Answer 1

maybe you should teach a weight control class.

Answer 2

It pisses me right off when some yahoos write a book for an answer!!!! Like how long did that take missy! The only way to stop eating sweets is by carrying a bottle of vinegar with u see a sweet pull it out fast!!!! and dump it on the sweet, that"s how I lost 200 pounds,I even have a holster for my 2 bottles,so don"t eat sweets around me!BANG!

Answer 3

What a predictament you have yourself in! Change your job. Or get some willpower! I know I worked in a bakery once, and just because I was around all that sweet stuff all the time, it totally turned me off of it. Maybe think of the consequences of what will happen if you eat that cake. Better yet, eat before you bake it!!

Answer 4

You can't. You born with a sweet tooth. I born to like savoury stuffs. Just eat in moderation & get someone to monitor you. My wife love cakes & she currently doing a cake decorating class. I must admit they are wonderful straight out of the oven.. the aroma!!!

Answer 5

haha i have a sweet tooth too...and its really difficult to resist the temptation...but i'd say that the best way is to not buy any sweets...you will have cravings yes...but you wont be able to eat it if u dont have any...but since u teach baking..wow thats gonna be tough..just eat it in small amounts and drink more water..that way you'll feel full and wont feel like eating much...good luck!!

Answer 6

Strong mental power and developing a taste for things that aren't sweet that you can snack on. Kind of like you have to "develop" a taste for beer. By developing a taste for something else you will give yourself alternatives to take their place.

Answer 7

You see a sweet, you don't eat it. Simple. It is just a decision you make and stick to. Just like any other decision you make. Like "I will not cheat on my husband"....you see a cute guy...you sigh and walk away. You simply don't do it if it is harmful to you. Ofcourse, unlike cheating on your husband, a little cake is ok...once a month or so.

Answer 8

Honestly-it's hard, but this works:
Cut out ALL carbs (bread, pasta, corn, carrots, rice, sweets) for 2 weeks and your cravings will cease to exist.

Answer 9

Stick them in the garbage disposal or toilet. Sweets can't tempt you if theyr'e not there.

Read this article and it might be a good incentive. Oh I don't eat sugar and I don't even crave it anymore.
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Because of Americans' habitual intake of excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates, sugar (carbohydrate) metabolism is a monumental problem in our civilization and diabetes mellitus is said to be the fastest growing disease in the United States. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1985, advised that each person, each day, should have 50-200 micrograms of trivalent chromium and that nine out of ten U.S. adults receive less than the minimum. The USDA found that the most effective form of chromium was chromium picolinate. Chromium picolinate has proved beneficial in persons suffering with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and obesity. Chromium picolinate cooperates with insulin to aid muscle-building in athletes--an anabolic effect. Progressive chromium deficiency is the principal factor leading to "age-onset" diabetes.


Insulin
The distal tail of the human pancreas, within the islets of Langerhans, contains alpha, beta, C, and Delta cells. The beta cells, which constitute 60 - 80% of the total cells of each islet, secrete insulin. The alpha cells are the seat of glucagon synthesis, storage, and secretion. Glucagon is a polypeptide hormone which, among other functions, stimulates glycogenolysis in the liver. In other words, glucagon, when blood glucose is low, releases stored glucose (glycogen) by activating the enzyme liver phosphorylase. The diabetic liver is deficient in glycogen storage. Zinc is present in the islets of Langerhans in large amounts and is released from the beta cells along with insulin even though zinc is not an integral part of the insulin molecule. Normally, a rise in blood glucose stimulates insulin output, while a lowered blood sugar is associated with less insulin release. Oral diabetic agents, the sulfonylureas, cause insulin to be released from the beta cells whether the blood sugar is high or low. The chemical poison alloxan, from a chlorine reaction in drinking water and a residue from flour bleaching is cytotoxic to the beta cell--destroying same--but also interferes with insulin release. The higher the dose of alloxan, the more destructive to the beta cells.


Insulin, released from the beta cells of the pancreas, enter the pancreatic vein, which empties into the portal system. This means that insulin must pass through the liver for conjugation (final activation) prior to entering the systemic blood. In the human body, manganese is concentrated, relatively, in the following organs: (1) bone, (2) pituitary gland, (3) mammary gland, (4) liver, (5) pancreas, (6) kidney, (7) brain, (8) lung, (9) prostate, (10) spleen, (11) heart, and (12) muscles. Manganese deficiency contributes to glucose intolerance. Also, manganese affects glucose absorption, glucose uptake, and muscle glycogen and insulin homeostasis. Insulin-dependent diabetics, after supplementing the diet with nutritional manganese, generally require less insulin to maintain good blood glucose levels. The foods that have shown the highest activity with insulin are cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, and bay leaves; they actually can triple the activity of insulin. Cinnamon is the most potent. Volumes of information have been published which establish the benefits and necessity of vitamin B complex in carbohydrate metabolism. As a coenzyme--thiamine pyrophosphate or cocarboxylase--vitamin B1 plays an important role in the intermediary metabolism of glucose in all cells of the body. The Journal of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, 1945, revealed: "All diabetics studied, with supplemental B complex administration, had striking improvement with total or partial reduction of insulin." Primary yeast is a good source of vitamin B complex.


Hypoglycemia
Too many people get a diagnosis of hypoglycemia because of a low serum glucose level found on a blood test. Hypoglycemia has become a catch-all diagnosis...the reason--many doctors don't realize how common it is for low blood sugar levels to develop in normal people during a glucose tolerance test. Symptoms unrelated to blood sugar are easily confused with true hypoglycemia. It is incorrect to diagnose hypoglycemia on the basis of a test-related drop in blood sugar. Hypoglycemia isn't a disease at all, but a symptom of a number of different, underlying health problems.


True hypoglycemia symptoms include most of the following:

1. excess perspiration

2. nausea to vomiting

3. anxiety

4. tremor

5. acute hunger pangs

6. tachycardia

7. sometimes hot flushes

8. sleepiness

9. confusion

10. subnormal temperature

11. convulsions to coma, with a rapid resolution or abatement of symptoms with ingestion of glucose or intravenous administration.
