My tips to overcome sugar cravings!
1. I budget for it REALISTICALLY in my MACROs. That means... If I want a brownie, I know I'll probably have 3. So I budget for what I think I'll ACTUALLY eat (3), not 1.
2.I chew gum after the sweets! It keeps my brain preoccupied from saying "MORE, MORE. MORE, MORE..."
3. OR I avoid it completely so that I don't have to fight the urges of wanting more than one.
4. I drink lots of water AFTER I eat the sweets.
5. I use sugar free items: sugar free jello, stevia, sugar free syrup.... it helps me have a low caloric intake while STILL having the sweet taste.
6. I try to avoid artificial sugar throughout the day (as long as I'm not craving it) because even the smallest amounts can leave the sugary taste lingering in my mouth making me want MORE.
Try these out and see if it helps you reduce your daily sugar intake!
