    WHEN IM CRAVING SUMTHN SWEET I PUT IT N MY MOUTH CHEW IT UP & THEN SPIT IT OUT. SOUNDS CRAZY BT IT WORKS FA ME. I JUX ENJOY THE TASTE ON MY TONGUE. I ACTUALLY GET MY SUGAR FIX WITHOUT INGESTING IT

    You do know digestion begins at the mouth? Salivary amylase begins to break down carbs into glucose for absorption. You're still getting calories from carbs even if you spit out the rest of the food. :trollface:

    I'm the same way with queso/cheese dip - you know, that stuff with velveeta and rotel? I'm addicted. I don't keep it in the house at all, unless it's a special occasion (my grandmother used to make it for Thanksgiving, so we eat it once a year). I am, thankfully, not that interested in sweets like cookies or cake, but for me it makes a difference to eat one cookie that's much better quality. For example, if I buy ice cream (rare), I like it to be really high quality pure chocolate. I only need a few bites because the richness satisfies my sweet tooth more than 20 oreos. If you need sweets, I'd say go for the best quality you can afford and really spend time savoring how delicious it is (I know, I know - easier said than done!). Unfortunately for me, there is not a "premium" cheese dip!

    I use cookies as add-ins. I'll buy a pack of 6 oreos, put one in a plastic baggie, bring it to work and crush it up into my greek yogurt with PB2. When my friends look at my diary they ask how I ate one oreo. That's how.
