Hi,
I am ALWAYS craving sugar! This wouldn't be so bad, but I have braces now and have to stop eating it :S I tried eating small amounts but it is still messing up my teeth so I have to stop almost entirely. But I'm so weak, lol, and always eat food with a high sugar content! How can I stop, or at least lessen, the cravings and eat less sugar? I don't like fruit so please don't suggest that :)

Hi there,

Well i've just recently come across this amazing new herb called Stevia..its a natural replacement for sugar. Its derived from a plant, and you just need the smallest amount to make things sweet! You can either buy it whole, or now they are even packaging it just like Splenda and Sweet n Low packets. The best thing is it isn't an aspartame product of any kind, its natural. So if you enjoy your sweets like me, you can definitely have fun with it, baking some goodies or adding it on top of your favorite snack. I know its being sold at natural health food stores, and i've actually seen the packets sold in a box of 100's at my local grocery store. I hope you have a chance to try it, you won't regret it! (Fruit...who wants that as a naughty indulgence!!)
