    Eating a warm s'mores poptart with a scoop of cookie dough gelato as I read this.

    What brand is the cookie dough? What we talking here, 440 calories?
    200 for the tart and 50g of Talenti cookie dough = 305 cals

    im baaad. I have some of the longer lasting sweets and eat then within reason. If I go a bit overboard I accept it might have slowed the weight loss or alternatively I will put in some more exercise.

    Obviously you have the choice to moderate and have a small portion. Ice cream isnt bad on calories at all. Make it last.

    Btw if you use search on sweet tooth then lots of people have alternative low calorie solutions which gives them most of the buzz without the calories.

    Strawberries are my go to for sugar cravings.

    Or no sugar chocolate, nor sugar drinking chocolate or no sugar strawberry powder.

    I have good quality dark chocolate chips. One serving is 70 calories, but quite a few chips. Eating them one at a time lets me savor them longer. Some days I'll have a tablespoon of peanut butter with then. It feels really indulgent but doesn't put me over.

    When I feel like putting in more effort, I make banana "ice cream" - frozen bananas blended with whatever flavor you want (chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, strawberry, honey, etc). It's a little more calories and sugar, but the consistency is just like soft ice cream, so it makes a good fakeout.

    I do not crave chocolate at all until it is that TOM so the last two days I just made a heath bar fit in to my daily cals. I only am eating a half tonight though. GOOD LUCK! I wanted ice cream too but was afraid to do exactly that lol

    I eat fruit (esp grapes). I find that if I avoid refined sugar, and substitute just raw fruit, it eventually ends the cravings. Same with salty stuff (I've had some serious cravings for both salt and sugar). Everyone's different, but for me, avoidance is the only alternative to deal with sugar/salt cravings. They go away completely after 3 days abstinence.

    so you cure a sugar craving, with sugar? got ya….

    I eat dates, raisins, or a banana with honey and cinnamon. I had a piece of cake today for someone's birthday and I've felt like crap all day. (Oh yeah and an added twist is I was the one who baked it! I have mad cake decorating skills ;-) But I don't usually eat that so it's more of a psychological thing and it's to the point where I just can't eat that stuff anymore and just enjoy it. Bring on the fruit please!

    I eat sugar every day. Usually ice cream or gelato. I had some frozen yogurt today and was dissatisfied.

    What do I do? The only reasonable thing to do: eat something sugary, of course.

    Word from the gelato group is that the Talenti cookie dough is a huge disappointment. @OdesAngel can you confirm or deny?
