Message: <blockquote data-quote="catinahat" data-source="post: 2704010" data-attributes="member: 155453">For me getting rid of my sweet tooth was harder than giving up smoking.The way I went about it was similar to how I stopped smoking but without any chocolate patches, I don't think there is any real help out there.I just went cold turkey, stopped everything sweet, no alternatives like artificial sweetener or diet drinks.Not going to lie, I was miserable for weeks, absolutely nothing tasted right especially drinks like tea and coffee. I really missed my morning cuppa, drank fruit tea instead but it's just not the same. Eventually I started to notice the sweetness in things I never associated with being sweet, tomatoes for example, no wonder people see their bs rise after eating them. Another suprise was coffee, I could actually taste the difference between brands, some are way too bitter, others quite sweet even without sugar. It's tough but eventually your tastes change, it took a while but even my morning cuppa is back to being my favourite drink of the day.Thing is I don't know how anyone could help with that unless they followed you around shouting "step away from the cake" It's something only you can do. If you don't buy it, you can't eat it, there were whole sections of the supermarket's I had to avoid like the plague because biscuits, chocolate cakes and pastries would mysteriously find their way into my trolley.</blockquote>
