You're born with a sweet tooth so cravings are natural. The average American consumes between twelve and twenty teaspoons of added sugar everyday. But as long as you keep portions small, sugar shouldn't be a problem. Decide when you really enjoy sugar and when you might be able to find a substitute such as fresh fruit on cereal and beverages flavored with artificial sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners provide fewer calories and the sweet taste.
Fruit gives you the sweetness you crave and lots of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
