Limit sugar to only 1 or 2 fruit a day. Berries like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are low glycemic and are a healthier option if you would like to enjoy something sweet. However, if you are in the sugar cycle, it is hard to quit, even if it is natural sugar from dates. If there is a craving for something sweet after meals, wait for 20 minutes after a meal and have a herbal tea or lemon water instead. Waiting a bit after a meal is not too hard because your body is already nourished. And to your surprise, once the 20 minutes pass, you might no longer want the sweets. I enjoy herbal tea or neem powder in warm water after. So this is basically a 20 minute self control practice. There are a lot of things you can do for 20 minutes to distract yourself from the craving. For example taking a walk or doing some household chores.
