After weeks of family feasts, office treats, and homemade
goodies being delivered by your neighbors, it is no surprise that your
post-holiday cravings for sweets are out of control. While many people turn to
a no sugar diet post-holiday, a majority of these people fail in their
resolutions by mid-February. Here are three simple tips to make sure that your
no-sugar diet is a success— for good.
1.
Clean out your
kitchen. While you have probably been told most of your life that wasting
food is bad for you, having sugar-laden treats lying around when you are trying
to go sugar-free is no good either. The best way to wean yourself off sugar is
not to keep it in the house. Leftover Halloween candy— Throw it out. Cookies from the
neighbors— They need to go, too. Sweet
treats will do less harm in the trash than in your body!
2.
Eat Breakfast.
While this is a common piece of advice, if you are craving sweets when you wake
up in the morning it may be a challenge to avoid the sugary cereal or breakfast
bar. Instead, make sure your breakfast is packed with protein and healthy fat
to keep you fuller for longer and ready to make more nutritious decisions
throughout the day.
3.
Pump up your
probiotics. Known as the ‘good bacteria’ probiotics keep the harmful
bacteria from growing out of control and increasing your craving for
sweets.
