addicted to sweets-any suggestions?

in New to Raw

Hi everyone I’m pretty new in this whole “raw-food” thing )about 2 months) and I have this big problems- I have sugar cravings which are awful! I try to overcome them eating fresh and dried fruit, but I end up eating quite lots of them which isn’t really healthy. Any suggestions on how I might overcome this addiction? Thanks Ori

    Hello! well in my opinion, I think you should be able to eat all the fresh fruit you want! I don’t eat any dehydrated fruit, not for any reason, I’ve just never got into it. But fresh fruit is really good for you and requires the smallest amount of digestive energy than any other food. But you just wanna make sure you eat it alone! I mean, make sure you get in your veggies as well, but in my opinion I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’m new to raw too, and when I first started, I craved nuts, (especially cashews!), like crazy. And they are WAY higher in calories and fat than your fruit is, so I wouldn’t stress too much!

    Thank you very much everybody, the tips seem very helpful! I’m really in the beginning of the process and although I’ve been eating 90-100% raw these last couple of months, I feel like I’m still not balanced enough. Hopefully I’ll find my way

    GO FRUIT!! lOl Yeah, I mean, picture what we all used to eat. I think we’re pretty much better off with the fresh, natural fruit and veggies we eat now… Just take it slow and your body will adjust and you’ll figure it out. I mean, like I said earlier, I felt like a major pig when I was eating so many nuts. But now, the craving’s gone. Sooner or later, if it is just cravings, You’ll get sick of eating so much fresh fruit and start eating more veggies too. Don’t stress it too much! :)

    Well the oldtime school say fiber and protien to balance blodsugar. Greensmoothies contains all that, so that is what I would surgest. Make a big portion and drink and take it with you doing the day. A little nuts specialy almonds can take the worse cravings in the moment. But the most important thing is to keep a stable blodsugar doing the day so you wont get thouse ups and downs. Many small meals (or cups of greensmoothies) can help with that. Oh and when I talk about greensmoothies im talking about the ones with LOTS of leafygreens in them ;-)
