Are there any easy and quick weight loss tips to help me lose weight and avoid bingeing on sweets?

1. If you love your sweets, have a lean salad for lunch or dinner and save the meal’s calories for a full dessert. Do this once in a while.

2. Which type of person are you: Are you better once you make up your mind you will do better without sweets and don’t keep them around your house? Or are you better at eating a limited amount of sweets per day? One RD reported that most of her clients picked the latter. They find they can avoid bingeing after a few days. You can have your cake and eat it too in small moderation.

3. Does your family want a sweet treat every night? Strike a balance between healthy choices. One choice can be low-fat icecream with fruit or another choice can be just fruit with a dollop of whipped cream. Allow them some “free will” but keep with your healthy choices.

4. If you really want to avoid sweets and live without them, try to avoid them for 2 weeks. Hard, but your cravings will vanish. You may even find after a few days the cravings are gone.

5. Eat more fruit throughout the day. A person who gets enough fruit in their diet, tend not to have a raging sweet tooth.

6. You can eat your sweets but carve out about 150-200 calories per day to include your sweets. This amounts to about an ounce of chocolate, half a slice of cake and 1/2 c of regular icecream. Sit down and savor every bite.

7. If you must eat sweets, try these: sugar-free hot cocoa, frozen red grapes, fugesicles, sugar-free gum, hard candy. Sip or eat them slowly and enjoy. How about those 100 calorie packs that are sold now.
