How to Reduce Sugar Cravings

Wellness Tip: Make Room for Whole Foods to Reduce Sugar cravings!

Replacing processed foods with whole foods like nuts, seeds, fish, fruit, eggs, whole grains, and vegetables can reduce the added sugars in your diet.

Even the foods you don’t think of as sweets — fast foods, packaged foods, and premade meals — are often high in added sugars.

How to eat more whole foods

1. Start small. Figure out at which meals you eat the most processed foods. For example, if you often have a frozen meal for dinner, start there.

2. Follow whole-foods suggestions:

• You’ll be less likely to get fast food for lunch if you prep a whole foods-based lunch

• Try simple one-pot meals like slow cooker turkey chili instead of takeout and frozen dinners.

• Have a set of simple go-to recipes (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner) that you can make over and over again.
