Cut Back on Sweets and Sweeteners

You already gave up on candy, cookies and all the rest of the sweets that got you where you are. Now reduce the artificial sweeteners and products that use them. Fake sugars keep keep sweetness on your taste buds and mind, making it a temptation and a problem. You may have noticed how you can reduce salt and not miss it on food. The same can happen with sweets. Just eliminate sweets entirely for a week at first, then minimize them later. You’ll probably find that some foods are sweeter than you thought. I was amazed how sweet plain iceburg lettuce is. Okay it’s no Hershey bar, but it gives you that sweet taste of dieting success.
