Here are some really strong allies in your battle against sugar cravings. Buy and use lots of sweet vegetables, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and onions. Turnips, beets and parsnips are good too. These sweet vegetables satisfy our bodies' desire for sweet flavor. Eat a lot of them for three weeks and you will want less refined sugar products.
Many people find they taste too sweet after a while.
The green vegetables are important too, especially the leafy ones. The versatile onion becomes sweeter the longer it is cooked. Saute slowly, when onions are soft add a few drops of cold pressed olive or sesame oil. Add these to grain dishes, soups and any other cooked vegetables. Cook the vegetables in water with a bit of sea salt.
