It has become known what will help overcome the craving for sweets

Pravda.Ru was told about this by dietitian, nutritionist and therapist, member of the National Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists Anna Belousova.

Thus, you can gradually reduce the amount of sugar in drinks, as well as the amount of sweets. According to the doctor, to minimize temptation, it's better to remove sweets from sight.

She added that in some cases, cravings for sweets may be a sign of health problems, including carbohydrate metabolism disorders, prediabetes or diabetes.

"Sometimes this also happens with iron deficiency anemia or chromium deficiency. Therefore, before completely eliminating sweets, you need to check blood sugar and iron levels and, if necessary, adjust your diet," Belousova emphasized.

Scientists from Vanderbilt University Medical Center had previously found that a daily portion of nuts between meals reduces cravings for sweets and improves diet quality in young adults at risk for metabolic syndrome.
