BEAT YOUR SUGAR CRAVINGS!
There’s no denying sugar tastes good, but it doesn’t have any nutritional benefit to our body. On the contrary it actually depletes the vitamins and minerals we consume through other foods.

• Eat complex carbohydrates which are high in fibre and release glucose into your blood stream slowly ensuring you will have balanced energy levels and brain power. Complex carbohydrate foods include oats, whole grain wheat cereals and breads, rye bread, brown (basmati) rice, wholemeal pasta, vegetables, lentils and beans.
• Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white breads, white pasta, white rice, refined breakfast cereals, cakes, biscuits. 
• Avoid sugar altogether and limit fruit to 2-3 times a day.
• Always eat meals and snacks which are a combination of both carbohydrate and protein e.g. fruit with a handful of nuts, cereal with milk, brown rice with chicken or salmon.
• Eat little and often to maintain your blood glucose levels throughout the day.
• Drink plenty! Sometimes feeling hungry is actually a sign that your body needs a drink.
• Take a good quality chromium supplement to balance your blood sugar levels, normalise hunger and reduce cravings.
