I Want Sugar!! I Want Sugar!! I Want Sugar!! I Want Sugar!! Help!!!

What do you do to curve sugar cravings? I have tried sugar-free candies, but I'm finding that it's not doing the trick anymore.

What things have you tried that work for those sugar cravings? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)

  1. I just give in, it happens at least two times a week.

    1. Hello , thanks for chiming in. I have been eating sugar-free cough drops. It's helping a little bit, but it's not the same. What do you do on the days that you don't eat sweets? Do you have a sugar substitute? Diane (Team Member)

  2. I'm currently eating sugar as I'm testing a claim. Tbh When I didn't eat sugar (BEFORE prediabetes) it was easy for me to give it up. Just never had the tooth

    1. Hello , let us know what you find out. I'm very curious. Diane (Team Member)

  3. Try making brown butter and freezing it. Then break into small chunks. They act as a dessert but is pure butter. You can google for the recipe / video on how to make jt.

    1. Hello , I found a few recipes. It looks interesting. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing. Diane (Team Member)

    2. , I just wanted to follow up and let you know I made this. I soon found out it could be used for other things. I gave up salt because of chronic kidney disease, but this brown butter seems to be a great topping for some things. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any more great tips to share? How are you doing? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)

  4. OMG I know this feeling. When the body goes into craving mode, it is chaotic. BUT my counselor advised me to find alternatives to combat that. KIND bars have been my go-to. B. Keith Crear III (Team Member)

    1. , I need to try the "Kind Bars". This is getting to be a losing battle. I know for me, once I get started. I don't want to stop. Thanks for sharing, Diane (Team Member)

    2. I'm just checking in to see how you are doing. How are those cravings going? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)
