Drealicious

Hey, So i am a complete sugar addict: Always ahve been. I was doing great for a while, keeping my calories under my goal, and eating healthy. All of a sudden, my sugar cravings are back! If i know there are cookies downstairs, i will not be able to focus on anything else unitl i get one, ...or two lol. What can i do to stop this?? It is making me go way over my calorie goal, and i know it is unhealthy

I'm in the same boat. Try to work a teaspoon of cinnamon in your day, it's supposed to help level your blood sugar. I also went to a vitamin shop and they pointed me toward chromax chromium. I feel like it helps reduce my cravings.

Hello! I struggle with the same thing, I have found one thing that helps most of the time is to have a cup of mint green tea with sweetener in it. I use Sweet Leaf Chocolate flavored Liquid Stevia sweetener in it, but any would probably be good. I hope it helps.

I know this is one of those 'easier said than done' things but when grocery shopping, don't buy any bad desserts! That is the only way I can deal with my need for sugar. There are some good healthy choice desserts that are better and more limiting choices than a bag of cookies. If you don't have anything in the house that you know will make you cheat, then you can't cheat.

the book - The Sweet Poison Quit Plan really helped me! My friend lent it to me about a month ago and I havent touched sugar since! It has great alternatives and facts that will make you cringe at the thought of touching another chocolate bar!!

throw away the cookies! (they are going to go to waist or to waste either way!)

Don't keep anything in the house. If someone wants sweets, they have to run to the store themselves to get it. When I was having a lot of trouble with one item, the rule was I had to walk to the store to get it. The store is 1 mile away from my house. Sometimes I would walk there and then not even want it. Exercising helps control cravings a lot of time. So does drinking a liter of water before eating whatever it is you want. Raw food desserts really helped me because I get all of the sweetness I want without any of the sugar (or flour, milk, or anything else).

I am to, I have struggled alot with this issue. When It gets real bad I do plan ahead. Like today, I just love ben & jerrys cherry garcia ice cream. Instead of getting the ice cream I found cherry garcia frozen yogurt. It had 200 cal per 1/2 cup and 3 grams of fat. It totally kicked my craving. But I planned for it. The key is to plan ahead, atleast it is for me. Good Luck to you on your journey.

Raisins.... About 1 oz has only 17g of sugar. Go slowly and you will kill you urge. Above all, these are fruit sugars (natural) so you can less worry about them.
