How I beat my sugar cravings with super-easy Indian kitchen hacks

I used to crave sweets every day, until I tried these desi tricks. Here’s what worked for me.

Natural, guilt-free

Protein-rich breakfast

Poha, eggs, moong dal chilla, and paneer with veggies became my new staples. 

More protein = fewer cravings by 11 AM and steady energy through the day.

1

High-fibre fruits

Fresh fruits rich in water and fibre, like oranges, apples, and berries, are my mid-morning fix.

Their fibre kept me full longer and reduced sugar spikes that often triggered cravings.

2

Mulethi (licorice) water

This sweet drink calmed my digestion and my sweet tooth. 

One glass in the afternoon, and no need for evening biscuits.

3

Rajgira (amaranth) laddoos

Soft, sweet, and rich in fibre and iron.

They replaced chocolate and gave me sustained energy without the sugar crash.

4

Just one pinch in my oats, dal, sabzi, or tea kept my sugar levels steady.

Dalchini (cinnamon) delight

Cinnamon calmed my cravings before they turned into mindless munching.

5

Taaza jeera pani

Turns out, sweet cravings often look like thirst. 

Jeera water kept my cravings in check and helped me focus better throughout the day.
