4. Rewire Your Brain To Crave Healthy Food
If you resist cravings long enough, they will go away. When you feel the craving for sugary foods, there’s a lot of science to suggest (and even confirm in some cases,) that it’s actually the bacteria living in your gut which experience the craving. Many bacteria species can only eat simple sugars like glucose, sucrose, dextrose, and lactose, and if you deprive them of these sugary pleasures, they diminish. Pick a food you like – almonds, brussel sprouts, and every time you get a craving for sugar, eat your substitute instead. Within a week or two, the sugar-loving microbes will be gone.
