How do you stop yourself from eating sweet things?

Recently I've been craving biscuits and ice-cream, but since I'm trying to lower my body fat percentage, I can't be doing that. Hahaha What do you usually do when those cravings take hold?

I’ve been on the Whole30 eating plan and the primary objective behind it is to change your food cravings thus cutting out sweets, grains, dairy,
It eventually resets your pallet for the taste of foods

@SW-User I follow the paleo diet, which is very similar. It has complete reset my palate, and the foods I used to really enjoy, don't seem satisfying to me anymore. But every so often I will crave biscuits and ice-cream. It's really bizarre to me. I think it's because I see this food. I live in a place where I'm not able to fully control what we buy, so I can't just not buy it.

@lauriethecolourful this Whole30 is paleo with vegan..
I know exactly what you’re talking about.
I don’t crave sweets like I used to but I still do breads from time to time

I substitute by eating fruits and nuts. Not a big quantity but enough to keep me sated so that I dont binge on unhealthy sweet stuff.

All things in moderation ... Distract myself with something else :)

I’m diabetic. I don’t want complications where I someday have to have my feet and legs amputated. It’s strong motivation to watch my diet.
