1. Reduce caffeine consumption. Caffeine causes your blood sugar to rise and fall causing you to crave sugar more often.
2. Replace artificial sweeteners and food with added sugar with natural sweeteners like maple syrup, stevia, agave, barley malt and brown rice syrup.
3. Drink water. Dehydration can sometimes be the reason you crave sweets.
4. Get more sleep. When you're tired your body craves energy in the form of sugar. Get some rest and relax.
5. Beware of fat-free or low-fat packaged foods. They contain added sugar and fats that compensates for the lack in taste and cause sugar highs and lows.
