whats your secret? sweet tooth deiters

I bake a lot less now but when I do I give most of it away. I try not to keep it in the house. For chocolate cravings those 100 calorie dark chocolate bars at Trader Joe's are nice! I savor it a lot more now.
Sucking on a candy & that mint chocolate chip desserts gum help too!

Coffee helps cure my sweet tooth. Also grapes and pretzels together is an awesome combo that cures my salty/sweet craving. Another trick is do some exercise and then if you still want it after that, then have it in moderation.

There are a lot of us out there with a large sweet tooth. Very difficult to have when you are trying to eat healthy. So I ask you all to contribute to this post with your secret to keeping your sweet tooth under control.

I personally, a chocoholic, buy a few bars of basic chocolate bars. Keep them in the fridge somewhere I can't see every time I open the fridge. Whenever I get a craving I break off a small peice. Once, maybe twice a day. Takes some willpower but elimates rebound eating.

Eat sweets in moderation and fit them into your diet! I eat ice cream every day and it doesn't affect anything.

I like the Fiber One brownies. 90 cal each, very sweet and chocolaty and stands in for a meal.
Berkley and Jensen's chocolate covered raisins, 5 for 30 cal.
Trader Joe's lemon squares, ice cream bars, 60 cal each...

I can list a lot of low cal desserts, the problem is to eat reasonable quantities and not over do it just because they are low cal, otherwise the numbers will just add up. Sometimes I find that it's better to just not start at all. It's really hard to convince myself to only eat 5 of those chocolate covered raisins once the can is open.
