First, don’t panic. A Lifesaver Mint is not your enemy. But if you’re counting grams or watching your intake, pair it with water. Sucking on a mint with a glass of water slows down your consumption and hydrates you at the same time.
Second, try the sugar-free versions. Lifesaver makes a “Sugar Free” mint that uses sorbitol and sucralose. They have about 0.2 grams of sugar per mint—practically invisible.
Third, practice mindful munching. Take the mint out of your mouth between sucks. Let it dissolve slowly for at least five minutes. You’ll enjoy it longer, and you’ll probably eat fewer of them.

And here’s a weird but fun tip: freeze your mints. A frozen Lifesaver Mint takes twice as long to dissolve, which naturally limits how many you can eat in a sitting.
