If you’ve got an insatiable sweet tooth – I’ve got the cure...

If you’re trying to cut back on sweets – stock up on pickles! 

Pickles can do wonders at curbing cravings – especially if you’ve got a soft-spot for sweet stuff. Pickles are crunchy, sour, pungent and spicy, all at once, and overwhelm the senses. 

In a recent experiment, hungry participants were practically drooling over some delicious desserts they would soon be eating. First, they had to eat a pickle. In most cases, the urge to eat the sweets was gone in as little as 10 seconds. Those who insisted on dessert say they ate less of it than they would have pre-pickle.
