Sweet Tooth

"Is it controlling you?"

You can cause those pesky urges to vanish by addressing them with great alternatives:

Once in a while have a lean, mean salad for lunch or dinner, and save the meal's calories for a full dessert.
Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit into their diet doesn't have a raging sweet tooth.
Eat your sweets, just eat them smart! Carve out about 150 calories per day for your favorite sweet.

That amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a modest slice of cake, or 1/2 cup of regular ice cream.
Strike a balance when you feel you need a very sweet treat every night. Allow yourself healthy choices balanced with some free will, for example, compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit or fruit with a dollop of whipped cream.
Try two weeks without sweets. It will amaze you how your cravings will vanish.
