I don't think I would ever compare an addiction to drugs to my need for sugar; I know my boundaries and sugar doesn't control my life...but I wouldn't peg this as "liking sweets". I don't really even like them, obviously they taste good, but I hate how they make me feel and the need to always need more if I have a small…

Okay obviously there is a big difference between addiction to drugs, and the physiological craving for sugar. I never meant to compare the two. From my own experience once I eat something sugary (like a mini piece of candy for example) I tend to crave more of it. You can call it addiction, you can call it overindulgence,…

What kinds of foods do you eat to keep your fiber up?

I'm not wanting to cut sugar out of my diet completely, I don't think I said that in this. I'm just trying to figure out how to curb my sugar cravings in general. I'll expand a little bit; I usually stay within the range of calories given to me my MFP, but my sugar intake is often 30+ grams over the suggested amount. Even…

The reason I've changed what I've said is because you seem to be displeased with every way that I try to explain my situation to you.

Banana idea is great! Is that normally what you have for dessert?

You do realize that you haven't quite given me any advice, all you've proven to me is that humans can't have a sugar addition?

Okay the real issue here is that I have a CONSISTENT URGE TO EAT SUGAR EVERYDAY. This is the question I asked in the beginning, I do not want to argue over the fact if sugar is addicting or not, I am simply asking what I can do to lessen the cravings. Simply that. no debate. just want to know what I should change.

Can we just end this

in How do you cut your craving for sugar?? Comment by lgramberg15 February 2015
This is exactly my problem. I preferably would like to eat good, healthy foods throughout the day, and do great in the first part of the day, but when I have 50 or so calories left I end up eating sugary foods that put me over. I'm glad someone understands this, thank you for the advice.

Refer to my post about rewording what I said...I would rather eat 1500 calories in fruits and vegetables than waste 300 on sugary things....

It wasn't a fact about honesty or being mean, I just don't like being treated as if someone is better than me..same as most people. Maybe I should have worded my post better, I'm not going on crazy binges of sugar. And I'm not craving it every single moment of the day. I feel like at the end of the day wanting pieces of…

Protein, good fats, and complex carbs right?

in How do you cut your craving for sugar?? Comment by lgramberg15 February 2015
Haha no, when I asked for advice I wanted things that would help me, not condescending remarks about my appearance and intelligence. Thanks for your input, have a good day :)

in How do you cut your craving for sugar?? Comment by lgramberg15 February 2015
Not what I meant, I'm saying that instead of eating healthy fats and vegetables in my calorie intake, eating sugar lessens the amount of food I can eat in the day. I would rather eat 1500 calories in vegetables and fruit than waste 300 on sugary food. Catch my drift now?

in How do you cut your craving for sugar?? Comment by lgramberg15 February 2015
For breakfast I usually have grapefruit and toast with peanut butter or oatmeal, lunch and dinner is usually grilled chicken, vegetables, and salad. It's only dessert that I go downhill and end up eating cake or cheesecake

Obviously I know that it's down to calorie intake, I'm not stupid.. Sugar has more calories than other types of food I.e. If I eat it im consuming more calories....

Actually there's been studies suggesting that sugar releases dopamine in the brain, and that when you have too much of it, you have a need for the dopamine release more often
