It hits 3pm and the sugar crash starts, the biscuit jar starts muttering "just have one". I mean we're all guilty of it (including me ).

Here are our 3 tips to stop yourself from reaching for the biscuits...

1. Cut sugar out completely - craving sugar is just the same as craving nicotine and caffeine. It's a habit and we don't actually need it. By cutting it out completely our brain no longer craves that naughty little substance! It's going to be a struggle for the first week but you will notice fewer cravings and energy slumps.

2. Be prepared, or prepare to fail - Keep nuts, dried fruit or a banana in your draw. If you're craving sugar just reach for one of these. Replace the bad habit with one that benefits you.

3. Have a glass of water, we often crave sweet things when we're thirsty, so glugging down a big glass of H2O will flush that craving away.
