I eat a small bowl of Frosted Flakes almost every night. I think it might be one of the best things I do for my health.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s probably not the confession you expect from a fitness pro, but learning to be in control of your diet is the ultimate goal that changes the way you see food and eliminates so much unnecessary stress. In order to have control, you need to <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> fear food, especially the options that lack health benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people have one food that they fear or simply can\u2019t control. It might be sugar, pasta, or chips (Betcha can\u2019t eat just one!). This is something we all understand and have experienced. It\u2019s frustrating, but there\u2019s a way to leave the endless cycle that doesn\u2019t require you to ditch all the stuff that tastes <\/span>grrrrrreat<\/span><\/i>. (Couldn\u2019t help it.)<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can learn to manage and control cravings \u2014 especially when it comes to sugar \u2014 it makes eating more enjoyable and dieting a thing of the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Big Sugar Mistake<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t try and cut out all sugar immediately. This is common advice and it\u2019s terrible; sure, reducing sugar is, generally, good advice, but going cold turkey and avoiding everything doesn\u2019t work. If 20 years of working with clients teaches you anything, it\u2019s that the sugar ban is a highway to dietary frustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you do it because you\u2019ve been told any amount of sugar or processed carb is off limits. Or, maybe you\u2019re aware that eating a little of something you love quickly turns into a lot, and…well…you know how that works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Extreme restriction takes a similar road, but with more damaging outcomes. You might start out strong, but then you want dessert, or have dinner with friends, or just had a rough day at work and don\u2019t feel like another meal of chicken and broccoli. The expectation of perfection means it\u2019s only a matter of time before you\u2019re mainlining ice cream and cinnamon buns into your mouth. And, that leads to guilt, frustration, and a slippery slope that can cause you to stray from your healthy habits. So, it\u2019s not advisable unless you want to stay on the restrictive diet hamster wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you accept that there\u2019s room for <\/span>any<\/span><\/i> food \u2014 sugar included \u2014 it\u2019s empowering because you know the end goal is something you\u2019ll enjoy. You can be perfectly healthy and fit and enjoy some<\/span> of the foods you love very frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The way to get to that point is controlling the endless urge to eat your favorite foods. Once you can control constant cravings, you can progress to eating small amounts and having the best of both worlds \u2014 being healthy and not having to live a life of restriction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Sugar Feels Addictive<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite what people say, sugar does not work like cocaine, but it sure can feel like it. The hardest thing about sugar is that while a little isn\u2019t bad, it can easily trigger your desire to eat <\/span>a lot<\/span><\/i> more of the sweet stuff. And, that\u2019s why experts make a big deal about sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve shared before,<\/span><\/p>\n

The real danger with sugar is not that it\u2019s inherently fattening. A gram of sugar is still just 4 calories. And 4 calories will not make you fat. However, you can eat a lot of sugar and not feel full. So you eat some sugar\u2026and then some more\u2026and then some more\u2026and next thing you know a box of cookies are gone \u2014 and you\u2019re still feeling hungry.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And, it\u2019s also the type of sugar you eat. Enjoying fruits and vegetables is not the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no evidence that eating fruit, even in high amounts, will harm your health.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s all the added sugar that seemingly finds it way into many unnecessary foods. We still eat a ton of the sweet stuff, and often unknowingly. In fact, the average American swallows about 22 teaspoons of added sugar every day<\/span> —\u00a0 which comes to a whopping 355 calories. (The World Health Organization recommends only about 5 percent of your calories come from added sugar, which would be 75 calories for someone who consumes 1500 calories a day.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if rule #1 is to keep sugar in small amounts, then rule #2 is learn how to manage your sugar cravings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Part of managing how much sugar is recognizing all the different ways it sneaks into your diet. If you want cookies at the end of the day, then you don\u2019t want the sugar in ketchup to be the reason you couldn\u2019t enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ketchup<\/p>\n

When you start applying some of the tips below, you\u2019ll quickly feel better, not have as many cravings, and slash refined sugars. When that happens, you\u2019ll notice a difference and be in a better position to add more freedom back into your diet. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Limit sugar-packed foods<\/b><\/h3>\n

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your diet is limit all the different ways sugar creeps into the foods you eat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ketchup, barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, certain yogurts, \u2018healthy\u2019 cereals, soups, salad dressing, granola bars, whole grain crackers\u2026 these are all potential sugar bombs, says Georgie Fear, Registered Dietitian and author of <\/span>Lean Habits For Lifelong Weight Loss<\/span><\/i><\/a>. <\/span><\/i>If it comes in a package, odds are there\u2019s a good amount of sugar inside. Use sparingly or try making some of these foods at home so you can keep an eye on what goes in.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Add flavor to fruit<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201c\u2018Have fruit instead\u2019 is a piece of advice that’s rather trite by now, and for many people fruit just isn’t sweet enough on its own to calm down a sweet tooth,\u201d says Fear. Her solution: Sprinkle peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, or banana slices with cinnamon (Saigon cinnamon is the best bet for a sweet flavor) and broil them. \u201cIt\u2019s much more dessert-worthy than a plain old orange,\u201d says Fear.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Spot nutrition label red flags<\/b><\/h3>\n

Don’t sweat naturally occurring sugars found in things like milk and apples — it\u2019s the \u2018added sugars\u2019 that trigger major health issues. \u201cThese have been tricky to spot in the past but the FDA just announced that they\u2019ll be adding the requirement to list added sugars separately on food labels,\u201d says Fear. Phew — your job just got easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And cutting sugar means you\u2019ll have to look for it hiding under a different alias (like dextrose, glucose, fructose, fruit sugar, or \u2018fruit juice concentrate\u2019) as you\u2019re tallying up the score.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t go cold turkey<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201cWeaning down, instead of cutting sugar out cold turkey, helps your taste buds adjust so that foods with less intense sweetness still seem sweet enough,\u201d says Fear. Eliminating all sugar at once can backfire since people crave it more and chow on larger portions when they (inevitably, womp womp) reintroduce it. If you normally add two spoons of sugar into tea, try just one for a week, and then just a squirt of honey. There\u2019s a good chance your taste buds won\u2019t revolt. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Experiment with \u201cNatural\u201d Sugars<\/b><\/h3>\n

Speaking of, a little bit of honey or maple syrup can add some serious sweetness to foods like Greek yogurt or oatmeal in place of the white stuff. While they don\u2019t pack any fewer cals than regular sugar, they do contain antioxidants and noticeable flavor, so all you need to add is a tad. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Be smart about artificial sweeteners<\/b><\/h3>\n

They may not actually be as evil as we think, says Fear, who uses artificial sweeteners herself in moderation. \u201cResearch shows that their use is helpful in reducing sugar intake, and that when people can choose calorie-free sweetened beverages vs. plain water, they lose more weight when they can have the calorie-free beverages. Presumably, because they can better satisfy their sweet tooth and have something enjoyable.\u201d Of course, if you can get by with natural seltzer with lemon or other fresh fruit for flavor, nix the diet sodas. But it\u2019s not a crime to indulge every once in a while.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Keep a journal<\/b><\/h3>\n

Truth: Most of us are creatures of habit. Tracking down what you eat and when (i.e.: M&M\u2019s before a 3 p.m. meeting) can help you avoid or undercut those \u2018need sugar now\u2019 triggers. A move as simple as keeping some nuts in your desk drawer for afternoon energy slumps could wind up saving you hundreds of calories in sugar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
