Other than the above, if you constantly have sweet cravings and do not want to indulge in sweet things all the time, try popping some raisins into your mouth. The sweet feeling will subside and you will not be craving for any more sweet things.
And if you are also an oatmeal fan, try adding some raisins into your oat porridge - it is sure yummy and healthy too.
You can also try the same with bran flakes. It helps increase the fiber in your body. But do take note that you must drink enough fluids such as water and juice to "soften" the fiber in your system.
