One book that I highly recommend is Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz. The sour flavors will diminish sweet cravings as well as help stabilize bad gut bacteria that all that sugar is feeding. I also find that good fats will help...-- s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi Peggy, Increase your level of healthy fats. Nuts, (except peanuts) nut butters, seeds, olive oil, coconut and coconut oil. Make sure they are not rancid or moldy. AEVincent.com is a good source as they regularly test for freshness. A good breakfast is one-half cup of nuts (pecans are good choice) and one cup of orange juice blended into a smoothie. It is not real sweet. The oil in the nuts will slow any sugar surge from the orange juice and your sugar craving will go down. When you do want something sweet you will be satisfied with an apple. Eat lots of vegetables and small portions of protein at other meals. Always have some fat with your meals. Olive oil on salad is a good example. Do not eat at lot of starchy things. Expect your energy to increase as your sugar craving decreases.
