In each meal, i find myself craving for sweets.. Do you know any substitution which will be healthy for my diet?

    Fruit, yogurt, smoothies... There are also lots of fudge bars or slushie type things that come under 100 calories. Frozen grapes, small slices of frozen banana. If you slice a banana really thin, spread out the pieces, and freeze it, you can eat half a banana (50 calories!) as a satisfying desert. Sometimes keep a bag of dark chocolate with almonds and eat two or three pieces if I need something sweet. Lots of options. I have a sweet tooth too so I understand the struggle.

    I almost always go for a yoghurt for dessert - I go for the thick, high protein options like Skyr, Liberte and Danone Danio. All less than 150 cal.

    I get mine at Kroger. Wal-Mart here doesn't sell it.

    Well I went to their site and I looked up where to find it- was at Giant in the organic section and I got all excited until I read the ingredients and saw that it has Stevia in it. :/

    If you like bananas you can slice 3 up & lay them flat on a baking sheet & freeze them. When they are frozen (about 2 hours) place them in a food processor, they will become super creamy like ice cream. You can eat it then or put it in a air tight container and save it for later.

    Dark chocolate. Live a little.
    One square of Lindt sea salt is only about 50 calories.
    Allow to sit in your mouth and melt. Better than 10 candy bars.
    Having a little sweet signals my body that eating is over and done (really works).

    Right now I'm having about 4 mini whoppers. Count them, log them, lose weight.

    www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com helps me. She uses healthier options substituting stevia for sugar or sneaks fruit in there or uses a healthier flour. I personally eat everything I want in with my calorie deficit and it works for me.

    Flap jack mighty muffins are good. 20 gramps of protein and taste and texture are spot on. Frozen blueberries are my go to. I always keep some in my freezer.

    Alternative artificial sweeteners are a safe substitute for diabetes patients. My mom uses it.

    I've frozen a few bananas before too and added some peanut butter and blended it up. It's like ice cream. Lately I've been getting some non-fat Greek yogurt and adding chocolate protein powder to it and freezing it for maybe 30-45 minutes so it has more texture to it.
    I also just added a Honeydew Sherbet recipe on my page. It's just honeydew, lemon juice, and agave nectar.
