How is everyone\u2019s new routine going at home? If you’re like me, you like to snack a lot. While adapting to the slower pace at home and all the additional time spent inside, it\u2019s very easy to lose control of your snacking. A reason to be over-snacking during this time could stem from emotional eating – meaning eating as a way to comfort ourselves from stress. Another reason could be that we aren\u2019t eating enough full meals. As a result, we tend to reach for sugary snacks to feel satisfied. Here are a few tips to help you curb your sugar cravings and control your snacking habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Be mindful. Start noticing what you consume that has added sugar.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is there a certain time of day or setting where you experience a sugar itch? It\u2019s important to be mindful. Perhaps you might notice an emotional attachment to your sugar craving. For example, a moment during the day when you felt stressed (emotional) or a moment when you felt tired (nutrient depleted).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Snack smarter & implement healthy swaps.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you get a craving for something sweet, eat healthy fat or protein. Why? Wholesome fat and protein fill us up. Your sugar cravings will be stopped in their tracks! But, of course, don\u2019t go overboard with fat, especially processed fat like chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By cutting out snacking entirely, this can cause us to feel mentally and psychologically deprived, which can backfire our well-being! This is why it\u2019s easier to replace your cravings with something healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Reduce spikes in your blood sugar level.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sugary snacks take us on the blood sugar rollercoaster ride. We all know that this rollercoaster is a dangerous one to be on, so be conscious of spikes in your blood sugar level. When you mix sugar with fibre, healthy fats, or protein, you\u2019re actually slowing down the absorption of sugar in your blood. This means you won\u2019t experience sugar spikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Be wary of snacks with hidden sugars.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that some cereals have more than double the amount of added sugar than a slice of chocolate cake?! Remember – added sugar can easily be hidden in lots of products you might not have considered. It\u2019s important to take the time to properly read a product\u2019s ingredient list and nutritional table. If you\u2019re curious about how the different types of sugar affect your body, read more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
