Cravings & Stress Eating:

The 2 Keys to Breaking Free

Written by Olga Aura for Coast Views Magazine

The problem with cravings and stress eating is that we are starving. Yes, starving for deep nourishment that food alone can never provide. But we keep eating. Unsupportive relationships – we eat, bank account is unstable- we eat, not doing the work we love – we eat. How can we break free and feel happy in our bodies?

Here is a recent consultation with a student in my 21 Day Cleanse, a petite woman in her early forties who I will call Debbie.

Olga: Recall a most recent craving, what substance did you crave?

Debbie: It was fried chicken with French fries, and a chocolate milkshake.

O: What was the feeling that propelled the craving?

D: I was home alone. And I was feeling anxious and lonely.

O: Where do you feel this anxiety and loneliness in your body?

D: In my solar plexus.

O: Breathe into the solar plexus and ask: “What am I disconnected from and replacing with chocolate milkshake and chicken?”

D: It’s intimacy. I have been avoiding intimacy (sobbing).

O: So what is it that you really want, that which will replace the food?

D: I want connection, trust, and love.

Can you relate to this story? Haven’t you been struggling long enough? You might have been asking for a magic key or a portal to transport you into a new vibrant body, a new life.

Key #1 – The food is the portal.

Like Alice in Wonderland who falls through the Rabbit Hole, you fall deep into the golden core of yourself. As you fall you surrender “The Story” you have written about yourself “I am fat, unlovable, a Virgo, an addict, a wife, a banker, my father left me when I was five.” STORYYYY. What you are breaking free from is the story of shame. Overeating is just a symptom of your insatiable hunger to spread your wings and fly like an eagle.

As you are brushing your feathers, ready to fly, let’s be clear, cravings and stress-eating is not just in your head.

Key #2 – It’s in your gut too.

And it’s called Candida. Many people think they have a willpower problem when it comes to cravings, especially sweets. You do NOT have a willpower problem. You have an overgrowth of yeast bacteria in your colon. These are living microorganisms that eat sugar to reproduce. The more sugar (bread, pasta, alcohol, cookies) you eat, the bigger the colonies of yeast grow, the more sugar they demand to sustain themselves. It’s a vicious cycle. How to break free? Cleanse the yeast and restore the good bacterial in your gut.

The Holiday season is coming. But don’t worry, even if you slip a lot you can still be clean, lean and radiant.

Olga’s Antidote to a Sugar Binge

Better than Soda

1 glass purified water

1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

1 pinch Stevia

Mix together and enjoy first thing in the morning. The apple cider vinegar is a natural pro-biotic; it supplies good bacteria for better digestion and weight loss.

Avocado-Kraut-on-the-Go

1 avocado

½ cup raw Sauerkraut

Halve the avocado, take the pit out, and fill the opening from the pit with Sauerkraut. You’ll be delighted with the salty creamy texture. Raw cultured foods convert sugar into useful acids and aid digestion.

The problem:

Soda is liquid candy.  It’s very hard on your body.
The insane amount of sugar in soda, lemonade, Gatorade, etc. is what’s causing us headaches, depression, low sex-drive, digestive problems, painful menstruation, and mood swings.

The solution:

Stevia Soda – make your own in 3 seconds.
Not only will this delicious drink satisfy your sweet tooth,
it will also minimize your sugar cravings all together.

Stevia Soda

1 glass  Cold water (bubbly is o.k.)
1 Tbs     Apple Cider Vinegar
1 pinch (or dropper if liquid)   Stevia

Mix together. Drink with a smile on your face. BREATHE.  Goodby sugar.  Hello balanced energy!

The Secret:
Use Stevia instead of sugar to satisfy the sweets craving without the ”crash” feeling afterwards.

Apple Cider Vinegar is a #1 Natural Probiotic food that will replenish your GOOD bacteria and thus keep in balance the bad bacteria (aka yeast, Candida).  Yeast cells eat sugar to survive, they are the ones driving you mad with sugar cravings.

With love,

Olga

Mother Nature beckons us into the sun and we go skipping down the beach, gliding on the shimmering surfboard, sitting quietly on a high rock. Being in nature is almost timeless, magical — and then we get hungry. Picnics allow for a long day out of the house without spending extra cash on fast food. It’s all about preparing ahead while keeping it easy, healthy and quick. As you pack your picnic basket think about balancing these three food classes:

- Chlorophyll: green leafy vegetables such as lettuce, celery, parsley, kale and sprouts.

- Fats: avocados, olives, nuts, seeds, coconuts, unheated olive and seed oils.

- Sweet fruits: apples, peaches, pears, grapes and watermelon with seeds.

Notice that animal flesh and dairy products are not recommended because of their dense, slow-metabolizing quality; they also decay quickly in the sun. Instead, highly nutritious organic plant-based food is encouraged.

Chlorophyll, also known as “liquid sunshine,” is the blood of plants; it keeps the entire planet alive and well, and it will revitalize you, too. The plants absorb and organize the sunlight; eating plant food transfers the vital sun energy directly to you, undiminished. Green leafy vegetables are overall the best source of iron and heal anemia; they alkalize your blood and boost immunity, while detoxifying the liver of heavy metals and pollution.

Get the summer glow — eat unheated plant fats for beauty. Raw plant fats optimize your brain function, lubricate your joints, make your skin and hair shine, and allow for a longer-lasting high energy level. Yes, you want them! The craze against fats applies mostly to cooked fats. When oil is heated it breaks down into a carcinogenic molecular structure that cannot be absorbed by the body, leading to weight gain. In contrast, eating avocados, olives, and fresh coconut flesh can help a person lose weight because these fats contain lipase enzymes, which allow body fat to be burned.

Sweet fruit is a summertime favorite; it is the optimal fuel for our sparkly brains and cognition. Choose fruits with seeds. Seedless fruits such as bananas, grapes, oranges and watermelon are bred for certain genetics and thus are hybrid foods that confuse the body’s metabolic process. It’s important to eat this quickly-digestible fruit alone or before the denser slowly-digestible foods such as nuts, breads, and animal products to avoid gas, bloating and constipation.
