Tricks for killing sweets cravings?

I got some matcha tea from, Unicity brand, that is sweetened with pomegranite and I think Stevia. So it's sweetened naturally, and controls cravings, and boosts your metabolism all at the time. Lots of herbs, vitamins and minerals and really tastes good.

Have a sweet, but make sure it's a good quality, delicious one. I love handmade chocolate- it's more expensive but also more satisfying and I'm not likely to eat 6 pieces in one go since 1 piece does the trick.

Hot tea- I drink it all day long but especially at night to wind down. A healthy sweet that I love is vanilla yogurt pureed with sliced frozen peaches- it's like this light, yummy ice cream and sooo good.

I used to paint my nails or do something with my hands but it didn't really help that much :P Sometimes you just need a treat.

Didn´t know what Baklava was, so I googled it and saw some photos. Now I understand: I really could not refrain myself from eating that thing, LOL

any fruit is a great idea, I love apples yellowish green , not too sweet not too sour ,
as for the baklava I'm sorry you had a bad experience, of course its a lot over the top with cal but as taste is involved , if done the right way , its delicious. We make it every year for new years eve in my country.

Frozen bananas whizzed in the processor make killer dairy free ice cream. You can add a little of something else to make it even sweeter or nommier, like nutella or PB.

Or, if this is a daily ongoing struggle, try upping your protein. You're suppose to eat 1g for every pound you weigh, but I find that impossible to afford. But trying to get about 150g a day has really helped my cravings for sweet things, probably because I'm eating fewer carbs in order to fit it into my calories for the day.

Oh and this: http://amyshealthybaking.com/blog/2014/02/12/skinny-single-serving-microwave-brownie/ But swap one tablespoon of water with an extra tablespoon of yoghurt and add granulated sweetener. I put a little bit of nutella on top while it's cooling, making it a decadent, generous chocolate brownie for about 150 calories.

(If you aren't averse to pills, chromium at a 500-1000mcg work for me too.)
