How To Beat Food Cravings March 14, 2006

Here’s a tip I read somewhere to help control the urge to nibble on snacks:

If you find yourself craving food, or eating just for the sake of it, or going to the cupboard whenever you get bored, try brushing your teeth instead. Not much tastes very good straight after brushing, so it will discourage you from eating when you don’t really need to.

Don’t go overboard, though. It’s not good for your teeth to be brushing them too much. If necessary, just brush your tongue and give your teeth a quick, light swipe with the brush. It’ll still give you that minty aftertaste, but won’t be as harsh on your mouth.
