Sugar addiction?!


Question: I need some help. Some substutes for lollies or something please.

I have a healthy diet, good exercise routine but I eat too much sugary foods. I need suggestions of subsitutes that are healthy to help me.
Its not as simple as saying just dont eat them- heres the problem- I severed the nerve from my nose to my brain 4 yrs ago so my taste buds work (sweet, spicy, bitter, sour) but I cant taste flavours so my only enjoyment with food is from spicy or sweet food.
What can I do to satisy my sweet cravings yet not get the calories that go with it.

wow, that is pretty serious. sweet is one of the best flavours, and who doesn't love it? when i get cravings for sweets i try and turn to dried fruit. (such as dried mangos, my favourite). they taste exactly like candy and you get the same satisfaction you would with a lollipop! and, it's not bad for you!

hope this helped, and good luck!
