To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I’ve been consistently exercising for about 6 months and have lost 10 lbs., but I have a horrible sweet tooth, and once I start eating something sweet I crave more and more. What suggestions do you have to kick this unhealthy habit so I can lose even more weight?”
From Sara of Fit by Sara: “If you’re craving sweets it could be your body telling you that you’re low on blood sugar. Opt for a healthy “fruit sugar” snack, and combine it with a protien so you’ll keep your energy up and prevent your blood sugar from dropping even more. For example, combine a piece of low-skim motzerella cheese with a slice of apple, or a banana with peanut butter. Also, when you chose to eat “simple sugar” sweets such as cookies, candy, or chocolate, set a portion on your plate. After you’ve eaten it, have a glass of water then brush your teeth. I’ll gaurentee you that sweet craving will leave after you brush!”
