Eating Too Much Sweets? Here are ways to calm the cravings

• Don't Exclude Sweets  --  total elimination of sweets completely to a healthy diet may back fire, what happens is when you exclude sweets in a diet you end up binging in a weak moment then you just feel guilty.

• Balance your Diet --   figure out how sweets can fit into healthy way, women should have no more than 6 teaspoons per day of added sugar, which is 24 grams. Cutting one soda, which is about 35 grams of sugar, saves calories you could be spending on the occasional dessert. Other ways to reduce added sugars: eliminating bottled teas, cutting back on sugary cereals and reading labels on pasta sauces, salad dressings and condiments to find ones with the least amount of added sugar possible.
