How do you refrain from eating sugary cereals? Sometimes I have a craving for it, but I realize that it’s not the best thing for my body at the top of the morning.

The easiest way to keep from that is to not have them available. If I have healthy options that are easily accessible, it makes it more likely that I will choose them. I make a nice fruit smoothie if I’m craving something sweet early in the day!

If you want something sweet in the morning choose a more healthy alternative like baked oats or a smoothie. But also not buying it or keeping it out of the house is very helpful.

I personally don’t love cereal/ having the same thing every day I like to switch it up so I look forward to something different every day. But if your just having it one day like a Saturday your not gonna be sluggish it should be fine. That or have a cup of cereal with almond milk and then a side of fruits and go on a walk soon after so you don’t feel to sluggish from a sugary meal. To be quiet honest as long as your not eating it more than 3 days in a week and aren’t over doing your sugar intake in one day you should be fine.

There are so many other nourishing and fulfilling choices that are yummier and more wholesome! It will fuel you and keep you wide awake; no sugar crashes here!

Sometimes, it is fine to eat sugary cereal. If you want to refrain from eating it, you can eat fruits, those that have more sugar. Hope taht helps! 😆

I think about it this way... sweet cravings are small and short while savory things satisfy you longer. When I do eat sugary things though, I don’t feel guilty about it because it’s what my body needed at that time.

Hmm… maybe try eating granola, yogurt, and fruit instead? It’s the same essential parts of a sugary cereal, but with less sugar and more nutrients. Hope this helps!

I don’t go cold turkey on the unhealthy things I do love eating. I buy it at a time I think I deserve it, like a reward for a job well done. But I don’t overdo it. I don’t say, "I finished the dishes, I’m going to buy a treat." Save for a more worthy accomplishment so it encourages me to complete more important tasks. I find myself slipping into an extremely unsatisfied place when I deny myself of things all the time. So, knowing I could have it one day if I choose it as a treat, then I can. That really helps me in my aim to completely or mostly cut it out.

I’ve there been there... What u should do I simple Just replace sugary Cereals with foods high in protein for breakfast and you’ll definitely feel more productive during the day

usually when I want a snack it’s because I haven’t had a proper meal yet. so I will sit looking at the snack, tell myself that I shouldn’t have it and that it unhealthy. then I’ll go make a proper meal.
