If you want to know how to control your sugar cravings follow these simple steps!

Steps

  1. Eliminate all carbohydrates for at least 2 weeks.
  2. Eat three meals each day, along with snacks (like eggs, nuts, cheese, peanut butter on a whole grain cracker, etc). Cravings for sweets can be caused by too little protein in your diet.
  3. Control your portion size. After the first few weeks you will find that you are satisfied with less food.
  4. Drink lots of water. Keep water at your desk or on hand during the day and in the evening.
  5. Supplements are often helpful in controlling your cravings. Be aware that it can take up to three days for the supplements to begin to work. Give it time.
  6. Brush your teeth when the temptation for sweets creeps in.

Tips

  • Green tea has been shown to be helpful in stabilizing blood sugar.
  • Make yourself move. Even moderate exercise can help to control your appetite.
  • Substitute sugary snacks for healthier ones that taste just as good, pretty soon you will be craving those healthy foods instead of the sugary ones!
  • Stay determined and don't give up even if you splurge and get something sugary, just calmly bring yourself back to the main goal and try again.
  • Never eat in the dark. People tend to eat more in dim lighting.
  • When drinking juice, choose lower glycemic juices like apple juice and pear nectar, and dilute them with water. A serving of juice is very small, four ounces. An eight-ounce glass of juice is too much.

Warnings

  • Caffeine can create problems with blood sugar. It can create a desire to overeat later.
  • Never drink soft drinks.
