Healthy Snacks

 Sugar is addicting, causes tooth decay and has a reputation of being the enemy of good health.

It’s interesting that once you stop eating sugar for a few days, it becomes very easy to not crave it. But once you tell yourself, you deserve a break since you’ve been so good—you are doomed back to being a sugar addict.

Snacks that Calm the Sugar Craving
There are some very easy ways to stop the habit and get some satisfaction for your sweet tooth.

In fact, there are healthy, yummy snacks you can eat to cut the sugar cravings once and for all.

1. After meals chew gum sweetened with xylitol or allow a xylitol sweetened breath drop to melt in your mouth. Artificial sweeteners are controversial with potential health risks, but xylitol is natural and helps prevent tooth decay, as some recent studies are starting to report. So opt for xylitol sweetened only candy and gum.

2. Munch on a low glycemic sweet fruit after meals or whenever the craving hits you.

 

  • Cherries
  • Grapefruit
  • Dried apricots
  • Apples
  • Pears
  • Plums
  • Peaches
  • Oranges
  • Grapes
  • Kiwi fruit
  • Bananas

 

3. Popcorn mixed with a handful of your favorite nuts also hits the spot. About 3 cups of popcorn is only 100 calories.

4. Veggies dipped with hummus. Hummus is great because it’s low carb and low in fat and good for you since it is made with garbanzo beans.

5. Low fat cheese sticks or soy cheese slices are another trick to curb the cookie monster.

Next time you want to dish out the dollars for a sugar filled snack, force yourself to partake of one of the choices above. You’ll thank yourself later.
