I have a sweet tooth like no other and I have to consciously make the choice every single day to walk away from the value bag of Swedish Fish sold at CVS.
If you constantly eat a lot of sugar throughout the day, your body is constantly working. Then you have any energy problem. It’s a vicious cycle. You are tired and crave sugar, you eat the sugar, feel good for a short period of time then BOOM you crash. You feel even worse than before you ate the junk. The secret is not to eat the package of Little Debbie snack cakes.
Try kicking your sugar habit but there is no need to do it all at once. If you do you all at once you might experience mood swings, headaches and anxiety. It sounds silly but sugar is an addiction and just like kicking caffeine the withdrawal symptoms are similar.
Treat yourself like a child and slowly WEAN yourself off of refined sugar. Pick something you eat regularly that contains refined sugar ie: Donuts and try to replace it with something good for you like Oatmeal with cut up pieces of apple on top. I know sometimes a girl needs her sweets so if you are going to eat chocolate don’t eat the low quality stuff that has tons of additives and ingredients with names you can’t even pronounce but go for the tad more expensive but high quality stuff.
This is my fav chocolate bar when my sweet tooth calls:
3 servings per bar
Each serving:
13g fat (8g saturated)
11g carbs (3g fiber; 6g sugar)
The Chocolove XOXOX. I know, I know the name is silly but this brand is a smooth way to transition from the junk to healthy dark chocolate. It’s creamy and the light sugar content will fulfill your sweet craving but it’s not so heavy.
You can find this bar at Whole Foods, Target, or your local grocery store
