“How do I stop sweet cravings after dinner?”
If you are not having breakfast or you are not eating enough nutritious foods earlier in the day, then you will crave sugars and quick carbohydrates later in the day. This is because your blood sugar levels will be unstable and you will not have met your nutritional needs, leading your body to crave sugar.
One of the most important nutrients to have to reduce these sugar cravings is magnesium. Foods rich in magnesium are raw pumpkin seeds, black or brown rice, avocado, raw dark chocolate (I like ‘Loving Earth’ or ‘Pana’), raw cashews, chia seeds and leafy greens.
