Whether it is a stressful day at work or recently broken up with your partner, sugar makes its way to your palate. The temptation is uncontrollable, especially if you prefer sweet food more than sweet people. The delight of relishing the sweetness is great until the guilt hits, and we end up thinking about the other side. Unfortunately, chocolates, shakes, ice creams, and other sugary foods don't really act sweet to our bodies. So, here we tell you about 3 great and basic ways you can deal with that little sweet tooth of yours.
Have fruits
You might have already heard of this advice and nodded yes but later realised that fruits could never take the place of your favourite desserts in your loyal heart. Little did we know that fruits can do wonders if you're trying to manage your sugar intake without actually bidding adieu to sugar-containing foods. The key is to experiment. Don't try complicated recipes; go for watermelon or chiku (sapodilla), and you are good to go.
Have a protein-rich meal
Most of the time, your craving doesn't actually mean you need to have sugar but actually a good meal. Try not to starve yourself, have filling meals with a good amount of protein. Eat at regular intervals and have a glass of juice with no sugar.
Be sweet to your body
Try avoiding exhaustion and stress. From having a good sleep to taking walks and showers, all of it can help you gain control over your body and reduce your helplessness. The idea is to distract yourself and feel good through ways that can actually provide you genuine long-term happiness.
It's always good to listen to your heart, but the body should never be ignored in the process. Consider taking help and consultation if you cannot manage it, and go for healthy ways of being sweet to yourself.
