I hate to admit this, but I don't have a sweet tooth....I have an entire mouthful of sweet teeth. In my quest for a thin me, this is a huge burden and something I need to either overcome (yeah right) or somehow work around. Since I am strongly against the use of artificial sweeteners because 1) they all taste horrific, 2) I am not convinced of their safety, and 3) there's plenty of research saying they inhibit weight loss anyway (so what's the point?), I have found some other ideas that satisfy my cravings for all things sweet without totally breaking the calorie bank.
