Am I missing something? How about dark chocolate?

Berries.
Other fruit.
Dark chocolate.

And yes, even a seemingly incurable sweet tooth diminishes when you stop regularly feeding it. I never thought I'd ever say this in my life, but my sugar cravings have gone way, way down since about the second week of stopping to eat all the cookies, cakes and candy I used to eat.

Applesauce with fat free whipped cream! Yum, I need to get some.

If you have a blender, you can make some really tasty smoothies that are packed with good things while they taste like a dessert. Sometimes I'll have a protein bar. Luna bars and the Fiber One peanut butter bars are my favorites. I love having the Dannon greek yogurt cups with a generous dollop of fat free cool whip. It's almost like eating a little sundae. As others have said, dark chocolate is always good, you just have to be careful to only have a small amount. If you are almost out of calories but are craving a sweet, there is a vanilla caramel tea by biglow which scratches that itch for me.

Also, I have made this recipe several times and there isn't a single person who has tried it in my family that did not love it:
Root Beer Float Pie

I like to add pudding/jello mix to nonfat Greek yogurt...tastes delicious! In fact, just a while ago I had Oikos plain greek yogurt (0%), strawberry jello powder and some cocoa powder. was great! I used about a half tablespoon of cocoa powder and a couple tablespoons of the jello mix. I have also used butterscotch pudding mix in the past as well, which was also great.

Sweet potatoes actually help you stop craving sweets, I eat them quite often, with a meal and then I dont want dessert. I am a surgarholic, so when I say it works, I aint lyin!!

I keep really good chocolate chips on hand, and have a serving at the end of the day (or more, calories left over permitting). I like it because I can pop one or 2 in at a time and let them melt, savoring the flavor and taste.

Here's my recipe for Chocolate Mousse with only 1 tbsp of sugar.



Chocolate Mousse


Ingredients:

8 oz of Belgium dark chocolate
5 tbsps of espresso (can replace espresso with a liquor)
5 eggs separated
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp crème fraiche
pinch of salt
1 tbsp of sugar

Method:

Over a double boiler melt the chocolate and espresso slowly, the chocolate should be warm, not hot. Take off heat and add butter and crème fraiche and whip in the egg yolks, one at a time. Whip egg whites adding a pinch of salt and half way through add the sugar. You want the whites to be stiff but not dry. Add in 1 or 2 big dollops of the whites and blend into the chocolate to lighten up the mixture. Add the remaining whites in 2 stages, folding gently each time. Scrape into individual dishes or into one large container, your choice, and let sit in the fridge overnight.

Incorporate more sweet vegetables into your regular meals. Sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, etc. You will see that your cravings will go down over time. I also often have a small piece of dark chocolate after dinner. It's just enough to reduce my cravings.

This recipe for no flour black bean brownies is amazing!

I've made them a few times and no one ever realized there was beans in them.
