tools to keep sugar cravings away long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a group program?
No. It’s a private, self-study, mini-program accessed via our website.
Do I get a meal plan?
You won’t receive a meal plan telling you to eat recipe #1 for breakfast, recipe #2 for lunch etc. I prefer to empower you to take action in your life. Not make you reliant forever on us and our meal plans (or, expecting you to eat the same 4-week meal plan for the rest of your life). We do have recipes if you’re seeking inspiration.
Will you make me eat foods that I hate?
Of course not. But you may be inspired to try new foods.
Is this a low-carb/ keto diet?
We’re reducing your cravings for added sugars, such as table sugar (white sugar), glucose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, and maple syrup. We’ll be talking about how protein, fat, and carbohydrates contribute to satiety and cravings. But this isn’t a diet. If you’re interested in eating low-carb or keto, using this mini-program to get control over your sugar cravings can help you be successful if you choose to adopt a low-carb/keto lifestyle.
Will you be recommending/addressing artificial sugars?
This isn’t about simply swapping artificial sugars, such as stevia and aspartame, for added sugar. Because that doesn’t address your cravings. We’re going to prevent and reduce your cravings so you aren’t looking for artificial means to satisfy them.
Do I get time with you (or another dietitian)?
This is a self-study mini-program where I share my almost 30-years of nutrition experience with you using online video lessons and accompanying worksheets so you can apply the actions in your life.
We offer separate one-to-one, private, nutrition counselling services by our expert team of registered dietitians for people living in British Columbia, Canada.
If you live outside of BC, Canada, look for a registered dietitian in your area.
Does my health plan cover the cost?
Likely not, but each plan is different. This is a self-study, online course which doesn’t qualify for most plans. To find out if your plan covers it, please contact your plan’s customer service number/site. Many extended health benefits plans include coverage for separate, one-to-one, private, nutrition counselling by registered dietitians.
