1. Change your drinking habits: Drink flavored water or put a lemon or lime in ice water. If you need a sweeter drink, try iced tea with artificial sweetener. Place a pitcher of Crystal Light in the refrigerator.
2. Practice dessert portion control: Portion organize is key. Use pudding cups, fruit cups, Jell-O cups and ice cream bars. If you need to do buy larger quantities, get sorbet, sherbet or low-fat ice cream. A 100-calorie dessert is a fine goal. Limit dessert to one time or twice weekly.
3. Choose good cereals: Avoid extreme sweetened cereal; some have 12 grams of sugar per serving and add strawberries or half a banana in lieu of sugar, or lightly sweeten a cereal with a teaspoon or less of sugar.
4. Bake with less sugar: Reduce sugar by up to one-third without any substantial taste difference. Or use products that join Splenda or Equal with sugar for baking.
