Fighting the Sweet Tooth

They found people who eat little or no added sugar had little or no tooth decay.  For sugar to have the ability to rot a tooth is remarkable considering how strong calcium is.  The question I get all of time when I bash sugar is “how do I curb my sweet tooth?”  Will power is not the answer that anyone wants to hear.  What people really want to know is a way for the desire of sugar to dissipate.  After months of research we have compiled our CF4L 10 best ways to fight you wanting sweets all day every day.

  1. Increase your protein intake- Often our bodies will exhibit cravings for sweets when what they really need is more protein. (seafood, lean white meat, beans, etc..)
  2. Eat a breakfast with no sugar- For example brown rice, lean protein or blanched vegetables first thing in the morning.  Eating sugar in the morning makes you crave more sugar throughout the day.
  3. Grab some gum– If you want to avoid giving in to a sugar craving completely, try chewing a stick of gum.
