The story of how eating honey stopped my daily craving for sweets

Even when I'm not tired, for some reason, my hands move on their own.

I find myself opening the drawer, looking for something sweet.

Even though I had decided not to eat any today.

Even though I had been able to control myself for a while.

I intended to have just one bite, but before I knew it, I couldn't stop.

Every time that happens, I think: am I just weak-willed?

But at the same time, I had another feeling.

If I restrain myself too much, my body protests with lethargy.

My head feels foggy, and I have no energy.

So, in the end, I have no choice but to eat.

Maybe this isn't an opponent I can defeat with willpower alone.

It's okay to feel that way.

I was able to improve things with 'honey'.

Today, I'd like to talk about that.

The reason you can't stop eating sweets is related to how the brain works

Sweets are something that easily become a reward for the brain.

Sugar and sweetness easily stimulate circuits related to pleasure and a sense of security, and they lift your mood in a short amount of time.

That's why the brain remembers.

Tired? Have something sweet. Bored? Have something sweet. Feeling down? Have something sweet.

The more this learning progresses, the more a single bite becomes a trigger, making it easier for the binge-eating switch to turn on.

The important thing here is that people with strong cravings for sweets are not
weak-willed.

In fact, the more hardworking you are, the easier it is to fall into a loop of restraint and backlash.

States known as sugar addiction, sugar dependency, or runaway appetite are often caused by
structural factors rather than a lack of willpower.

The reason you cannot keep up with restraint might be blood sugar spikes and the resulting backlash.

Cutting out sweets completely.

At first glance, this seems like the correct solution.

However, when your body feels a lack of energy, it can bounce back
as a strong craving.

Feeling sluggish, sleepy, unable to concentrate, or irritable.

When such signs appear, the brain seeks the shortest route to energy.

In other words, carbohydrates.

What tends to happen here is a blood sugar spike.

If you suddenly eat something sweet, your blood sugar rises, and when it drops, you want
something sweet again.

This wave makes it easy to create the sensation that you cannot stop eating sweets.

In short, it is not that you lack self-control, but that the waves are too large.

A list of realistic measures that do not rely on willpower

Instead of quitting sweets, make it harder for the uncontrollable state to occur.

This is the key point.

〇 First, do not skip meals

If you make your breakfast or lunch too light, your craving for sweets is likely to explode in the evening.

〇 Increase your protein and fat intake slightly
This helps sustain a sense of satisfaction and prevents runaway appetite.

○ Do not eat sweets on their own
If possible, pair them with nuts, yogurt, or eat them after a meal to smooth out blood sugar spikes.

○ Create an environment that avoids the trigger of that first bite
Even just keeping them out of sight or not in an easily accessible place can be effective.

○ Create outlets for stress other than sweets
Increase habits that calm the brain, such as taking walks, deep breathing, bathing, or short naps.

Dealing with sweets is not about strengthening willpower, but about adjusting conditions.

Changing the system lasts longer than binding yourself with rules.

It might be correct that honey helped me settle down.

Recently, eating honey has made me stop craving sweets every day.

There is a reason for this feeling.

While honey provides high satisfaction as a sweetener, it is also
easy to regulate the amount. (You can feel satisfied with a small amount)

And it is possible that I shifted my direction toward satisfying
cravings with a small amount rather than cutting out sweets entirely.

This is important.

Do not make sweets the villain.

Do not blame yourself.

On top of that, adjust things so that your desires do not run wild.

Honey is not a cure-all, but it might have been the compromise
that suited my body and brain.

Rather than quitting sweets, make peace with them.

You can't stop eating sweets.

That is not laziness or weakness, but perhaps the result of
the overlap between brain learning and the body's energy situation.

Therefore, the answer is not grit, but design.

How you eat, timing, life's rhythms, stress, and environment.

As you gradually adjust those areas, it becomes harder to trigger the binge-eating switch.

Finally, I try to rephrase it like this.

Instead of suppressing my sweet tooth, I am cultivating a self that is not swayed by cravings for sweets.

The experience of feeling settled thanks to honey is the first step toward that.
