How to manage sugar cravings
Sugar cravings are often part of a vicious circle. What we need to do to solve the problem of getting over sugar cravings is to put a stop to the cravings as they occur. Do you recognise this scenario? : You had lunch a couple of hours ago and have been busy all day. Suddenly you feel tired and need a cuppa and feel that you could kill for something sweet. You put the kettle on and get out the biscuits and demolish half a pack of whatever is available. Then you feel guilty and hide the evidence.The craving is sated and you go back to work but an hour later you have that craving again... If you have been there and know that feeling then you have been in the sugar craving cycle that doesn't seem to end but it can. Here is how : When you get the first pangs of a sugar craving you need to do something about it.
1/ DO NOT IGNORE IT
2/ REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE HAVING THIS CRAVING BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS TIRED YOU NEED TO SOLVE THIS BY EATING CARBOHYDRATES ( sweets and candy are carbohydrates but they are 'simple Carbohydrates' .. you need to avoid these and instead eat 'Complex carbs )
3/ CHOOSE SOME COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES TO REGULATE YOUR BLOOD SUGARS AND CALM THE CRAVINGS OK now I have the solution for you and I have shared this with so many people over the years and it always has brought great results and many thanks. IT WORKS EVERY TIME - Here is what to do : EAT SOMETHING FROM THIS LIST - THEN (VERY IMPORTANT)DRINK SOME WATER AND WAIT TEN MINUTES - THE CRAVING WILL BE GONE. LIST OF FOODS TO TRY INSTEAD OF SWEETS 1/ two small/medium eating apples
2/ a handful of breakfast cereal or breakfast cereal in a bowl with a little skimmed milk
3/ some baked beans (preferably low sugar) on a slice of wholemeal toast
4/ one pear and one apple or orange
5/ some rice or pasta (pasta or rice salads straight from the refrigerator are good)
6/ a bowl of tinned pears with a teaspoon of honey
7/ baked,boiled or dry roasted potatoes or some made up mashed potatoes
8/ a bowl of low fat rice pudding
10/ canned pasta in tomato sauce (preferably low sugar) or any combination of the above - If you are dieting you may need to fit these items into your diet but it is worth it as you will steady your blood sugar levels and prevent a major upset by over-eating simple carbs like biscuits,cakes,chocolate,etc
