Managing Hunger _ Day 2

Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Maintaining a healthy diet can be tough when you have a sweet tooth. Most highly processed, packaged snacks have added sugar, which adds calories that can cause you to gain fat (but contain zero nutrients).

It's still possible to satisfy your sweet tooth and maintain a healthy lifestyle-it's all in the food choices you make when the sugar cravings kick in.
