Cinnamon - Naturally helps to balance blood sugar levels and adds a familiar taste of comfort to things like tea and coffee.
Chromium - A mineral that’s often deficient if you find yourself craving sugar and refined carbs. If you find that you have any level of blood sugar imbalance chromium is a great choice.
Exercise - Sometimes the only reason you’re even craving sugar is that your body and brain are addicted to the rush of feel-good hormones. Exercise does the same thing, except it’s MUCH healthier.
Journalling/meditation/prayer - If you’re feeling emotional and your first instinct is to reach for the ice cream, try writing in a journal instead, meditating &/or prayer. You’ll feel so much better and getting your emotions out is often all that’s needed.
Citrus essential oil - Taking a few deep inhalations of lemon or orange essential oil will provide a jolt of uplifting feel-good hormones as well as a gentle energy boost.
Drink tea - Herbal teas, especially licorice tea which is naturally sweet, are great for providing a touch of sweetness alongside delicious flavor.
Take a whole foods multivitamin - Sugar cravings stem from nutrient deficiencies, taking a whole foods vitamin supplement can help to address deep-seated nutritional issues and get you back on track to feeling food and craving free. Better yet, ensure you are eating a whole foods diet.
