Satisfy your need for "sentimental" carbohydrates sugars contained in fruits and vegetables, you can, of course. We need more "persuade" myself do unsweetened tea and drink. It's not easy. Sugar substitutes can help out, but there are doubts as to their safety. What to do? Is not nature has taken care of us, a sweet tooth, not in store in its arsenal of plant sugar substitutes?

Licorice root has a sweet flavor and when added to decoctions and infusions are showing it. Because licorice is quite possible to get a natural sweetener, but spitsifichesky distinct taste hinders the popularity of such developments from the manufacturers of nutritional supplements.
 We used to take drugs with licorice extract remedy for cough and bronchitis. Indeed, these drugs have expectorant and emollient properties, but their effect is much broader. In China and Central Asian countries licorice root is considered close to the properties of ginseng. Yes Yes!

Sweets - just food "antidepressant", try to have fun and cheer yourself up in such a simple, accessible manner. It is necessary to understand and gradually restructure their nutritional priorities.
