Sugar cravings aren’t just about willpower. They can be a sign that your body needs more protein, more water, or a break from the constant cycle of eating sweets. There are many reasons why sweet cravings might be there… But here are a couple of tips to help curb them. These three simple steps can help you reduce sugar cravings naturally: eat more protein—especially at breakfast, drink more water, and gradually cut back on sweets until the cravings are under control. It may seem logical to reach for fruit when you want something sweet, but for some people, even fruit can keep the craving cycle going. Try focusing on balanced meals with enough protein and notice whether your cravings begin to ease. Small changes can make a big difference. You are sweet enough as you are!

I make a version of this so often in the summer. Usually, I cook the quinoa at breakfast time and then put the whole pot into the fridge so it cools down for lunch. At lunch, I add in whatever vegetables we have in the fridge and parsley and mint. 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil oil and a pinch of salt That’s it. (this one had quite a lot of parsley compared to the quinoa. Usually, I don’t have that much parsley.)
