You don’t need to swear off sugar to survive the holidays. You just need to understand how it actually works in your body so you can enjoy it without letting it hijack your progress.
Here are the five real truths about sugar right now:

Truth #1: Sugar isn’t the enemy. Too much of it is.
A little sugar lights up the same reward centers as music or a hug - that’s normal and okay. Too much sugar → rapid blood-sugar spike → crash → stronger cravings → overeating later. The goal isn’t zero sugar. The goal is awareness so you stop the rollercoaster.

Truth #2: Constant cravings aren’t weakness - they’re feedback.
If you’re thinking about cookies all afternoon, your body is probably telling you something:
-
Your last meal was light on protein or fiber
-
You’re dehydrated
-
You’re stressed or underslept
-
Fix the root (add protein, drink water, take a breath) and watch the craving lose its power.
Truth #3: Holiday treats are meant to be enjoyed, not moralized.
One gingerbread man doesn’t ruin anything. A week of “I already blew it” eating after that one cookie does. Eat the treat, savor it, move on. Consistency beats perfection every single time.

Truth #4: Sneaky sugars are hiding in “festive” foods you don’t suspect.
That “light” cranberry sauce? Often 15–20 g sugar per ¼ cup. Spiced lattes, glazed hams, even some dinner rolls can quietly load you up. Quick fix: glance at labels when you can. A little knowledge saves a lot of surprise calories.
Bottom line this Season
Enjoy the sweets that matter. Skip or shrink the ones that don’t. Support your body with protein, water, and smart timing.
