Hey friends 💬

Let's talk about something that used to stress me out big time: cutting sugar without feeling hungry all day. I've tried it all—from low-carb diets to skipping snacks—and ended up hangry more times than I'd like to admit 😂.

But good news is: I finally figured out a way to eat less sugar without starving.

So if you're trying to manage your blood sugar, lose a bit of weight, or just feel better overall—this one's for you 💛

1. Don't Skip Meals 🍽️

Skipping meals is not the way to "save carbs" or reduce sugar. In fact, it backfires. I used to skip breakfast thinking I was being "disciplined"… but by 11am, I was raiding the pantry like a raccoon 😅

Now, I always eat regular meals—3 meals a day, and sometimes a light snack in between. Keeping my energy steady means I don't get those wild cravings.

2. Add More Protein 🥚

Protein is your best friend when cutting sugar. Eggs, tofu, yogurt, chicken, lentils—they help you stay full way longer than just a piece of bread or fruit.

My go-to breakfast now? One boiled egg, a slice of whole-grain toast, and a few cherry tomatoes. Easy, tasty, and I'm full for hours.

3. Choose High-Fiber Foods 🌾

Fiber slows down how fast sugar enters your bloodstream. That means more stable energy and less hunger. Think oats, chia seeds, brown rice, quinoa, and lots of veggies.

I started swapping white rice for half-brown rice, half-quinoa, and honestly? Still delicious.

4. Healthy Fats Are Key 🥑

Don't be scared of good fats. Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil help you feel full and satisfied. I used to avoid fats because I thought they'd make me gain weight—but when I added a little peanut butter or avocado to my meals, I stayed full longer and didn't snack as much.

5. Stay Hydrated 💧

Sometimes I thought I was hungry, but I was just… thirsty! Drinking enough water helped me avoid mindless snacking. Now I keep a cute water bottle on my desk and sip throughout the day.

Bonus tip: Herbal teas are great too!

6. Snack Smart 🍎

Instead of grabbing cookies, I now reach for a boiled egg, a handful of almonds, or apple slices with peanut butter. If I'm craving something sweet, I'll go for Greek yogurt with berries. Sweet and filling!

Final Thoughts 💬

Cutting back on sugar doesn't mean you have to feel hungry all the time. I used to think it was either eat sugar or starve—but that's totally not true. It's all about balancing your meals with protein, fiber, healthy fats, and smart snacks.
