Night time is when I get the worst sugar cravings and often I will satisfy my sweet tooth with things like cookies, cake, ice cream, or rice krispy treats. Since starting this sugar wean in January, I've noticed that besides wanting the sugar, I'll eat the sweets at night just out of pure habit.
So, the other day, when I was up late blogging and wanted to eat a granola bar or a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich bar, "I tried something new" for the #foodrevolution and cracked open a can of tuna to get some protein and Omegas.
Awhile back, I remember my ND telling me to eat protein instead of a sugar at night because the body is dropping blood sugar and what it actually needs is protein and not sugar although that is what we crave. Of course, did I follow that advice? Um-no.
But for one day, I did, and it was fine. Eating the tuna certainly wasn't like eating a cookie but my cravings did go away, and I felt good that I made a conscious effort and took a tiny action to break one of my sugar habits. We'll take a win for any little victory we can get :)
