If you have a constant craving for sugar. Here's what you can do to kick the habit.
The best way to kick the sugar habit is to switch sweets:
- Instead of drinking soft drinks, drink water with a slice of lemon
- Eat a whole orange first thing every morning to help curb your sugar appetite.
- Eat whole fruit. While fruit contains fructose, it is better than processed sugar.
- Chew sugarless gum. Just like with cigarettes, sometimes it is enough to just have something in your mouth.
- Pour fruit juice in a pitcher and dilute it with water.
- Be careful of dried fruit. Dried fruit has concentrated fructose. However, raisins are a good, healthy dried fruit alternative to sugar.
- Take a good multi-vitamin. There is some research to indicate that a sugar craving, especially a chocolate craving, is due to a niacin or magnesium deficiency.
- Eat a balanced diet of fats, proteins and carbohydrates with every meal. That is the key with every meal.
