Are you the kind of person who likes sweets or the type of person who go for salty foods? I am sweet toothed and I chocolates are my weakness. When I travel, one on my list is to see the famous sweet of that country. Fortunately I am able to maintain a good weight despite this. I love making sweet deserts too and I am one of the reason why my husband is a bit big. :) What about you guys? Are you sweet toothed like me?

Yes, I am, but only in certain ways, and i like salty foods too. For example, I don't eat a lot of cookies, pastries, desserts, sundaes, but I like them. I also like yoghurts, mousses, fools, cheese cake and so on. And I habitually sugar my tea or coffee with about 2 or more spoonfuls of sugar. I love chocolate too, and eat on average two bars a day. Also, I like sweet fruit drinks. I've got a strong sweet tooth and should be careful as I'm no longer a spring chicken. As a kid, I can remember being labelled a candy/sweet addict by another kid. I used to laugh about myself being a "chain eater" of candy/sweets. I used to sit in class and eat them until I was caught: it was bliss...but man, it was upsetting to have my beloved candy/sweets confiscated by the teacher. Thing is though...I was so skinny; I didn't put weight on for decades. I had that kind of metabolism that must have burned everything off, I was such a live wire. I'm not so lively these days!

Wow, I wish to have your figure and weight. *wink* I am sweet toothed too. I love anything that is so so sweet. I don't exempt anything as long as it is sweet. sad to say, my mom is limiting my intake for these sweet kind because we have diabetes lineage. Might as well prevent than to regret in the end. But sometimes, I can't help but indulge into these foods and then make amends by drinking tea, eating ampalaya, and burning calories.

i do as like you. I have a day or two in a week when I treat myself with foods I love. And I always have a hot tea beside me and plenty of water too. Tip: Drink green tea it helps me a lot to maintain my weight

Yes, I am sweet-toothed like you too! I am able to eat sweet stuff that most people will find too sweet for them, and the sweeter the food the more I like it..... My personal favorites are donuts (especially those from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts) and cakes with lots of icing on them. Surprisingly, despite my sweet-toothed nature, I'm actually quite thin, and that is probably due to the fact that I don't eat a lot and I work in a VERY stressful job that perhaps burns all the calories away...... I just hope my sweet tooth doesn't eventually lead me to diabetes......

I do have a sweet tooth. Funny they call it a sweet tooth when it really has nothing to do with our teeth but more like our taste buds, should be called a sweet taste bud. I love sweets and especially chocolate. When I eat a chocolate bar though I can't just have one. I have to have two of them. I don't eat them too often because I don't want to get fat but when I do one just isn't enough. I also love to eat cakes and cookies. And I have to admit chocolate is my favourite in those too. I also love ice cream and especially chocolate ice cream, no surprise there!! Cheers and happy mylotting, Chris

Sweets - Very sweet indeed.
I love sweets too so I am one of the so called "sweet toothed". In fact I can't be happy if I have no sweet dessert after every meal. But I make sure I eat in moderation so I won't have any health issue. I know anything too much is good so even if I admit I am sweet-toothed I make sure it won't go to the extent of hurting my health.

I love sweets too. I love desserts, candies, chocolates and cakes and I ate more often but the thing is, after eating too much sweets, I craved for salty foods also. I would grab a spicy peanuts or popcorn though to do away eating salty junk foods.

I prefer savoury. don't get me wrong, I enjoy sweet food, but if I crave a food it is likely to be a savoury one. if I had to give up chocolate or cheese, I wouldn't think for one moment about my answer, and cheese would be the thing I'd go for. I'm not so much keen on salty food though.

I like sweets more and more the older I get. When I was younger, I couldn't care less about sweet stuff, now I can't get enough. I am always on a diet and that makes it very hard. I am not overweight, but I could be very easily.

Yes mam I am!! I always crave for sweet things but lately I've been trying to adapt my tongue to just-adequate sugar levels...too much glucose is really unhealthy

Unfortunately I have a sweet tooth, but unlike you I am slightly overweight. I haven't gained weight which is good, but I'm not losing any either. My sweet tooth hasn't helped the situation either. I love soft chocolate chip cookies, or anything with chocolate really. In fact right now, sitting in front of me as I write out this reply I have 2 chocolate chip cookies just waiting to be eaten...LOL

Oh yes. I really love sweet foods, I eat a lot of cake, brownies or chocolates. Though I am trying my best not to eat always because I don't want to be diabetic in the future.

I'm not much of a sweet tooth as other folks, but I could use something that's sweet but not salty to get rid of the small salt bump on my tongue from the McDonald's fries I ate earlier. My favorite sweet thing is chocolate candy especially if it's white chocolate. White chocolate is the best.

i think I am both. I love eating sweets and salty food. I am not picky on foods. I eat anything as long as it tastes good. Fortunately, I have a good metabolism so I don't really worry even if I eat too many salty or too many sweet food.

SWEETS! My weakness! I don't like too much sweets though. Every time I eat something salty like noodles or ramen, I always make it to the point to eat something sweet. Chocolate is my favorite!!! I'm a bit chubby though T_T I love sweets and I love eating! Lol!
