Sugar Cravings?
Eat sour and fermented foods!
This is the trick of the trade. When you crave the sugar taste, hit it with its opposite. Eat sour, fermented foods and beverages like sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and apple cider vinegar. These foods give you a blast of probiotics, enzymes, and nutrients to cut sugar cravings. Look for them at your local health food store or make your own at home!

Stay Hydrated!
Sugar cravings often arise because of dehydration. When you feel a craving, first drink a few glasses of water. A good health habit is to start your day by drinking water and having a smoothie for breakfast. This practice will hydrate your system, give your body easily digestible nutrients, and set you up for healthy eating for the rest of the day. Look to incorporate at least half your body weight in ounces of water into your daily regime.

Eat enough low-sugar/carb, whole foods daily. When
we don’t eat enough low-sugar, whole foods during the day, our body naturally
craves calories. Guess which type of food our body knows has calories? Sweet
foods. Remember that late afternoon cookie binge? How about snacking on junk
food when you get home from a hard day’s work? Eating sufficient amounts of
low-sugar/carb whole foods is the simplest and fastest way to reduce cravings. When
you’re craving sugar check-in with yourself to make sure you’ve eaten enough
during the day. Did you skip breakfast? Only have a small salad for lunch? Eat whole foods
like grass-fed meats, wild fish, vegetables and greens, non-gluten grains like
quinoa and millet, and good fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, extra-virgin olive oil, and coconut. Adding sufficient
amounts of these whole foods into your daily regime will dramatically cut your
cravings for sugar!!
Simple trick: Have a green smoothie as soon as you get
home from work to curb cravings for junk food.
