    Shirley Anderson wrote a hub about how to beat sugar cravings:

    http://hubpages.com/hub/Sugar-Sensitivi … -and-Tired

    She also recommended a book, which I ordered last week and just got in the mail today. I'm actually headed off to read it right now! big_smile

    After reading Shirley's article, it made me think about how I couldn't imagine not eating sugar and desserts - a sure sign of addiction, for sure!

    Yes, it's ok to eat sugar once in a while, but I REALLY love it and I know I would feel better and much more healthier from refraining from refined sugar and carbohydrates.

    I've tried drinking a cup of coffee every time I want to eat sweets, I munch on raw green beans or raw carrots instead, I drink orange juice (although there is natural sugar in that it isn't as much as in a Hershey bar). 

    I don't know what to try next.  Yesterday I got in the car to go get ice cream (chocolate extreme blizzard with extra stuff), the craving was so bad. 

    So if anyone has a way to help, I'd appreciate hearing it, too.

    EDIT:  I just read girly_girl's comment, and Shirley's hub.  Thanks for the link -- it's great advice.

    Yoghurt? or savoury things like litte scotch eggs?  peanuts?

    Fruit is best though. (Grapes, Strawberries...)

    Smoothy?

    The only thing that worked for me was to stop with sweets, completely.  Now, on occasion, I eat sweets and it is really a treat.  Your body can develop a dependency on sweets like drugs.

    It is very difficult, but I just said no, unless it was special occasion.  When I was pregnant with my daughter, I ate tons of sweets, and I gained way too much weight.  I will eat a cookie, occasionally, and sweets on special occasions, but I don't even think about sweets on a daily basis.

    I don't keep sweets around the house on a regular basis. That way I'm not as tempted to eat them, and when I do have a craving, I have to decide if it's really serious enough to make a special trip to the store. Usually it's not.

    When I do get sweets, I get higher quality stuff. Even though it's more expensive, it satisfies me more with a smaller amount, so I break even both in dollars and calories. As often as not, I find that it's really the fat in a pint of Ben and Jerry's or a bar of 72% cocoa dark chocolate that I'm craving anyway, not the sugar. I can eat a small cup of B&J's and be satisfied, where lower quality ice cream will take a heaping bowlful.

    I end my meals with green tea (no sugar added) and easily live week after week without candies at all. Bananas, peaches are tasty sweeteners to replace sugar.

    I very rarely have sweets in the house since one of my kids is a diabetic. But when I do, it's little things like Hershey Kisses. When I get a chocolate craving, one little Hershey Kiss can satisfy it just as well as a piece of chocolate cake.

    `
    when the food is in front of u...think about what  the drawbacks of eating extra sweets, ..---- that will cause u to become more fat, ten u will look ugly, u would not enjoy to wear swim suits and slimy dress, boys will no longer look at u.
    you think that u r the most desirable woman in the world and feel like celebrity so that u must not eat ...sweets...the will power will automatically bust up....
