Intense sugar cravings Topic

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone else has had excessive sugar cravings? In the more recent years l've put on over a stone from my severe sugar and carbohydrate cravings and I just struggle to resist sugar. I was wondering how you all got over it? I've tried so much and my mind is just so occupied with it. It’s like once I have some, I can’t stop.

Please can someone provide some advice or help as it’s really bad and I’m noticing the impacts.

Maybe try sugar alternatives like monk fruit extract or sucralose..

Also try switching to food items that don’t include added sugar, and then just adding reasonable amounts of something sweet on top like honey or pure maple syrup. The contrast makes it more tasty I think than just eating something filled with sugar, and you’ll end up consuming a lot less sugar doing this
