Question by Ronnie: Trying to cut sugar out of my diet, any tips on how to beat cravings?
Hi, I’m really struggling to cut sugar out of my diet. I do eat healthy foods but I also eat a huge amount of sugary snacks and have done so for many years.

I’m now 31 and am concerned about the effects that this prolonged high sugar intake may have had. Also, my skin is really not great for my age – I have lines, blotchy skin and blocked pores, which I think would be improved if I cut out sugar.

I’ve been trying really hard and start the day great with lemon & water, porridge and fruit. I’ve been eating salad for lunch with some fish but by mid afternoon my craving for sugar gets the better of me and I can’t resist snacking on chocolate, biscuits etc

I start each day thinking that I’ll try harder but can’t get to the end of the day without having a sugary snack. I love nuts and fruit and do eat them as snacks but am still wanting sugary stuff afterwards. Does anyone have any tips?

many thanks

There’s a way to change your diet to avoid cravings and get off sugars.
Try a book called “The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery Program” or look up an online program called Radiant Recovery.
Sugar addiction is real, and has very negative effects on you health. Trying to quit on your own without following the program can be impossible.
