Gum

I have a baaaaaaad habit of feeling like I need a sweet treat after I eat.  Trying to watch my food intake, that can pose a problem.  So I have been experimenting with a trick I heard somewhere along the way….chewing a stick of gum after a meal to cleanse my palete and tide over my sweet-tooth.

My gum of choice is Extra Dessert Delights, Mint Chocolate Chip.  I know, it sounds like a really gross combination for gum, but I just LOVE it!  It is just enough of a chocolate and mint combo without being too overpowering on either flavor.  It gives me just enough sweet to kill my desire to eat something sweet after I eat.  So far it’s worked for me!!!  Let me know if it works for you and what your flavor of choice is.  :o)
