  • alizehmehdi If someone drinks 3 glasses of green tea a day do they drink 8 glasses of water or 5 glasses of water that same day?

It's hard not to eat desserts because they taste so good but I know it will be bad for me in the long run. How can I stop craving desserts?

  • purplebatman You can throw out or give away any of your dessert food so you don't have it in your house. It will reduce the cravings as you do not see the food every day.
  • nicoleigh Sliced strawberries cooked in the oven on a low temperature for a few hours are pretty tasty :)
  • Emy @kristinamlynar feel you ! Having the same problem over here... It's so hard, because all those tasty little desserts are just delicious ...! 😅

Does a bagel have sugar in?
7yr
No sugar at breakfast
  • Lazy_Nash I think it doesn't , but to be sure check in the internet
  • Nainiac Actually most bagels are made with added sugar.... For instance a Panera plain bagel has brown sugar in it. Dunkin and Einstein also add sugar. I was bummed and surprised to learn that myself!!
