Live, fermented foods. 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

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.
