Did you know? Eating a high protein diet can seriously help sugar cravings!
"How many grams of protein per day do you need? It depends on your goals: whether you seek general good health, want to lose fat or hope to gain muscle."

garv 8yr Never thought that there would be a connect between a high protein diet & sugar cravings.
-
foodbymars 8yr @garv often times people assume cravings are based on lack of self control or that it's all mental, but often times it's an underlying nutrient deficiency and your body is craving what it's missing! It might manifest in different ways, making sure you have enough clean protein will definitely help give your body what it needs so it stops asking for more 💪🏻

Brianne 8yr I discovered this from my own experimentation. I haven't done much 'calculation,' as suggested in the article, but I do try to swap in sugary snacks for more protein-dense snacks whenever possible. -
annefood 8yr Totally agree @Brianne I'm not scientific about it, but I also notice that when I eat an egg, for example, instead of some other snack, my sugar cravings vanish. -
garv 8yr Gonna consciously try this ! What works for me is eating at regular intervals , cuts cravings/ tendency to eat anything sweet very effectively
-
foodbymars 8yr Yea, I agree- I feel the difference with protein!

This recipe is easy, clever and healthy. Seriously, why buy bread anymore, people?! It's gluten-free, grain-free and packed full of vitamins and prebiotic starch 🙌🏻🍌

annefood Great idea! There's a restaurant where I used to live that had a sandwich on the menu using plantains. I had forgotten about that! Thanks for the reminder.
