Cinnamon had helped me with sugar cravings.

Also, The Daniel's Plan was the tool I used to quit sugar. You can order it from Barnes and Noble and from The Daniel's Plan website. I also ordered the study guide. I am a spiritual person so this help bring focus to my goal to quit sugar. Good luck!!

There's no way to get off of sugar without pain...just like quitting smoking or any other addiction, but my favorite panacea was organic plain Greek yogurt, to which I added raw honey and a touch of peanut butter. What worked best for me was to plan my entire day's menu in advance and then just refer to it when I got hungry...it spared me from "resisting" bad choices, since the choices were made that morning. After we week or so, you'll find you don't even crave it (or salt) anymore. It's a terrible cycle...sugar, salt, fat, sugar, salt, fat...

What’s worked for me is to find clean substitutions! So if I eat oatmeal, now I mash up half a banana to go in it instead of brown sugar, or I make baked goods that have no sugar in them and instead substitute fruit for the sweetness. Dried fruit is another great substitution for a sugary snack. Obviously these foods still contain sugar, but to me, they’re not addictive like white sugar - or even brown or Demerara sugar, honey, or agave - are for me.

Flat-out removing undesirable foods from your home is another solution. Obviously if you live with people who eat the foods you want to cut you have to come up with solutions. Packing it away in an usual place can keep you mindful of what you’re going to put in your body. I keep chocolate bars in a tub on an awkward shelf, so if I want chocolate, I have to go there to get them - grabbing a few dried apricots out of the bag in the cupboard seems so easy by comparison!

What has seemed to work well for me is clean eating substitutions, and tea! green tea, chai tea, tazo has a very yummy vanilla caramel chai tea, i LOVE it! I also love apples sprinkled with cinnamon, and then microwaved for a little bit, sooo good!

I add a cinnamon stick to all my bottles of water. That helps me a lot.

If I want something sweet and night and don't want to reach for a normal dessert, I eat half a banana, and 1 tbsp of peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread. Sweet and filling.

Do you use supplements, there is an amino acid that help block and regulate cravings for sugar it's L- Glutamate or L-glutamime I learned it from Susan Powders first book, it actually helped stomp out the sugar from alcohol cravings, I too am having a hard time with sugar, I stopped all the process, but I think I'm eating too much fruit. I have the book some where but you can google it, I just can't remember witch one.

Hope this helps..

Cold turkey......not literal cold turkey...but just stop.....I eat lots of nuts and drink water....you feel a craving coming on..drink an entire bottle of water...or if you feel hungry shortly after a small meal.....one thing that also works to decrease how much you eat is to drink a bottle of water right before each meal.........it works...water water water.....

Thanks everyone for sharing all those ideas. I'm okay on sugar right now because I count all my calories and plan my food in advance but sugar (all forms) has always been my downfall and weakness. It's a good thing I like raw veggies as I am good about drinking tons of water. I'm going to try the cinnamon apple idea, the teas, and the cinnamon stick in water. Those might add some good variety to these days of watching all the calories.
