I just started reading your blog and love it so far! Here's a tip that sometimes works for me: brush your teeth right after lunch and dinner, before you have time to make a dessert. If after a few hours you're still hungry, have something else, but usually brushing my teeth is a good way to really re-evaluate and figure out if whatever I want to eat is worth going to the trouble to brush my teeth again! Also, I hate that rough stuff in the lettuce bags, too! It's bitter and gross and I don't know who enjoys it! Hi! I just started reading your blog and love it so far!

Not sure if you'll read them, but here goes... -If you eat a salty meal, you will tend to crave sweets afterwards. Have you ever noticed how much you crave dessert after eating in a regular restaurant? I have reduced my sodium, and it has helped a lot. I also try to avoid the known salt offenders (like soup and dressings) at restaurants. -Chew gum after meals -Prolong the dessert after dinner. Tell yourself you'll wait for an hour and eat something if you then truly feel like it. You could always substitute fruit. -We usually buy a small container of ice cream or some other small treat. Once that's gone, then we don't have any desserts until the next week. We just don't keep pre-made sweets around the house, not even chocolate. My husband doesn't like sweets, which helps! -Mandy I have a few ideas for you regarding the sweet tooth. Not sure if you’ll read them, but here goes…

As a sweets lover, I really enjoy sweet spins on savory foods -- like cinnamon and a touch of stevia in grains, or a little raw honey in salad dressings! Ooof, that is one gorg salad.

Sometimes I just can't control it. When I should be eating veggies...I just want a big bowl of sweet oatmeal. But whatever right, I'm going to eat what I want. Stir-fries have been my dinner almost everynight this week! So good. My sweet tooth is bad too! Sometimes I just can’t control it.
