A sudden refusal is not necessary

Don't try to immediately and completely forbid yourself from eating confectionery products.

Giving up sweets should be gradual. Abruptness will certainly lead to a "breakdown".

Reduce the amount of sugar you consume gradually. Then you will more easily switch to a healthy diet.

Eat healthy foods

The desire to eat something sweet is not always explained by the fact that the body needs another “portion of sugar”.

Often people confuse the craving for confectionery with a simple desire to eat or thirst.

Eat something healthy (cereals, vegetables) or drink a glass of water.

It often happens that a standard lunch and quenching of thirst relieves a person from cravings for sweets.

If you still have a sweet tooth, eat some honey or fruit.

Give up the habit of “eating away emotions”

Very often, the desire to eat confectionery is explained by a recently experienced stressful situation.

Perhaps it makes sense to distract yourself from troubles in other ways: go for a walk, do exercises, talk to a loved one, take a bath, watch a comedy...

Another cake will certainly reduce the stress level. But temporarily. And then, perhaps, the condition will become even worse.
