Coping with Sugar Cravings

Sugar Cravings are a massive challenge for women but there is no reason you can’t have something sweet if you crave it so long as you can follow the guidelines below.

For some women giving in to sugar opens the floodgates and they can’t stop so if you are that person it is best to go cold turkey and avoid sugar all together and within 2-3 weeks you won’t have those cravings anymore.

In this case when the sugar cravings hit go and brush your teeth to interrupt the craving and thought processes that go with them.

If you know a small sweet treat will hit the spot then the following applies to you.

We now know that dark chocolate is high in antioxidants and therefore something you can add to your diet without guilt so long as you do this in moderation and keep within your calorie allowance for the day (if you are counting calories to lose weight).

Dried dates are also good to combat sugar cravings and are also a good form of fibre.

3 dates and 3 squares of dark chocolate will really hit the spot particularly for a night time craving attack.

Watermelon is great for curbing cravings during the day and is a nice healthy alternative PLUS it goes towards including enough fruit in your diet.
