Hi JrzyGirl:
I too have an issue with sweets. Here is what I did.
On INduction I had NO sweets except a decaf coffee with one splenda, once a day. I took the L-glutamine before each meal or whenever I had a craving.
When I have a sweet tooth I either make a low carb sweet or a store bought one I can have or I just say NO, have some water and get over it.
I fight candida which does create sweet cravings (sucky) but in time, I will have control of that too.
When I am tempted by sweets when I'm away from home I just remind myself that I can make something that is better for me and tastes better than whatever it is I am looking at (especially the foodstores bakery section - most of the stuff looks good and tastes awful!)
