How To Stop Sweet Cravings?

Try to find a substitute. Generally, people tend to crave sweets after a meal or as a pick-me-up in the late afternoon. It might be helpful to have something else there and ready to fight off those cravings. For example, peppermint tea might work in the evening, a box of raisins in the afternoon, a piece of fruit, or anything else that you can think of that would be somewhat nutritious and easy to keep with you. If you must have "sweet," go with something that's naturally sweet, such as dried fruit or even 100% fruit juice or dark chocolates. Try to occupy yourself for a good 10 minutes when you get a craving. Call a friend, take a short walk or do something to distract yourself. Set daily goals and reward yourself for meeting them. To a sugar addict, nothing is tougher than getting through the day without a sugary treat. The longer you can hold out, the easier it will become, so try to find a reward that would be worth holding out for.But see to it that the reward is not in the form of sweet again, instead watch a movie, treat yourself with your favorite dinner, etc. If you are married or have a family, this would be a healthy habit for everyone to adopt. Clean out the cupboards and refrigerator of unhealthy foods and tempting treats. Make it a team effort. Hold each other accountable and support one another through the tough times. Out of sight-out of mind!!

Normally many people have a habit of taking sweet or ice cream after every meal or at the lunch time. Sometimes food craving caused by hormonal changes, etc. When ever you try to take sweet ,substitute with some healthy foods like nuts, dry fruits, etc.
