#1-Plan, plan and plan. Eat what you intend to eat instead of eating when you're desperate to eat.
#2-Know what you're eating. Learn how to read and understand food labels.
#3-Get support. Many people turn to sweet foods when they're stressed, depressed, or angry. Food doesn't solve emotional issues. Consider whether emotions are involved in your sugar cravings and whether you need help to find other solutions to those emotional problems.
#4-Mix it up. You may need more than one strategy to detour sugar cravings. One week you may find success with one tactic, and another week calls for an alternative approach. For lack of a better phrase, “have a ‘bag of tricks’ to try”. Figure out what works for you.
#5-Go easy on yourself. It may take time to get a handle on your sugar cravings. It’s difficult to shift into a new lifestyle.
#6-Reward yourself . I reward myself once a week with a special "cheat meal".
As I read over the above ways to control sugar cravings, I realize that I can help you. As a personal trainer and nutritional specialist, and most importantly, a female...I understand what going through the sugar cravings feels like. I know how emotional I can be and eating sugars tastes so yummy at the time and then regret my action afterwards. Let me help you control sugar cravings, I'd love to help.
