The way to curb a sweet tooth is just by not allowing yourself to eat sweets. It's hard at first, but after a while, you adjust.

I'm diabetic, and before I found out, I wanted to eat sweets all of the time, and I often did. I was also into the whole vegetarian thing.

Eat fruits, or sugar-free stuff. Eventually, you'll get used to it.

A lot of times that indicates that we are lacking something in our diet.
I get that, but I find that taking required daily doses of Vitamin C helps. I also have a glass of fruit juice in the morning and I try to balance my meals out more.

Another thing you might try is to maybe drink more water. Sometimes we crave sweets when we are not getting enough fluids or sometimes our bodies make us think we are hungry when we are thirsty.

An occasional sweet is not sinful, but eating lots everyday is sinful ;)


Try eating low fat flavored yogurt, it comes in many flavors and is good for you, or have a "Whey protein milkshake" (Whey protein and milk).
If you must have candy, eat hard candy like "Jolly Ranchers". If you must have candy bars eat the "Protein bars for bodybuilders".
Also sugar free gum, and if you look i'm sure you can find alot of other sugar free snacks. Good Luck.
