  • meghanmjacobs Awesome! I can't do black coffee alone 😝

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?

No sugar at breakfast

  • 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!!
