Chewing Gum instead of sweets

If I get the munchies and start craving the sweets, I head for sugar free gum. It takes care of the chewing motion and the hint of sweet in the gum satisfies the sweet craving. When all the flavor is gone, my jaw got a workout, and I no longer crave sweets.

Sweet Cravings

When I start craving sweets I'll grab some dried fruit instead. It satisfies my sweet craving and I get a serving of fruits. When I'm craving sweet & salty I add some nuts to the dried fruit.
