How Counter Cravings Can Help You Reduce Sugar Cravings
In addition to a balanced diet, taking a supplement like Counter Cravings can help reduce cravings and support healthy weight management.
How it Works
Counter Cravings works by targeting some of the main reasons why we struggle with cravings, especially during the holiday season.
- Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels already within normal levels.
An imbalance of blood sugar levels is one of the main reasons for sugar cravings. Blood sugar levels can easily become disrupted when too much glucose enters the bloodstream. This typically happens when too many carbs and not enough protein are consumed. During the holidays, this is much more likely to happen, especially with so many baked goods around. (Learn more about the science behind how blood sugar affects food cravings.) - Helps naturally increase relaxation.
Stress (to no one’s surprise) is another reason for sugar cravings. Feeling stressed can lead you to engage in unusual eating behavior such as eating an entire box of sugar cookies rather than simply enjoying a few. Additionally, persistent feelings of stress can increase cortisol levels which can consequently stimulate ghrelin, the hunger hormone.
If these reasons hit home for you, worry not. HUM’s Counter Cravings can help.
Ingredients
The magic of the Counter Cravings supplement to curb sugar cravings comes from the clean, clinical ingredients. Counter Cravings is made with a clinically studied dose of Chromax® chromium. This patented ingredient has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce cravings by helping to keep blood sugar levels in check**. As an added perk, Chromax® chromium (or chromium picolinate), is a bioavailable form of chromium that is absorbed up to 15x better than other forms of chromium.
Additionally, we included l-theanine, an amino acid derived from green tea leaves. L-theanine is an essential part of Counter Cravings because it helps increase relaxation and boost mood. This is especially helpful for those of us who deal with stress-related cravings.
Lastly, a few ingredients found in Counter Cravings don’t directly impact cravings but can help support a healthy body weight and BMI such as a plant called forskolin and a seaweed extract called fucoxanthin.
When to Take HUM’s Counter Cravings
Integrating Counter Cravings into your routine is relatively easy to do. For best results, we recommend taking 1 capsule, twice a day, with your two main meals. Here are a few examples of what that can look like:
