I read a tip in a cookbook this week on sugar cravings and decided to test the theory. The tip is that if you are craving sugar you eat a piece of fruit and drink a glass of water and the craving will be satisfied. The tip also said that if you do this every four hours that you will no longer crave sweets. Because I am diabetic I have to be careful of my sugar levels so I also added a piece of string cheese to my snacks to make them more filling and to stabilize my glucose levels.
So everyday this week I started my morning with a banana and a glass of water. Then every four hours I ate a clementine orange, my string cheese, and drank a glass of water. It worked. I have not craved sugar or soda all week. Sugary soda and candy have been a hard thing for me to give up since being diagnosed, but with this new trick I don't miss them.
