It is not always possible for a person who is used to eating sweets to immediately give up such products.

In such situations, it is recommended not to rush, but to gradually reduce the amount of unhealthy food, as well as switch to a healthier alternative.

For example, you can start using sugar substitutes.

Dr. Daria Rusakova told Lenta.ru about this in more detail.

She noted healthier options, adding that you shouldn't choose honey, fructose, sorbitol, or syrups made from grapes, dates, agave, or maple.

“It is better to use chicory syrup, stevia and erythritol,” the specialist emphasized.

It is better to eat any sweets in the first half of the day. But it is necessary to take into account that the amount of carbohydrates should not exceed the daily norm.

Rusakova recommended choosing healthy sweets. For example, pastila with pectin and without sugar or chocolate with a high cocoa content.
