1. You can have your sugary treat; just wait a while. The small delay helps to soothe your need for a dose of sugar and by the time you have it, you will probably choose a smaller portion.
  2. Did you know that lack of sleep can play havoc with your appetite and sugar cravings? Do your best to get enough sleep each night.
  3. Distract yourself when the craving hits. Go for a short walk, do some admin or a quick chore. Breaking the mental loop helps.
  4.  Drink some water. Yes, really. We often mistake thirst for hunger, which can lead to unnecessary snacking.
  5. Choose 70% dark chocolate. A small piece gives you the satisfaction of chocolate without a sugar overload.
