Overcoming Your Craving for Sweets After the Holidays

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.
