TAMING OUR SWEET TOOTH!


Have you ever stopped to notice how often you desire something sweet? Usually it is after we eat something salty or even after a nice meal. There are additional times when we just want a quick sweet snack.


These are the times when we need to stop and realize that we have immediate choices. We can either grab something healthful or grab something without really thinking about the consequences.


That's why it's important to always have great "selections" on hand, whether at home or work when we want to satisfy our "sweet tooth".


We can purchase a few of the following on a weekly basis at the grocery store and always have them within reach whether we're at work or home.


Apples, pears, grapes, bananas, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, plums, peaches, raisins or any of your favorite fruits.


We can also pop a sugar free candy that we keep in a nearby jar at work or home.


All of these items are great choices in order to satisfy our "sweet tooth" without loading up on extra calories that our body doesn't require to be used as fuel.


Have a great Monday!
