How to stop eating sweets?
I would like to know if anyone found a way to stop craving sweets? Every time i eat i crave something sweet afterwards. I try to ignore it and it works for awhile but i always end up craving it again. Im not overweight or anything i just know it is unhealthy and i have diabetes in my family so i do not want to end up with diabetes either. Ive read eating fruits or vegetables but it doesnt work for me. Thanks
I haven’t found anything that works permanently, but sometimes if I have sugar-free hard candy it helps. Something sweet to suck on takes care of that desire most days.
Another thing that works, but in an opposite way is to have Halls cough drops handy. They are very strong and make food taste horrible.

Try something sugar free.
Like a sugar free soft drink, or candy.

drink v8 fusion and any kind of tea…it’s hard to stop craving those foods once we’ve been hooked.. start out by eating one sweet a day..to a few times a week..then once a week, then think about all the toxins that are in food now a days. think of all the chemicals and processed food they are trying to poison us with… pretend for a day that you HATE sweets.. you think they’re gross. my boyfriends little sis doesnt like junk food…how weird is that? i don’t know how she does it…

You want a radical method? Carry something repulsive to taste with you, like an Onion or even vapor rub, Each time you want to pop a sweet into your mouth , cover it with either the Onion or Vapor rub. Then pop the sweet into your mouth. Very soon your brains will associate PAIN to eating of sweets.
Try it. it works for me.

Don’t buy sweets when you’re at the store.
Always keep a fruit salad handy in your fridge. Fruit actually has a sweet taste, but is healthy and a lot better for you.
Or, have days where you can eat sweets. Say about 2-3 times a week. Make it low-sugar/fat. Such as "Natural lollies", and such.

The best way to eat healthy is to shop healthy.
What you buy at the store is what’s in your kitchen, and what goes into your belly.

This is a way to strengthen your willpower. Plus it reminds you daily of the life you want. You can be in control. Write this down every day before every meal or snack.
"It is my intention to give up sodas and sweets. I am strong enough to do this."
At least once write down a list of the pros & cons of giving up sweets.
A few people in my family have lost limbs to diabetes so it is a big deal to me too. I find that the hard crunchy vegetables are filling for me. Good luck to you.
