5. Complex Carbs
Of course, the number one reason we crave carbs is that our blood sugar is low, and our bodies want us to replenish it. Thus, we turn to simple carbs like chocolate and cake for a quick fix and to boost our energy levels. The solution? To make sure you aren’t trying to eliminate carbs from your diet, but rather thing about the kind of carbs you are eating and thus manage your sugar levels better.
For instance then, one way to stop yourself having cravings is to eat a healthy breakfast of complex carbs which will release sugar more steadily throughout the day. Do this and you will have a more constant supply of blood sugar so that you don’t get the urge to get an instant hit. This way you’re still getting sugar, but you’re replacing the need to add spoonfulls to everything you eat!
