How about drinking some hot green tea with just a tiny bit of honey to sweeten it. The touch of honey will satisfy your sweet tooth and the tea will fill up your stomach.
This is going to sound a little weird but....my mother always told me to drink a little pickle juice from the jar. Yes, I tried it and it works for me. I don't know how but it gets rid of the urge for something sweet.
I think everyone is a bit different on this, but -- fruit, and lots of it! This has been a constant struggle for me...I'm pregnant now, and just like the last pregnancy I'm constantly wanting something sweet. For the last pregnancy, I allowed myself larger-than-healthy portions of pudding and candy, but this time I'm trying to stick with URL1 may take a half-dozen pieces a day to calm the craving, but slowly my sweet tooth is tuning in to it and is more readily satiated by various fruits.
When I need a major sweet kick, pineapples or berries seem to work very nicely -- for the rest of the time, pears, apples, bananas and the like seem to be sufficient.
There could be many reasons for your cravings.. hormones, imbalance, maybe you are trying to diet and have decided to cut out sweets, which makes you crave them since you can no longer have them... perhaps you don't eat breakfast which usually leads to binge snacking in the evening to compensate for lost calories. I'm going to assume you just enjoy sweets and want to stop eating so much of them. Probably the best way is not to go cold turkey but slowly wean yourself off them by replacing bad sweets like candy or chocolate, desserts, etc with healthier choices such as fruit for example.
Make sure you check labels on food to see how much sugars per serving you are getting because many foods have hidden sugars. Sugar is very much like a drug, when you eat it, your body wants more and more. Try to get used to eating foods with no more than 6 grams of sugar per serving and find foods that can satisfy your cravings without spiking your blood sugar levels.
Richard Simmons has a great idea of freezing washed grapes and when the urge to snack comes upon you at night or whenever - have some grapes - nutritional with God's candy sweetness - nice in hot summer. Fruit is always better than refined sugar - eating sugar usually has an after effect of the 'sugar blues'. Trail mix is even a better choice than baked goods - I heard that some parents are now giving their young children Energy bars as a replacement for regular candy bars.
I hope you get the help you need. :-}.
I found that when you eat a well-balanced diet, the cravings tend to subside. It made choosing easier, because I could choose to eat the sweet because I wanted to not because I craved it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
