The Main Idea

It’s true that some people have a sweet tooth problem more than others. People who don’t have that problem are lucky to have the character trait of just not caring for or craving sweets and got to grow up with healthier habits. Just because you don’t have that character trait yet doesn’t mean you can never have it! Sure, you may like sweets more, but you can still make healthy habits and practice self-control.

Pre-diabetes and Diabetes has been on the rise and nobody wants to add to that next number in the statistics. Diabetes is one of the diseases that can be prevented. Besides diabetes, there are plenty of other health risks if you don’t cut down on sugar. Eating too much sugar makes it easier to be overweight or obese which have further health issues in themselves. You can also get acne, bad skin, and aging skin if you don’t cut back on sugar.

Soooooooooo…. What I present to you are a few ideas to help you when you get your sweet tooth cravings and are great, delicious substitutes!

Sugar Substitutes

1. Frozen fruit dipped in sugar free, or reduced sugar Cool Whip (yes there is such a thing). This one is definitely easy to find and you still get your nutrients! Fruit still contains some sugar, but not as much. Most grocery stores usually have a good selection of frozen fruit to choose from. Of course, you can still use fresh fruit too.
2. Strawberry Angel food shortcake. ~update~ I did not realize just how much a regular box or premade angel food had in it! I have a recipe using Splenda monk fruit or Truvia instead!

3. Breyers Low Carb, Low Sugar Ice-Cream. You might have to have more of an eye to find it when looking through the freezer section, but there are a few brands that offer sugar-free and fat-free ice-cream. You can also be creative when using some toppings to the ice-cream because most of the time it is plain vanilla. There is still sugar-free chocolate syrup, fruit, nuts, rice crispies, or cornflakes. I don’t know if you have tried rice crispies or cornflakes before, but it gives it a nicer texture and makes it more flavorful. Adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger spices is another good toss. There is also a particular brand of ice-cream called Halo ice-cream that has created more than just vanilla flavors. The calories, fat, and sugar are all extremely low! The ice-cream still tastes great!

4. Other made-from-scratch desserts as cakes or cookies replaced with Stevia, Erythritol, Monk fruit, or Splenda. There are a few other sugar substitutes like monk fruit and erythritol. Stevia is an especially leading substitute for sugar because it is derived from a plant. Splenda though is typically better to bake with because it can be equivalently measured to sugar. Not everyone has the time to cook from scratch, but it’s always optional. It may cost you a little more, but it is worth the cost to have a healthier lifestyle.

5. Dark Chocolate, Sugar-free chocolate or candy, 100 calorie snack packs or candy bars. Some food items aren’t always the most seen or available to find. Candy bars, snack cakes, and cookies are always the easiest to see. Sometimes, you have to go out of your way and do your research when finding some good substitutes. A lot of items exist, and some people don’t even know about them. You can get such products at larger grocery stores or online, because they are not usually in convenient stores.

6. There are a few teas and beverages out there that can help you with your sugar cravings. here are two:

1. Cinnamon Tea

• Naturally sweet and warming
• Helps stabilize blood sugar levels
• May reduce appetite and sweet cravings
  👉 Try it with a splash of almond milk for a creamy twist.

2. Green Tea or Matcha

• Contains catechins that regulate blood sugar
• May reduce stress-related cravings
• Provides gentle energy without sugar crashes

7. Less is better. If things aren’t always easily available to you and you can’t find a sugar substitute. You then should be very conservative with your sweets. Buy a small box of truffles and have enough self-control to eat just one at a time. You could also buy the miniature bars and have one at a time. Sugar has always been meant to eat sparingly but it isn’t served sparingly. You have to make the serving portion smaller yourself.

8. And Lastly, Practice Self-Control. Self-control is something anyone can achieve. You have to put your mind to it and be intentional with yourself. It is always possible to curb those cravings. If you are struggling, you can think of the last workout or healthy meal you had and feel like your past effort went to waste. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to indulge every now and then. Besides eating too much sugar, you might also feel negative feelings of guilt, stress, or wasted time.
