How to Reduce Sugar Cravings.
Let’s be honest, sugar cravings can feel overwhelming, especially after a long day or when your energy dips. Your body simply needs a quick top-up for energy, and you can’t resist that. But, as a naturopath and nutritionist, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way.
The good news is that you can take control of those cravings without relying on willpower alone. Let’s break it down into a few simple tips you can start today:
1. Start Your Day with Protein
Ever notice that when you start your day with something sweet, the cravings keep coming? That’s because sugar spikes your blood sugar, which leads to crashes and more cravings! A protein-packed breakfast will keep you full and steady.
2. Stay Hydrated
Sometimes, your body’s cry for water can feel like a need for sugar. Sounds strange but often dehydration is mistaken for hunger or cravings. Keep a water bottle handy, and sip throughout the day to stay ahead of the curve.
3. Don’t Skip Meals
When you go too long without eating, your blood sugar levels can drop, and your body wants a quick fix—often a sugar. Eating regular, balanced meals with more protein and healthy fats keeps your energy stable and reduces your cravings. Eating nutrient-dense meals helps restore your body’s nutrient levels, which can prevent cravings by making sure your body doesn’t feel depleted.
4. Use Cinnamon
Cinnamon helps to stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your smoothies, porridge, shakes, or other meals for a sweet, warming flavour or enjoy cinnamon tea after dinner to help prevent evening sugar cravings and promote digestion.
5. Clean Up Your Surroundings
Out of sight, out of mind! If your pantry is stocked with sugary treats, it’s going to be hard to say no when those cravings hit. Stock your kitchen with nourishing snacks like nuts, fruit, or homemade energy balls.
