  • For me, the best way to deal with sugar cravings is to maintain stable blood sugar levels and get out of the spiking and crashing pattern. So I don't think the answer is fruit juice, it's probably more about being aware of hunger levels and eating enough protein, vegetables and healthy fats.

  • I think no to juicing! I'm all for drinking water and eating fruit. Fruit sugar is released slowly because of the fiber in the fruit if the fruit is eaten whole but when it is juiced the fiber is taken away and blood sugar spikes.. and for me blood sugar spikes lead to crashes and sugar cravings,

  • The only way I can try and stop carb binging is by eating when I'm hungry and not letting it get so bad that I eat loads of sugar! Even if it puts me over my calories I would rather stop and eat a handful of nuts or some houmous and veg or both and be 200 or 400 cals over on relatively healthy food than getting too hungry…

  • I'm not sure about 10% but once I lost a little bit of weight my cycle came back again regularly after being irregular for the past few years.
