And make sure your not eating artificial sweeteners either.</p> <p>I gave up sugar for all of summer 2012, and it was really hard initially but after a month it got easier. I also gave up grains that summer. I should really do that again. I hate how addicted to sugar I feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-977161 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:31:17 +0000 TheReelDeal 977161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too have drastically cut my sugar intake. I literally was on a sugar rollercoaster all day, and at first, when I went cold turkey, it was awful, but after about a month, I don't have cravings as strong as I used to and things that never tasted sweet are like little bits of candy. I can barely eat apples and grapes without feeling like I'm eating a spoonful of sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-977148 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:21:20 +0000 jhd 977148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP. The more sugar I eat, the more I want to eat it! I try to never have sweet things for breakfast or else I just want sweets all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-977058 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 01:14:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 977058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purpledaisy: YES. ...&amp; no. I'll explain:</p> <p>In order for me to cut sugar (which I have for the last 2 months), I had to go all or nothing.<br /> A little bit if sugar makes your body want more. Sugar leads to ...more sugar.<br /> I had to cut it all out and then my cravings totally went away. I seriously don't crave sweets anymore.<br /> I did the same with grains. I literally only eat grains when I'm not home and have no other options....&amp; then, I crave them when I get home because I had them earlier that day. I have to stop cheating because a "cheat" leads to days of cravings.</p> <p>Pretty soon, chocolate will be too sweet for you. I got to the point where a blueberry hits the spot. This is coming from a former muffin, candy bar and Starburst addict :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-977001 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:01:46 +0000 Corduroy 977001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, sugar cravings go away for the most part. I agree with Blackbird - the easiest way to eliminate the cravings is to eliminate sugar from your diet. It's hard for a few weeks but it gets easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-976988 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 22:48:48 +0000 blackbird 976988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah it goes mostly away for me. But I have to go pretty cold turkey. Sugar is a slippery slope. I have a little, I want more, etc</p> <p>For me it's baked goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-sugar-cravings-ever-go-away#post-976982 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 22:46:28 +0000 Purpledaisy 976982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and decided to cut my sugar intake down drastically a little over three weeks ago. I've been trying to stay under 24 grams a day not including sugar from fruit. But I am still having such bad cravings!! Has anyone else cut down on sugar and had major cravings?? Did they ever go away?? </p> <p>Although I am enjoying the 8 pounds I've lost since cutting back :wink: </p>
