Ways to shake sugar cravings<br />
By JESSICA BELASCO<br />
San Antonio Express-<strong>News</strong><br />
Sodas, candy, frosted<br />
cakes — sugary food and<br />
beverages are fueling America’s<br />
obesity problem, and<br />
it’s time for us to take action.<br />
That’s according to a new<br />
statement by the American<br />
Heart Association recommending<br />
that Americans cut<br />
back on their daily intake of<br />
added sugars (sugars added<br />
to foods during processing<br />
or preparation or added at a<br />
meal).<br />
Our average daily intake<br />
of added sugars is 22.2 teaspoons<br />
(355 calories), but<br />
women shouldn’t eat more<br />
than about 6 teaspoons a<br />
day (<strong>10</strong>0 calories or about<br />
25 grams), and men should<br />

Congratulations On Your Opening!<br />
We welcome you<br />
to the Plainview<br />
medical<br />
community!<br />
consume no more than 9<br />
teaspoons (150 calories or<br />
about 37.5 grams), according<br />
to the AHA.<br />
But eating less sugar is<br />
easier said than done. For<br />
some of us, the call of jellybeans<br />
and sodas is too powerful<br />
to ignore.<br />
So how can we deal with<br />
sugar cravings? It helps<br />
to understand what causes<br />
them in the fi rst place.<br />
We tend to crave sugar<br />
when we’re hungry, because<br />
it’s a quickly absorbed<br />
source of energy. Often,<br />
skipping meals or eating too<br />
little can trigger that craving.<br />
“People think they have<br />
a personality quirk. ‘Oh, I<br />
have a sweet tooth.’ <strong>The</strong>y<br />
just don’t eat enough breakfast<br />
and lunch,” says regis-<br />
tered dietitian Nancy Clark,<br />
author of “Nancy Clark’s<br />
Sports Nutrition Guidebook”<br />
(Human Kinetics, $19.95).<br />
“When you’re starving, you<br />
don’t want an apple, you<br />
want apple pie.”<br />
Instead of making dinner<br />
the biggest meal of the day,<br />
try eating a large breakfast<br />
— about 500-600 calories<br />
— to give you the energy<br />
you need to properly start the<br />
day, Clark says. <strong>The</strong>n avoid<br />
a rumbling stomach by eating<br />
a small snack every four<br />
hours or so.<br />
If wolfi ng down sugary<br />
snacks has become a habit,<br />
try to replace them with<br />
fruit, which contains plenty<br />
natural sugar, or a light<br />
yogurt containing a sugar<br />
