I have a sweet tooth and I am getting fat! What should I do?

I like soda, cookies, and cake and I don't have no healthy food to eat.

I have a sweet tooth and I am getting fat! What should I do?
Chew sugar-free gum.





You may think it sounds silly, but that's what I did and I lost 15 lbs. of excess weight because I had a sweet tooth, similar to you.





I do not keep sweets in the house. If they are not there, I won't go make a special trip for them when I have late night munchies.





If I have to give into my sweet tooth - I eat dried fruit (contains sugar, but it's better for you than sweet junk food) and fresh fruit, and/or yogurt.





Trust me - it may not seem like it... but eventualy you will stop CRAVING the things you speak of. Granted, every now and then it's okay to have something, but don't fool yourself.... if you start up again, you will continue wanting those very things that are adding calories!!

Reply:every time you want a snack, think what will happen in one month or so. would you regret making this decision? also, exercise really helps. drinking a lot of water is supposed to help someone eat less too.

Reply:i'day conrinue to eat what ever you want just brush your teeth alot %26amp; exercise you you can burn off all that extra stuff...
Reply:you have to train yourself to eat different and healthier. I was a pepsi freak. I drank about 2 2liters a day. If i went a whole day with out drinking pop i would get really bad headaches. I meet this guy and somehow, i got me to stop drinking pop. Well first i started drinking diet pop. He told me that it takes 21 days for your taste buds to change, he said if i forced myself to drink diet pepsi after a couple of weeks i wouldnt be able to tell the difference. I tried and it work. After a while i couldnt tell the difference. Then after a while he said that he was going to get me to stop drinking diet pop. So now i dont drink pop at all. I drink water mostly. And i'am starting to eat better to. I eat smaller portions every 2 hours, and i really dont be hungry, it's alot healthier, and i'am losing weight. It's just a mental thing. You just have to change one step at a time. You can do it.
Reply:You don't necessarily have to eat heathy to slim down.





Do the following:





1. Instead of stocking up lots of fatty food at one time, split the meal times into 5 or 6 times a day. Be sure to drink water to help reducing the mass of that extra glucose. This keeps your metabolism going, so your body doesn't store the unused fat.





2. Exercise a little everyday.





3. Like recommended, don't eat so much fat food. On top of that, these are the "indestructable fat". They don't really get broken down by your body's enzymes, so they pile up in your arteries %26amp; veins and cause you to have cardiac arrest later.
Reply:It isn't as simple as "Just stop eatting". Try substituting your food with heathly alternatives. I'm not saying instead of carrot cake eat a carrot. Try looking for 100 calorie packs of oreo's instead of eatting the big double stuff bag. If you stick to smaller portions and prehaps lower calorie food, you should be alright. If not, try to partake in new activities. Find something you REALLY love to do....I find myself being overweight, that going to the gym gets boring, but instead, I'll go out and play some sports. When you're having fun, it doesn't seem like exercise is that bad. You might even forget you're working out. And last thing....don't STRESS about it, stress causes you to gain more weight than you should be.... which isn't helping the problem.





Good luck, don't worry, you arn't alone.
Reply:Whenever I have a craving for sweets and I just want to nibble, I grab a bag of sugar snap peas. They're slightly sweet and fun to mindlessly chew on while watching tv. As for sodas, just switching to non-carbonated drinks helps more than you know. Try lightly sweetened teas, or fruitdrinks.
Reply:stop eating and go 2 the store!
Reply:As someone who recently started dieting and exercising regularly.... I know it ISN'T easy to change a routine. What I did to kind of ween myself off the sweets was to switch to Weight Watchers! They have great snack foods also! However... You can have any kind of snack/sweets.... IN MODERATION... Know your limits. Never over-indulge! Throw away all the sweets, soda, cakes, and cookies and go to the grocery store and buy fruits, veggies, DIET SODA.... Better yet, no soda. WATER is great. As well as juices. It really is about a lifestyle change... If you're SERIOUS about it, you will get to the point where the sweets aren't as tempting. Good luck!!!
Reply:Excersise fatty.
Reply:I love sweets to. One way i cure my chocolate craving is those equate drinks cuz i dont like slimfast but it helps. I just put it on ice. if u eat lots of sweets reward yourself like on the weekends. use the mini candy bars. Trust me i just went thru the same thing.
