Conquering the sugar craving
Kait Fortunato, a registered dietitian, shares some ideas that you may find useful.
Satisfy your craving with fruit!
Fruit contains sugar (apart from fibre and other valuable nutrients!), so choose to indulge in a fruit of your choice instead of a chocolate bar or a huge slice of rich chocolate cake.
Get on your feet and start moving
It doesnât help having a variety of cakes and desserts look you in the eye when at a buffet or restaurant. So if you are trying to skip the dessert part of a meal, then simply get to your feet and take a walk â as far away from the dessert section as possible!
Take control and donât allow yourself to be tempted. After all, out of sight â out of mind, right?
Give in a little
If you find that you just cannot resist having something sweet then allow yourself to give in â a little.
You could have a small piece of chocolate instead of an entire chocolate bar, or even a thin slice of cake instead of the usual over-sized portion slice served at most restaurants. Remember not to overdo it and watch those calories!
