The easiest way to resist temptation is to not have it come after you
Satisfying them with yummy substitutes: Make a list of the things that you love and swap them for something equally delicious but healthier. Instead of ice cream at 270 cals have a 92 cal cup of sorbet. = Tricking yourself with spices: Dreaming of sugar? Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on your oatmeal will satisfy your sweet taste buds and turn off the craving. Pining for salt? Use ginger or cilantro on veggies or chicken instead = Chewing Gum: Popping a stick of sugar free chewing gum makes it a million times easier to pass on treats. When you chew it your taste buds signal the brain saying No thank you i'm already enjoying something sweet. = Choosing sour tastes to cancel something sweet: When the cookies are calling you. Bite into a dill pickle. Sour flavors cut off our desire for sweets almost instantly.
