Is your sweet tooth out of control? Sometimes it seems impossible to resist a craving for sugar. While sugar provides our bodies with energy we need, it can easily be misused. Too much sugar can lead to serious damage including weight gain, diabetes and heart disease.
Here are some tips to keep your cravings under control: 
Have a good breakfast: Whole grain cereal with nuts,
an omelet (preferably egg white) with vegetables or
fruits, or a meal replacement drink are good choices
Eat natural sugars: Fruits, vegetables and whole grains
are packed with natural sugars
Don’t skip meals: Skipping meals increases sugar
cravings; eat regular meals and fill up on whole
foods such as vegetables
Try healthy meal replacements: Healthy meal
replacements are quick and easy
Experiment with healthy sweet treats: Enjoy small
amounts of organic dark chocolate (with at
least 60 percent cocoa) and dried fruits instead
of ice cream and cookies
Ditch the soda: Drink naturally flavored
carbonated water and green or herbal teas
Eat super foods: These
nutrient-dense foods –
such as blueberries,
walnuts, salmon and
broccoli – will fill you up
and not let you down;
nothing beats
cravings better than a
well-balanced diet |
