I second - or is it third (LOL) the idea of starving your sweet tooth as the first strategy - eating a highfat savoury snack instead of a sweet one can often teach your sugar monster that it will be fed but with food you choose to eat!

Some people find that having something sour - pickle with no sugar in the ingredients for example - does the trick for them.

After a while of no sweet 'treats' your taste buds might find red peppers (bell peppers) or celery or even brocolli tastes sweet! Mine did.
