TUESDAY Fill up on fibre

Feeling hungry? That’s your cravings talking. If you eat a lot of sugar, it can alter hunger and fullness cues, making you crave more of it. This is one of the first withdrawal symptoms you might notice. Eating plenty of high-fibre foods can help. How? ‘Fibre keeps blood sugar levels stable, and as it leaves your stomach more slowly, it will aid in fullness and help prevent cravings,’ says nutritionist, Alex Glover*. Switch your toast and jam for porridge with apple and cinnamon to help keep you full until lunch, while still getting that hit of sweetness you crave.
