12. Dates and Prunes

Dates are highly nutritious and sweet, exactly something that you are longing for. They are loaded with iron, potassium, and dietary fiber.

So, instead of grabbing a candy, grab a few dates.

Prunes are dried plums and similar to dates in nutrition and sweetness. They contain sorbitol, which is a sugar alcohol found in a natural version. It is sweet, but absorbed slowly, so you feel fuller and get no cravings.

Bonus: You just enjoyed a sugary food without actually having the sugar.

So, fill your cabinets with the above mentioned foods. These are your powerful “weapons” against an attack of a sugar craving.

And yes, it’s no harm in indulging in a purely sugary food once in a blue moon. After all, life is to be enjoyed, isn’t it?
