Its cinnamon! It's said to help curb sugar cravings. And, at least with me, it helps greatly. It tasts sweet enough that I feel like I've had a sweet and I'm satisfied.

Sugar is so addictive!!

My cravings for sweet things has vanished since cutting out fructose from diet. I've also found that I am much more easily satisfied after eating a regular meal...my appetite regulating hormones are now free to do their job. Check out Sweet Poison if you are interested in how sugar causes obesity. It is my main strategy for weight loss. http://sweetpoison.com.au

Beat the "Boyfriend Phenomenon"

Just a quick tip to allow small indulgences without having to avoid the man in your life who likes to always take you out to dinner, or bring home your favorite fruit smoothie from the local ice creamery .

My BF has a habit of picking up fruit smoothies for us when he comes home from playing ball at the YMCA. Instead of refusing his kindness I break the calories down with my $0.69 Popsicle mold from the Dollar tree.

That medium McDonalds Strawberry Banana smoothie become 10 frozen treats!

Help against the sweet tooth

I have problems with my sweet tooth.
But it is a fact that cinnamon can help against it! So when I have a sweet tooth attack that just won't go away I take a apple and quarter it and sprinkle some cinnamon on it. Eating the apple slowly you can just feel the sweet tooth go away.
