I've been attempting to eat better while I have been going to the gym over the last few months. However, is there any way to overcome cravings for sugars or other confectioneries that are bad for you? Everytime I'm done my gym workout or eating well for a day or two, I get this huge urge to devour a sack of cookies. Is there any secrets to avoid such issues?

Sugar is poison and an addictive drug too

Do you feel hungry or is it craving? If hungry, eat something better, if craving for sugar, drink a glass of juice.

I've found sugar makes me crave more sugar. It's a vicious cycle. As hard as it is t first, cutting sugar out entirely works better for me than trying to ration it.
Also, do eat to satiety from time to time. If you're craving sugar post-workout it's probably just your body telling you it's hungry in the way it's used to.
Satiety likely means more protein and fat. You don't have to go full keto, but be aware fat helps you feel full, which is one reason carnivore/Atkins/keto have fans.

Just eat dark chocolate (at least 70%) if you're craving sugar.

This sounds like good advice. Cutting sugar entirely sounds rough - treating myself with two cookies and a cup of tea post-supper meals have been long ingrained in my habits, so going cold turkey is gonna be rough. Glad you're not recommending Keto (it's all I hear about from others supposedly "fit" people I know).

Dark chocolate eh? That may work in theory…

I don't see anything wrong with that.

Check out a book called the Power of Habit. I'd say when you get a craving you should immediately do something like drink water and eat some fruit or something. If you get a craving and you just continue doing whatever you're doing, you will just keep thinking about it and the craving will get more intense and you are way more likely to give in. Basically you have to reroute the feedback loop in your brain with an activity other than eating cookies and over time you'll crave cookies less and less

Potassium helps with sugar cravings. You need to eat a ton of greens to get it, since bananas have so many carbs. It's actually pretty hard to get the amount of potassium you need.

Your body may be craving certain nutrients and you are accidentally filling that craving with sugar instead.
I have a similar thing anytime I bake cookies with molasses vs store bought with just sugar.
The molasses cookies contain way less sugar yet they attract me more and actually satisfy the craving rather than leave me wanting more.
Molasses has tons of iron and other nutrients extracted from normal white sugar. If you want an easy first step I guess replace all white with brown sugar but next is experimenting with molasses, malt, etc to get your nutrients instead of a sugar bomb.
Make sure to get blackstrap molasses instead of fancy molasses though.

Instead of cookies, make your own snacks.
like maybe some nuts and seeds and pieces of 100% dark chocolate and some oats and molasses or dates just food processor it and press into delicious bars. You can still get fat if you eat too many but it's much more guilt free than actual white flour and oil and all the crap in normal cookies.

also honey and maple syrup taste good, yes. But they're shit. very simple sugars, all nasty weight gain, no real benefit. Just use molasses, or grind up some dates (after you check them for pits. ALWAYS CHECK FOR PITS, EVEN IN PITTED ONES. medjool dates taste best) in the food processor with a little water, or maybe even dry figs. I rather have the better natural and more complex sugars tbh.

I used to think like this but it doesn't actually work. good fats are important, but alone they will leave you craving eventually.
>eat shit loads of eggs lol
no…

There you go autist. Make sure you treat this as a snack and not a meal, Rich may be dead and was a wrong about a lot but he was right about a lot too.

The only way to get rid of it completely is to cut out all carbs, since all carbs are sugar, when you eat carbs you get craving for more sugar/carbs.
Embrace carnivorepill!

Snack olive oil, ++quality coconut oil or butter instead of sugar.
Not super tasteful but satiating without carbs.

No it doesn't, vice versa actually.
>which is one reason carnivore/Atkins/keto have fans
The reason is fat is tasty and these tell people they can eat more fat.

Eat more leafy greens, I mean like a large salad with every meal. You probably dont have enough fiber in your diet.
