6 Ways to cut down on sugar cravings
1 Drink a glass of water
Dehydration can cause cravings and low energy levels. It is often confused as hunger.
2 Eat more protein
Lean protein is great for satiety as it fills you up on healthy alternatives to sugars.
3 Choose an alternative to processed sugar
Skip the pastries, cookies, and cake. Eat a piece of whole fruit, drizzle raw honey on Greek yogurt, or choose a small piece of dark chocolate.
4 Eat sugar in moderation
Shrink your portion size. Smaller amounts can satisfy your craving without needing to eat larger portions. Try a half of a brownie or a small bite of cake instead of a full portion.
5 Assess your reason for craving
Are you stressed? Did you get enough sleep? Stress hormones increase your desire to eat and decrease your ability to say “no.”
