Taming your sweet tooth
(HealthDay News) -- The occasional sweet treat is fine. But if your sweet tooth acts up daily, there are things you can do to help keep your cravings in check.
Try this advice:
- Eat lots of fiber to help you feel full, and include some fruits and berries to enjoy something sweet.
- Keep only a single serving of chocolate or other high-calorie sweet on hand.
- Avoid vending machines.
- Prepare homemade trail mix, including pretzels, nuts and dried fruit.
- Eat your sweet treat slowly, savoring and enjoying each bite so you feel better satisfied.
