Products to Add to Your Diet to Feel Less Sugar Cravings:

• Fruits and dried fruits

• Vegetables: boiled beets, pumpkin, sweet peppers, tomatoes, and others

• Baked goods. Gradually reduce their share in your diet

• Candies and other sweets

• Products with added sugar. Develop a habit of reading product labels before purchasing to choose more natural and healthy food
