Giving in to more candies, cookies and other refined sugars are the direct indication of sweets craving. It so hard to control to the extent that the more sweets you have the more you are looking forward to. At this point, you have to take action to manage your sugar intake given that it remains the main factor that works against healthy eating which would be the major contributory factor to overweight and other sugar related conditions.

In situations where the craving is chronic, it is often an indication of hypoglycemia and it is always advisable to seek help from nutrition experts and other health professionals. If it is not a chronic problem, there are many options of handling it all depending on whether sweet craving is emotional or physical.

Like all other habits, it is not very easy to do away with this problem. The general solution however is to have lesser and lesser sweets as this will reduce cravings too. The big question is where to start from. Here are few of the tips that you can employ.

Working with substitutes has always provided a better solution. For the majority of people, cravings are often experienced in the afternoon or evening after meals. Instead of cookies or candies, a box of raising or just peppermint tea would be a better alternative. Fruits come with natural sugars and are very nutritious in addition to the fact that they are much easier to carry around thus providing a better solution.

Getting involved in some physical activities or any other form of activity that is mentally engaging is also advisable. The trick is to buy time out of cravings particularly given that this feeling only lasts for a short while. This may not be very easy but walking around, watching some engaging movies, reading novels or even getting to friends can help you achieve this.

The other trick is to use goal setting and reward strategy. Getting through a day without a sugar treat is often very hard, and may require a reward so as to be able to hold on to it. Nevertheless, the achievement is often worth the reward. This is especially true and very practical because the mind is set to view the whole idea as a source of reward rather than an un-paying sacrifice.

In addition to this, being in close proximity to healthy snack foods greatly limits the accessibility of too much sugar. Practically, you would not drive into a store to buy sweets when you have nicely sliced mango in your snack box. The idea is that the strong desire to consume sugar will be quickly suppressed by a healthier alternative.

Whether is habitual or a sign of deficiency or unbalanced sugars in the blood, it is often good to do something about it. Too much calories in the blood fast accumulates into fats that are associated with several health risks. With determination and consistency however, you will be able to kick off sweets craving living longer and healthier life.
