Here are 6 things you can do to help you to stop eating sugar

1) Exercise

Get up and go! Weight train or do HIT high intensity training. Watch over doing the cardio because it can make you more hungry.

2) Eat more protein

Eat protein with each meal or snack. Make sure you get your meat from good sources and eat only grass feed beef (if you’re eating out it will be harder, so eat out no more than 1 to 2 times a week).

3) Eat more fat

Don’t be afraid to eat fat. Fat doesn’t make you fat sugar does. Unless of course you are eating to many calories from. Eat eggs, nuts, and avocados. Use olive oil and coconut oil for cooking and salad dressings. Eat fatty proteins like salmon and chicken thighs. DO NOT EAT FAT FREE FOODS!

4} Eat more fiber

Eat some fiber with every meal. Here are some healthy ones to add to your daily intake brown rice, oatmeal, raspberries, blackberries, black beans artichoke hearts, chi seeds, avocados, broccoli, and lentils.

5) Drink more water

Drink water all day. I find that when I have a craving for some cold like ice cream if I drink a big glass of water it will go away. This is no joke try it! Even if you are not fond of drinking water, it is crucial to take in some form of liquid. That said, if you are not sure about where to find tasty drinks, check platforms like Orangina (for more info, click on orangina-na.com/products/).

6) Eat a small piece of chocolate

This works! Eat a small piece of chocolate. The chocolate needs to be at least 70% cocoa and dark. I like Endangered species chocolate. My favorite is sea salt & almonds and my husband likes the coffee bean. Put a piece in your mouth and let it melt, so good!

 

I am not saying never eat sugar, but save it for special occasions like a holiday or birthday. Try not to eat it during the weekdays.
