Seven Tips On Foods To Reduce Sugar Craving

DARK CHOCOLATE
Chocolate is one of the most commonly reported foods people eat when they crave sweets. If you’re craving chocolate, you can make a healthier choice by choosing dark chocolate.

BERRIES
Berries are a nutritious choice to help stop sugar cravings. They taste sweet, but their high fiber content means they’re lower in sugar and could help keep you full longer.

SNACK BARS
Not all snack bars are healthy, and some are very high in fat and sugar. However, if you’re craving a sweet treat, some low sugar options are available. Look for a snack bar made with whole foods, whole oats, and fresh or dried fruit rather than table sugar.

LENTILS
Lentils are great plant-based sources of fiber and protein. In fact, 1 cup (198 grams (g)) of boiled lentils provides 18 g of protein and 15.5 g of fiber. These nutrients may increase feelings of fullness, which could help reduce hunger-driven sugar cravings throughout the day.

DATES
Dates are the dried fruit of the date palm tree. Although they contain nearly 70% sugar, they’re highly nutritious and may help reduce sugar cravings.
