GO WILD! Get festive with your fruit. If you have a sugar craving, fruit is a better option than the refined sugar that is found in most desserts. Cranberries and clementines are at their best this time of year. They're naturally low in calories, and high in fiber and antioxidants.

'Tis the season for sugar! Here are a few tips for understanding and limiting your sugar cravings.

🎄Sugar Addiction -Understand that sugar sometimes is addictive, although certainly not all experts are in agreement on this point. What we do know is that when you eat sugar, your brain releases neurotransmitters which activate the brain’s pleasure receptors.

🎄Sugar Intake-For a few days, write down and add up your sugar intake. This number may shock you. It is recommended that you not consume more than 15−25 grams/1000 calories consumed. Once you see which of your favorite foods contain the most sugar, you can determine which are the easiest to get rid of and which you would like to try to keep in small portions.

🎄Mealtime-Eat regularly, every 4 hours, to avoid the strong cravings for sugar that result from hypoglycemia, which is brought on by meals that are spaced too far apart.

🎄Ingredients-Know that sugar is sugar by any name. Fructose, maltose, sucrose, dextrose, cane sugar, Turbinado, organic sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, corn syrup, and honey are all sugars.

🎄Cravings-Try to determine if your cravings for sugar increase at specific times. Many people crave sugar more when they are physically tired. Other people have strong cravings following meals. If you cannot resist cravings, fruit is a better option than refined sugar that is found in most desserts.
