There are problems with the artificial swetteners in sugarless jello, but in moderation, I think it outweighs eating a dozen Krispy Cremes. Also, I suck on Altoids. One, two or three of them. The fruit ones are 1 gram each of carbs. They are sweet and reduce the craving. Then, get out of the kitchen or even the house and stop eating until morning.
