It doesn’t matter if you been following the Carnivore Diet for a few weeks or a few months, you will get a craving for treats. It could be a hankering for cookies, or the desire for a bowl of ice cream. So let’s discuss to how handle a sweet tooth and the Carnivore diet. These are the lessons I’ve learned along the way and want to share with you.
When it comes to your sweet tooth and the Carnivore Diet a good way to calm cravings is to drink water.
If you want to eat some candy or enjoy a treat drink some water instead. And the colder the temperature the better it tastes and satisfies. Well, that’s just me. Some people I know prefer room temperature water.
The reason why this works because this craving can be due to hunger. We tend to confuse thirst with hunger and reach for food when we should reach for a drink. Another reason this works is because we switch our focus from eating that treat to sipping water. This way we still get to put something in our mouth which is probably what we wanted in the first place.
When it comes to a sweet tooth and the Carnivore Diet a good way to deal with cravings is to go do something. That could be taking a walk outside, or work on a hobby.
For me I like to read a book or call someone I haven’t talk to for awhile to have a conversation. Doing this takes my mind off of the yearning for that piece of cake or pie. And as long as that feeling sticks around I continue to do something to make myself forget about it.
The hankering for sugar can be a sign we haven’t eaten enough fat. Thus, we’re still hungry. When this happens to me I like to eat some bacon or ground beef or another cut of fatty meat. Why? Because fat satiates. Thus, it will erase all those sugar cravings.
For a quick resolution for this tip it’s good to keep some no-sugar beef jerky or biltong in the house. That way you don’t have to spend time cooking up a piece of meat and can cure your sweet tooth fast.
If you really need to eat something sweet then dark chocolate is a good choice. However, you want to choose a dark chocolate that contains more than 90% cacao. I know some who eat the baker’s chocolate that’s 100% cacao but that’s too dark for me. I do enjoy the Sam’s Choice 90% Dark Chocolate as it doesn’t contain much sugar or one or two squares. And that’s all I need.
