    Same here. After lunch I crave for something sweet.
    I keep raisins, dry apricots handy.
    One apricot or 2-3 raisins satisfy my craving.

    When really craving if can’t control I try having few pieces of any one of these
    1. Amla dried candy
    2. Dried cranberries
    3. 1-2 peanut chikki
    4. Sunkist Tart sweet gems
    5. Clementines
    6. Oranges
    7. Spiced Buttermilk
    8. Sonf/ cloves/ elaichi few pieces
    Or finally I brush my teeth that stops it.

    Having protein filled diet with equal balance of spices helps me in cutting down sweet cravings

    Read a lot and lot about the ill effects of sweets. Read about the worst sufferings of diabetics and obese people. It should definitely kill your sweet tooth a bit. Hyping the ill effects and negative consequences helps many to drastically reduce their cravings. A bit of negative technique:)

    Check your thyroid n insulin level. Check if your everyday meal is a balanced meal with required protein, carbs, good fats n nutrients n that it doesn't include fried foods, pickles. Include a lot more vegetables.

    Drink water or eat a piece of dark chocolate really slowly. Or try a sugar candy which will melt slowly in your mouth for a few minutes. Eat ginger candy.

    Eating more number of banana right after a meal (they are high in calories) n eating food with sugar can increase the calories, weight n health issues.

    What do sugar cravings mean?
