How to get passed sugar cravings?

I done it add me it's hard an you feel like you coming of drugs but cold turky is the way x

A little dark chocolate and raw plain strawberries!! We can have a little sugar in our diet each day, and if you have a little treat like that planned then it helps the cravings to go away. Don't deprive.... just upgrade....

Sugar free fudgecicles are awesome!!! Melt one in the microwave for like 10 seconds and stir in one tsp of peanut butter and its like eating a receses cup without the guilt Also try sugar free jello with sugar free cool whip- great snack when its hot out and curbs my sweet tooth instantly!!!

GOOD LUCK!

I have a blended iced cappuccino most evenings. So all day, I know I have that to look forward to. It's helped so, so much. I also allow myself something more decadent about once a week. For me, knowing I will have it later is usually enough to get me through.

If I feel I need something sweet right away, I'll have a banana or cereal. Green/white/peppermint tea can curb sugar cravings, too.

I realize I have to stop eating sugar all together

Just eat a sensible diet and hit your macros. Don't isolate some foods into categories of bad or good.

Lol prob a stupid question but what does it mean when you say hit your macros... Ugh been seeing that term being used a lot!:blushing:

Fat, carbs, protein are macronutrients. Look at your food diary to see where you're at. You can customize your macro goals in your settings.

There is no reason to give up wine all together. But it is about moderation. Also, there are "skinny" wines available, which contain less sugar. And honestly, you can not taste a real difference.

Also, for sugar cravings, I recommend getting B Total liquid supplements. When you're craving sugar, have a few drops and then drink a little water. This will help for the long term in reducing your sugar cravings. B vitamins will give you that energy boost you would have gotten from sugar, without the crash. Hope that helps!

Cravings can be caused by eating processed foods but they can also be caused by nutritional deficiencies.

I am a big junk food junkie and totally understand. I decided in March that I couldn't stand being fat and exhausted anymore.

You have to start eating regular meals that fill you up and don't have a lot of sugar. Plan what you are going to eat and have it in your kitchen for the next day. If you work or travel, plan what you are going to eat and take it with you. Plan your snacks. For breakfast I drink a Slim Fast shake, which has a small amount of sugar, then fill up on regular wholesome food.

My sugar cravings have vanished, which is like a miracle. I'm definitely a sugar addict and feel on shaky ground when I go in a restaurant, but so far my desire to have a better life has won out.

^^^^THIS^^^ Some people can eat a little bit of sugary food and be just fine (most men, for a lot of different reasons seem to fall into this category). For others, like me, and perhaps you (and you would know) find that eating any sweets at all just sets off a binge. So, like an alcoholic who wishes to be always sober, I avoid sucrose (table sugar) altogether. I, of course get some natural sugars in the foods that I eat but now that I have broken the "addiction" I am reluctant to go back to eating ANY sugary foods. I quit about three years ago, and, at first, it was tough because I WANTED those foods. I was sorely tempted when someone would put a piece of cake in front of my face at a party or something. (My relatives and friends know now that I won't accept a piece so they don't even offer anymore.) These days, after three years of "sobriety" I don't even want it anymore. I wouldn't enjoy it anyway as it would be way too sweet. What I found helpful was going on a two-week fast from fructose. That was hard because I do enjoy fruit but I felt it was necessary to bring down my level of fructokinase which is often elevated (especially in older individuals) in people who eat sugar. After the two weeks, when I resumed eating a serving or two of fruit per day, even the sour ones like grapefruit and lemons tasted quite sweet to me.

- Cold melon cubes
- Low-fat ice cream

Get yourself into Holland and Barret if in the UK and ask for chromium that reduces cravings
