A bit like going to the dentist and being given a sweet as a reward.Mixed up or what.<br /><br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-18415553477456492222014-01-22T14:55:02.917+00:002014-01-22T14:55:02.917+00:00@Galina: Instead of a sweet tooth, you have a savo...@Galina: Instead of a sweet tooth, you have a savoury tooth. :)<br /><br /> Very interesting video. It gives you pause when you think about the well-intention parents "rewarding" their childrens' good behaviour with sweet "treats".<br /><br />SChttp://mindunsaturated.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-40080338610268935372014-01-22T10:39:13.271+00:002014-01-22T10:39:13.271+00:00Like Galina I have found that since I now low carb...Like Galina I have found that since I now low carb my need to eat sugar has diminished.<br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-76778154933567678882014-01-22T03:40:52.951+00:002014-01-22T03:40:52.951+00:00It is individual.

I am crazy about salty flavors like prosciutto, dried salamis, tomato-based sauces, olives. It is one of reasons LCarbing doesn't leave me feel deprived. Another reason - it kills excessive appetite. Many report that LCarbing diminishes cravings for sweets as well in time. I guess for the people with a serious sweet tooth sugar substitutes could be helpful. There are compromises like bakers chocolate melted with cream and sugar substitute made into truffles, or cakes made with almond flour. Almond flour can cause a weight gain in my case, so recently I made first time in my life coconut cookies with a little bit of almond flour added - my husband ate it before the oatmeal ones I made specifically for him.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-12581484105128662432014-01-21T23:01:38.837+00:002014-01-21T23:01:38.837+00:00The taste of sugar is addictive.

If this is so then it must make it harder to reduce what is seen as bad for the body.<br /><br />RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
