Once you get on a sugar roll, it’s hard to break it. Your body starts to crave sweet things. You don’t feel like yourself without that Snickers bar. It’s time to admit to the world that you have a sugar addiction! Try these tips on how to break sugar addiction in one week. Make this lifestyle change and see how long you can stay sober!
1. Get Sleep
If your body doesn’t get enough sleep, you’re more likely to snack on junk food. You will crave sugar throughout the day. Try getting between 7-9 hours of sleep a night to become a healthier person. Your cravings will vanish!

5. Eat protein
Make sure you have enough protein in your diet. Sugar gives our bodies a very quick pick-me-up, but it sends us crashing just as fast. Protein does the same thing – minus the crash. It also helps your body stay full for longer periods of time, hence no sugar craving!

I’m from Serbia and I love this. Actually, all your tips on helthy snacks are great.
I’d like to add one more on breaking sugar addiction, one that is quite efficiant because I tried it on myself and family members (I’m a teacher and mum of three).
Every morning take one tbl spoon of honey and cinnamon in a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade. Cinnamon is a natural fighter against suger, recommended to all especially those fighting diabetes.
Keep up the good work!
