Stop The Cravings

Try replacing sugary foods or refined-carbohydrate foods with higher-protein foods for a few days.

By eating less of the quickly-absorbed carbohydrates, keeping moderate amounts of lean proteins and healthy fats in your diet, and getting a reasonable amount of physical activity, you set the stage for weight loss. These strategies form the basis of the smart good-carb approach. Put the emphasis on unrefined carbohydrate foods, and you will get more fiber, vitamins, and minerals to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates into your bloodstream. Slow, gradual absorption will prevent your body from producing excess insulin and prevent sudden or excessive drops in blood sugar. As a result, you experience less hunger and are less likely to get sudden urges for sweets.
