Learn the secret to combat sweet tooth

By: Chalene Johnson

Don't deny yourself. Just plan for your sweet treat. Once in a while, have a lower-cal lunch or dinner, and save the meal's calories for your dessert.
Get rid of temptations. If you have no willpower against chocolate cupcakes, but your kids love them, stop buying them. It doesn't make you a bad parent. Find a healthier alternative or something you can easily resist.
Make a deal. If your family thinks they need a very sweet treat every night, try to strike a balance between offering healthy choices and allowing them some "free will." Compromise with low-fat ice cream and fruit, or sometimes just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream.
Try two weeks without sweets. It's amazing how your cravings vanish.
Eat more fruit. A person who gets enough fruit in his diet doesn't have a raging sweet tooth.
