My story of how I went from being a carbaholic to effortlessly living a sugar-free lifestyle (no refined sugars, flour, alcohol) for 4+ years.
Here's how I did it in 3 steps (and how you can do it too).
Sugar & carbs don't have to be your downfall
Hi, My name is Charmaine.
I was diagnosed with prediabetes in 2017... EVEN THOUGH I was a Registered Nurse, Certified Personal Trainer, marathoner, and Spartan Race athlete.
From January 2018 to July 2018, I did the ketogenic diet and changed my eating habits... but started feeling restricted and like I wanted to give up.
That's when I knew that my eating habits was about more than just what food I was putting in my mouth.
I did my research, got a life coaching and health coaching certification, and learned something that changed my life forever...
My desire to eat sugar and carbs was not just physiological, but psychological as well.
My desire to eat sugar and carbs was not just physiological, but psychological as well.
It's not you... It's your brain.
After taking a close look at my eating habits, I realized I was often eating sugar and carbs to feel better at the end of my long 12-16 hour shifts as a nurse.
I was using food for comfort, not fuel.
After doing more research, I realized that the brain seeks out sugar (even if you're not hungry) because it wants to feel pleasure now, and avoid pain as a survival mechanism.
In order for me to override the brain's natural instinct to seek out pleasure, I had to learn 3 important things:
- What food to eat to help me not crave sugar
- How to not act on my impulses to eat sugar and carbs
- How to change my mindset around food and NOT seek it for comfort
Learning these 3 things helped me sustainably stop eating sugar and flour since 2018, stop drinking alcohol since 2018, and stop drinking coffee since 2020.
In fact, I became so comfortable at eating sugar-free that I decided to start an entire business around this and left my nursing job to do so!
Now, I use what I've learned about overcoming sugar and carb cravings to help ambitious women entrepreneurs start feeling in control around sugar and carbs so they can lose weight permanently.
Learning this skill alone has helped me have endless energy, wake up consistently at 5am, and stay productive in my business... and I want to help you do the same.

Imagine what it's like to...
- Enjoy sugary foods without over-indulging and gaining unwanted weight. No more feeling out of control around chocolate and ice cream!
- Have MORE mental clarity and focus for you so you can finish everything on your to-do list.
- Have more energy than you know what to do with.
- Have unshakeable confidence in yourself, knowing that you can EFFORTLESSLY say "No" to foods that used to feel tempting to you.
- Be in integrity with what you preach to your clients, and stop feeling like an imposter or fraud.
