Did you know that 90% of foods contain sugar or sweeteners? Did you know that a single bite of sugar can activate your sweet taste receptors for up to 30 minutes, making you crave sugar for equally as long? That last sentence is mind-boggling to be sure. Consider the amount of sugar you consume in that 30 minutes after that first
Whether your New Year’s Resolution is to make healthier food choices, exercise more frequently, or sleep well, sugar is at the heart of these problems. While we can’t (and shouldn’t) eliminate the presence of sugar from our foods entirely, we can significantly reduce our cravings for it, thanks to the newly launched product, Sweet Defeat.
Sweet Defeat is a mint-flavored lozenge that is clinically proven to help suppress sugar cravings within seconds. Comprised of five high quality, plant-based ingredients, Sweet Defeat’s active ingredient, gymnema, binds to sweet taste receptors on your tongue, preventing their activation and ultimately suppressing sweet taste.
“Everyone has cravings, whether you have a sweet tooth or crave salty snacks! When it comes to sugar, cravings start the second you take a bite and the sugar hits your taste buds, this immediately tells your brain about the sweet taste and triggers cravings for more. The taste of sugar makes us craving more sugar, that’s just how our brains work.” according to Sweet Defeat president, Arianne Perry.
Here are some of Perry’s tips for curbing cravings:
–Start your day with a power pair . I always start my day with a power pair, a duo of protein and healthy fat, like eggs.
The combination of protein and fat fills you up and doesn’t spike your blood sugar. The result: no mid-morning crash and less cravings throughout the day.
–Drink Water!
When a craving strikes, you may just be thirsty and mistake it for hunger. I always recommend drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning and before you start a meal. Try to hydrate throughout the day by carrying a water bottle with you.
–Don’t Deny Yourself:
When it comes to sugar, you don’t have to go “cold-turkey” but save treats for special occasions so that they remain treats. Have a single portion of something sweet like an individually wrapped chocolate or a mini cup of ice cream.
—Take a Sweet Defeat!
When you feel yourself caving into your craving or fighting not to overindulge, take a Sweet Defeat. This is a minty, plant-based lozenge that is clinically proven to help suppress sugar cravings within seconds!”

REVIEW:
I was sent a few packets of the Sweet Defeat to try. I was thrilled to try these since I have been on a bit of a sweets binge of late (for the last 7 weeks) and have been looking for something to help me cut the cravings. For some reason, I got hooked on some sweet stuff and I have not been able to stop.
Here’s my understanding of what Sweet Defeat does: it suppresses what you taste when you are eating sugary foods. I read everything I am sharing with you in this piece, and to be honest, I was skeptical. But, I was also willing to try anything to stop the sugar cravings cold. So when I had eaten something sweet ( a Girl Scout cookie and a piece of candy), I took one of these little lozenges. Guess what!??!! It worked! I wound up with having no sweet taste in my mouth. The cookie and candy taste went totally flat. It was like eating something that had no taste to it. It was like the chocolate had no flavor. It was like unsweetened cocoa powder. It didn’t taste good. It didn’t give me that yummy chocolate flavor. And it lasted long enough to make me stop eating cookies and candy.
These little lozenges are in bright blue packages that each hold one lozenge. You can take more than one– and if you do, the sweetness of anything you eat (fruit, candy, soda) will go flat. Unless you are surrounded by sweets, you don’t really need to take more than one but there are times when I would think a second one would be useful about 15-20 minutes after you have used the first lozenge.
If you are seeking to reduce your sugar consumption, this is a smart way to go about it.
Honestly- Sweet Defeat REALLY works!! It killed my cravings…. and it’s continuing to do that now.
Bio of Arianne Perry, President and Co-Founder, Sweet Defeat
A former elite athlete and Olympics trials qualifier, Arianne has put health and fitness front and center for most of her life. Seeking to improve her athletic performance as a top collegiate and marathon runner, Arianne studied and sampled a wide array of nutrition programs, as well as exercise routines, becoming a go-to resource for her friends and family when it came to their own health. This exploration led her to conclude that a low-sugar lifestyle was the most effective way to manage her energy levels and perform athletically.
Despite feeling her best, Arianne found it difficult to curb her sweet tooth. As an entrepreneur at heart, Arianne sought to target a problem she, and so many others, are plagued with – sugar cravings. She built upon her existing knowledge and started her journey as a cravings coach, and towards the launch of Sweet Defeat.
In an effort to make it easier for others to live a low-sugar lifestyle, Arianne and business partner Robert Goldstein dug even deeper into the scientific research around sugar and cravings, and created Sweet Defeat in 2017. With Rob, Arianne brought Sweet Defeat from concept to market, working on all facets of the brand – from product design to securing patents and trademarks. Comprised of five high quality plant-based ingredients, Sweet Defeat is an effective, safe, convenient remedy that helps break sugar cycles so people can make better, healthier food choices. With the launch of Sweet Defeat, she’s turned her passion for wellness into a business that empowers others to be their best selves and lead healthier lives.
