How to 40 + stop being sweet

14 days, actually see results. 40 + If the sweet is reduced for about 2 weeks, the "tongue will get used to" and the urge will decrease observably. ✨

1) Reduce it bit by bit, do not break raw, 40 + years old, hormones and sugar levels swing easier than before. If the sweet cut is broken, the raw will be even more yummy 😩, start by reducing "sweetness by 20-30%" first, such as 100% sweet regular milk tea → 70% → 50%.

2) Eat enough protein, be full for a long time, do not swing, when sugar falls, will want dessert immediately, add protein every meal, such as eggs 🥚, tofu, 🍢, fish 🐟, chicken breasts 🐔, keep it full for a long time, reduce the obvious craving.

3) Change dessert to sweet well. Doesn't mean no sweet, but change options instead.

• Little sweet fruit green apple / berry / guava 🍏🫐

• 70% or more dark chocolate 🍫

• Greek yogurt + fruit

4) Drink enough water 6-8 glasses a day. Many times I think that "wanting dessert" is that the body is dehydrated. 🫠

5) Stress management, 40 + years old, easy to stress, cortisol hormone sweetens even more. Try

• 10-minute walk

• Take a deep breath for one minute.

• Listen to 3 favorite songs 🎧

6) Do not buy, do not see, do not want dessert in the house = very high missed opportunity, clear the house first!

7) Reward yourself as a non-food, buy flowers for yourself 💐, change your mobile case 📱, or go out to a beautiful cafe without ordering sweetness.

8) If going to eat... eat consciously

• Eat only after meals, not on an empty stomach

• Eat only 2-3 words.

• Unique on the same day
