Chew Gum While You Cook And You Won'T Keep Tasting.

This Sparked Me!

Those spoonfuls add up if you keep tasting things while you cook. I make cookies at holiday time, and this keeps me from eating the cookies as I take them out of the oven. Those little tastes are hard to track and can add too much to our calorie count.

I wish I could do this but I have dental work and cannot chew gum. Any ideas, I am really trying to stop snacking but seem to do this unconsiously.

I am going to try this. It is such a simple fix.
