Anyone Ever Successfully Conquered a Rabid Sweet Tooth?

[Cheeky Monkey]

I'm not talking about having one or two chocolate bars a day, I'm talking trawling through the cupboards at home looking for cooking chocolate or edible cake decorations because you've eaten everything else containing sugar that you can find, including making yourself multiple jam sandwiches. When I lived on my own I just wouldn't have anything sweet in the house and it worked fine, but in a family situation there is always sugar in some form around.

Anyone else? Back later, off to hunt down the chocolate-tastic digestives.

The first image that came to mind was a rabbi with a sweet tooth but growing up around Hove Park they were relatively common-place. A sweet toothed rabbit on the other hand eats carrots and you might find that these and other veggies like celery, cucumber & tomato will offer sufficient sweetness if you make up a dish of crudite to nibble on in place of puddings and sweets etc. Worked for me on a diet.

I empathise with this, absolutely.

Currently, I am on a intermittent fasting diet which are all the rage/fashion at the moment (eg the 5:2).

I'm trying the "eat only during an 8 hour window", between 11am and 7pm, diet. The rest of the time it's sugarless milkless tea, coffee, herbal tea, diet coke. During the eat period you can have some sweet stuff so you are not depriving yourself. Cravings for sugar should subside after time. If you can't go until 11am in the morning then add some virgin coconut oil to your coffee.

Many trials of intermittent fasting indicate it may help blood sugar levels, diabetes, prevent heart problems, cancer. I am a cynical type but I'm not ruling it out without trying it properly (like many nsc know-it-alls undoubtedly will).

Judging by the comment about getting notified when in stock, it seems he has already placed a massive order.

Never touch anything with Aspartame in it. Worse for a diet than sugar. Just Google it.

I'm not being funny here but how is that a diet at all? You seriously cannot go from 7pm to 11am without having to eat food? And diet coke? Really?

Be very careful with these...

Read the reviews. If you eat more then say 15 in a row you will be sh1tt1ng through the eye of a needle for a week.....

I have huge reservations about those fasting diets and I have noticed a few health professionals have begun to debunk the "science" behind it. A lot of people that do this diet may fast for the 2 days or whatever variation they have adopted but they tend not to eat very healthily on the food days. You will lose weight on it but it's not sustainable for a lifetime and if you do this fasting for any length of time you will have done some pretty harsh damage to your metabolism you will find hard to stabilise.

And before the inevitable "Don't knock it til you try it" routine I was strongly advised against it by a doctor who specialises in nutrition when I had to take advice on losing a substantial amount of weight.

As for the sweet tooth? Eat more fruit and veg, that will stop your cravings for processed sugar.

After about 4 hours of not eating the brain stops functioning efficiently, reaction times get slower, body temperature starts to drop, cell regeneration starts to slow down, your kidneys and liver functions become less efficient, drowsiness sets in, you become less responsive. That's 4 hours, god knows what shape your body will be in after 16 hours of no food!!!

I'm using that in my latest novel if you don't mind Dribble. I'll give you a couple of KitKats and a pack of Love Hearts in lieu of royalties if I ever get published.
