We all love good cookie, crave chocolate at some point, and can't say no to ice cream (anyone who claims they can is a liar!).  And there's nothing wrong with indulging every now and again and getting dessert.  But when you can¡¦t control your urge to eat just one brownie, you've got a big problem.  Much like the Cookie Monster, you've got yourself a sweet tooth.

Sugar is in a lot of the foods we eat (you'd be surprised how many!), it also is what your body stores as fat.  While sugar does give your body something to convert into energy, the extra is stored in fat cells.

There're all sorts of sugar free goodies that taste a lot like the real deal, without the potential tooth decay and fat storage from sugar (although anything in excess is bad for you).  Check out the labels to see just how much sugar you're getting when you eat just one cookie or that late night ice cream sundae.  You probably knew there was sugar in it, but just how much?

Fruit has natural sugar in it and is sweet, so that can help curb your sugar cravings.  Plus, with endless choices of sugar free stuff, you'll be able to get your fix without realizing you haven't eaten any sugar.  Don't let your sweet tooth get the best of you.  Enjoy a brownie or a piece of cake every once in a while, but certainly not every day.
