The expert further listed some tips to manage sugar cravings:

*Incorporate protein and fibre-rich foods in your breakfast, such as eggs, plain Greek yoghurt, or unsweetened oatmeal.
*If you’re craving a sweet treat, try eating a piece of fresh fruit first.
*Slowly decrease your consumption of sweetened beverages, like soda, sports drinks, and sweet coffee, and ensure you’re drinking enough water.
*Make sure you eat balanced meals containing protein, veggies, and other healthy carbs and fats. This will keep you fuller for longer and stabilise your blood sugar.

“If you manage to resist, the cravings will get weaker over time and eventually disappear,” she said.
