annefood 7yr Hey @katewhit ! Honestly the best way to get over craving sweets is to stop eating sweets. When I eat a bunch of sugar and desserts I crave them all the time, but after a week of not eating any, I barely crave them at all. Have you checked out the Avoid Sweets Guidebook? https://www.thefoodstand.com/challenge-groups/13-avoid-sweets-dessert-and-candy/guide It has some tips, a shopping list and recipes that will help with those initial cravings. -
katewhit 7yr Okay thanks @annefood -
JoanneG 7yr I totally agree with @annefood. When I have a big sweets day, I crave them for the next week. But when I try to avoid them from the morning, like having eggs for breakfast instead of a muffin, I'm much better off. I also stopped putting sugar in my tea. That was hard at first, but now I don't miss it. -
annefood 7yr You're welcome @katewhit !
Living without sweets is surprisingly easy and you feel much more energetic

akhilg2002 So true. If I have sugar (especially even the artificial sweeteners) it seems to make me crash hard and get so much more tired!

annefood I agree it's easy once you ditch 'em, but coming off of sweets is hard! I definitely have a sweet tooth, but feel SO much better without all that sugar.

KyFish Yep I totally agree. The first few days when I started cutting out sweets were definitely hard. But now that I'm well over the hump, I have so much more sustained energy.
