Raisins are usually sweet enough to curb my cravings. Maybe raisins and peanut butter?

I eat frozen grapes. They're sweet and good for you. Plus you can take them to work and they'll keep for a good long time.
Reply:I chew gum. It's less calories and gives your mouth something else to focus on until the craving goes away. Another great solution is drinking a lot of water. Most cravings are quieted down after drinking 16 oz of water or so. Do this throughout the day and it will help.
Reply:You could freeze sugar free whipped cream and eat it with fresh fruit....sort of tastes like ice cream and its not too unhealthy..

Reply:i eat whole food peanut butter mixed with flaxseed. The trick is to mix it really good(it comes with oil separated from peanut base) and then place it in refrig.





Do eat high fat foods. There is a direct craving mechanism when you consume high fats food for sugar.





Consume 1-2 table spoons of grounded flax seed before each meal. This keeps my sugar craving at bay.





I also take 1 cinnamon(2 grams) 30 minutes before each meal.





Also Note: Consuming flax seed will interfere with absorption of all medications and supplement. Waiting 2 hours after flax seed consumption is necessary for any vitamins or supplements.





And since I work out daily- I can consume at least 30 grams of sugar directly after a workout with no harmful rise in my blood sugar. Why ? The sugar replenishes the glucose in my liver first. This is a cool little sugar cheat I found.





Stay hydrated !!! 2 to 3 liters of water a day. This helps me as well. At first you will go to bathroom, but your body will so get use to it AND you will feel so much better and less cravings.
