Fresh fruit, protein shakes, and almond butter satisfy my craving for sweets most of the time. I include it as part of my evening meal. I agree with the lemon-water trick-it can take the edge off. I’ve also made applesauce in the microwave with cinnamon and nutmeg. When I took a bite of something forbidden recently, it was not as good as I remembered-I actually spit it out!. I have much better control now that I have slowed down and actually taste what I eat. I wish that I could chew gum. It always sticks to my braces, so I’ve given up on it.
Diet doesn't have to be boring
