Surely many of us have experienced an irresistible desire to indulge in something sweet.

It's good when it's a one-time occurrence. But sometimes a real craving develops.

In the latter case, nutritionists recommend reviewing your diet. And they also give very valuable advice on how to combat the scourge.

For example, it is recommended to replace sweets with foods that are healthy for the body.

These include those containing protein, which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, thereby providing a longer feeling of satiety.

In this regard, it is recommended to pay attention to poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, cheese and cottage cheese.

Experts say that the listed products provide a stable metabolism and reduce the risk of a “breakdown” on sweets.

Vegetables and fruits, which are natural sources of sugars, can also be good substitutes.

However, due to the presence of fiber, their carbohydrates are absorbed more slowly than those from sweets.

The undoubted value of vegetables and fruits is the abundance of vitamins, acids and antioxidants they contain.

So, carrots, apples or berries can successfully replace cakes and sweets.

Well, sweets, as we know, lead to weight gain, dental problems, and the risk of diabetes.
