Healthy Foods That Reduce Sweet Cravings

Cravings mean that the body is missing something. It’s normally caused by a lack of nutrients in the body, but it can also be for emotional reasons. The key to reducing sugar cravings is to focus on having a healthy diet by adding real, wholesome foods to it. The more we eat whole and fresh foods, the more we nourish the body, and the more the desire for sugary foods decreases.

These foods, which largely don’t give your body nutrients, turn into stores quickly and thus increase in those areas where every person easily accumulates more fats. In this article, we will list some foods that help fight the impulsive need to eat sweets, which can be related to imbalances in blood glucose leve.
                             
Spicy potatoes

Spicy potatoes Baby red potatoes become blissfully soft when you microwave them for 3 to 5 minutes (leave the skin on for its nutrients). Sprinkle with pepper and dried seasonings. Add a pat of Greek yogurt for a healthy sour cream replacement.

Chew Your Food

Digestive enzymes start the process of breaking down starches into sugar. When you cut out processed foods from your diet and chew your food well, you’ll start to notice the natural sweetness of fruits, vegetables and even brown rice.

Stevia

This plant from Paraguay is becoming popular as a natural sweetener thanks to its multiple benefits, among which we highlight the property to regulate blood glucose levels, just like what happens with cinnamon. It also contains 0 calories, which is why it’s great for fighting sweet cravings. You won’t feel the need to eat other sugars with the incredible sweetness of this plant.

Beet Crystals

Beet crystals are a naturally sweet, water-soluble product made from organic beet juice. They have many health benefits, including cleansing the liver, supporting the immune and cardiovascular systems, and providing the body with vitamin C and iron. Use them in place of sugar in any food or drink.

Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is a great food to keep around when you want something sweet. It’s naturally delicious (it is chocolate after all!) and is full of antioxidants. For the most nutritional value, choose a bar that’s at least 70 percent cacao.
