I love sweets but so do my THIGHS!! Anyway, I started taking Thrive supplements and sweet cravings STOPPED. Anyone else have this experience? I signed up to promote these products after one day. Vitamins/minerals and protein drinks. I just love the stuff. Anyone else???

This is definitely not the thread to be promoting supplements to help stop sweets cravings... for that matter, I don't know that there is an appropriate thread to promote products like that....

This is a 30-day SWEETS cleanse... Not a 30-day SPAM cleanse. Begone, foul spammer!

Forced to take a hiatus due to some severe stomach issues that are making it hard to eat at all, let alone eat sweet stuff right now. Hopefully be back to finish up when not in pain.

Hope you feel better! :flowerforyou:

I was having some issues this morning as well due to all the rich Italian food I've been eating. I decided some good old fashioned McNuggets would restore my constitution, I was able to power through those and even stomach half a small cup of Nutella gelato...

Day 20 - a square of Ghirardelli dark chocolate with sea salt caramel and a mini salted caramel shake

As a big soccer fan, and someone who keeps waiting for the predictions I've heard all my life to come true ("Soccer is really about to take off here in the States - we finally have enough youngsters who played becoming adults who love the game and will watch live and on TV") -- I am happy to see you at a game and at the same tie depressed to see how empty the stands are across from you, even on a weekday!

In our defense, that was like an hour before the game. But LA on a weekday usually looks pretty sparse. Traffic prevents a lot of fans from getting out to the stadium on a weeknight. Check out attendance for Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders however. Even midweek they rock their stadium. Weekend games in LA are usually 26k+. MLS attendance is becoming comparable to NHL attendance.

We seem to be getting that "take off" here in KC, FINALLY. It's been amazing to see the difference a few years has made. Last I heard, Sporting's sold out more than 40 straight home games - I didn't happen to catch the attendance numbers tonight.
(And wow, that cinnabon roll looks good!)

Since I never seem to remember to take pictures of my sweets, I'll derail us even further into MLS talk, and share a couple shots I took at tonight's SKCvTOR game instead to make Cortelli feel better about attendance. Sadly (?), no stadium food for me to photograph tonight - I'd filled up too well on a really good burger before the game.

I'm originally from KC (live in STL now) and was going to mention Sporting KC earlier in the thread when I saw the comment about MLS not taking off. I haven't been to a game but it is on my list for when we visit in the next year or so.

Day 19: a pastry this morning - not sure what it was called... like a croissant with big sugar crystals on the outside and a custardy filling . . .

That's going to be, generically, a "brioche" or in your case with filling a "brioche con crema" -- or generically a croissant of some sort and you just want to say "Mi da una brioche, per piacere?" pointing to the one you want.

I am going to be in Rome for a week or so in less than a month's time and I am already looking forward to stumbling out into the streets in the AM after dealing with jet lag, and finding the nearest bar for a "brioche" and a "café" (and then also finding the same place for a "rosso" sometime later in the morning :flowerforyou: )

Thanks for the tranlsation! I have found most everyone here fairly accommodating of my grunt and point techniques. And I've mastered "vino bianco per favore". :drinker:

Day 21: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate gojis, and French toast made with Martin's potato slider rolls topped with 1/2 serving of Jeni's roasted strawberries and buttermilk ice cream. (see avatar) The strawberry stood out better than the bananas + honey did. I'm going to a graduation party later, so there might be something else.

I did, too.

I can't remember who was looking for butter brickle ice cream, but I just saw some at Safeway. It's a Turkey Hill special flavor, it looks like. I need to make room so I can grab one before it's gone. I'm.still looking for their sweet potato ice cream.

Day 21 - two Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, homemade profiteroles stuffed with Breyer's vanilla ice cream, 5 sugar puffs (homemade)

Oh these look really good!!

LolBroScience

Day 1 - Wild Ophelia - Salted Chowchilla Almond. Already discovering new things. Wild Ophelia is a local company to Chicago with a handful of "unique flavors" - http://www.wildophelia.com/. Kind of difficult to review, but it is a nice balance of sweet milk chocolate bar, smokey chopped almonds and sea salt. Also, if you haven't ever tried it,... I highly recommend freezing the chocolate bars prior to consumption.
Day 2 - Chocolove - Dark Chocolate w/ Crystallized Ginger. Nom Nom Nom, big ginger fan over here. Rich Dark Chocolate taste (65%) with just enough sweetness. Spicy and sweet ginger pieces throughout, but not overpowering.
Day 3 - Wild Ophelia - Peanut Butter & Banana - Well, that was delightful .... Milky chocolaty chocolate with a creamy peanut butter and banana taste (derrrr). Quite macro friendly too. Only 300 cals for the whole bar!
Day 4 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Raisins & Pecans. OMGAHHHHH so good! Rich dark chocolate flavor with a crunch texture from the pecans. I also froze the bar per usual for extra added crunch! A number of gooey and sweet raisins all throughout the bar to top it off. YUM!
Day 5 - Wild Ophelia Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips. This was essentially just a crunchy dark chocolate bar with a very mild occasional crunch/smokey BBQ flavor. Kinda reminded me of a nestle crunch bar, just not as textured. You do get a BBQ chip after taste though... pretty unique. I quite enjoyed it
Day 6 - Trader Joe's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bites. Figured I'd switch it up today and try something different. Had 3 of the mini bars. Creamy cheesecake bites with blueberry and graham cracker sprinkles. Very tasty, but too small and not worth the cals for the size IMO. Also Greek Yogurt bowl with 450g Fage, 350g Frozen Blueberries, 70 Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios & 30g TJ Crunchy Cookie Butter
Day 7 - Chocolove Salted Peanut in Milk Chocolate. This one was great .... nice mix of creamy, salty, and sweet (giggity). Frozen of course for extra added to texture to the peanut halves found throughout :P. Also, another Greek Yogurt Bowl for preworkout with Fage, Dark Chocolate Cheerios and All Bran.
Day 8 - Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate - Yummy combination of the dark chocolate flavor with a tartness of freeze dried raspberry pieces all throughout which provide a nice crunchy texture. Enjoyed frozen as usual
Day 9 - Breyer's Blasts! Strawberry Cheesecake w/ Lucky Charms. Hah! Nothing fancy going on here... was super lazy and kinda screwed up my macros so I needed to opt for something on the lower fat side. I remembered I still had some of the Breyer's left over from before starting the 30 day pint a day challenge. This combo was pretty good! 339g Breyer's w/ 57g Lucky Charms.
Day 10 - A whole buncha stuff. Finished off the remaining 3 TJ Blueberry Cheesecake Icecream bites. Also had 4 Cups Cappuccino Kefir topped w/ All Bran & 110g Vanilla Chex, and 3 Honey Nut Rice Cakes topped w/ Cinnamon Bun Whey spread. Lazypostworkoutprebedmeal/10
Day 11 - Lindt Dark Hazelnut. Made a quick grab for a candy bar while across the street at Walgreens. Hadn't had Lindt candy in a while do I decided to give it a whirl. Not too bad... standard Dark Chocolate taste, more on the sweet side though. Sectioned into 3 portions with a hazelnut and some sort of mousse like filling inside. Also had some Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios.
Day 12 - Fannie May Pixies - Made another quick stop across the street from work at Walgreens today because I'm going to be busy later. Opted for the Pixies since it's been years since I've had anything by them. Not a fan of mint meltaway's so I opted for the Pixies. Figured I couldn't go wrong with a combo of pecans, caramel, and chocolate. I was correct.
Day 13 - Chocolove Toffee & Almonds in Milk Chocolate. Pretty good, but a little too sweet for my liking... Personally, I'm a bigger fan of Dark Chocolate so the combo of toffee and milk chocolate was quite extensive. Nice crunch and salt from the almonds though. I would recommend this one if you're a fan of milk chocolate & toffee.
Day 14 - Chocolate Truffle Kefir topped with Vanilla Chex & Triple Decker Toasted Salted Almond Butter/Sea Salted Caramel Truffle Sandwich. How's that one? Ok so.... The Kefir was a let down. The flavor sounded like it would kick *kitten* in theory, but it didn't even taste like chocolate.. thankfully the Vanilla Chex was there as a savior. I need to just sticky with the fruity flavors because the vanilla, chocolates, cappuccino etc all suck! On to the sandwich... marvelous! Used three slices of Martin's Potato bread and lathered two of the slices with TJ Salted almond butter. Placed two Sea Salted Caramel Truffles and then put it on my foreman grill for about 2 mins like a panini maker. Perfecto
Day 15 - Peanut Butter Brownie - This is actual a store bought brownie from the Bakery section. They had a few different flavors to select from, Cookie n Cream, PB, 2x Chocolate, etc. So, being a PB predator I figured it would be a great buy. A+ :P..... Moist, chewy and peanut buttery. So good, especially for a store bought one.
Day 16 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar - Very rich Dark Chocolate flavor. Quite yummy and filling, but nothing out of the ordinary... not much else to say about this one!
Day 17 - 2 Sea Salted Caramels, w/ 120g Vanilla Chex. Nothing special today... was in a hurry last night so I planned poorly and had to scrap together dem macros.
Day 18 - Peanut Butter Brownie - Repeat here, so no pics. Have 2 of em left and need to finish them off.
Day 19 - Yasso Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt (whole box). Posted pic of whole dinner... 6 eggs of 683g yellow potato, 4 Yasso Greek Yogurt Vanilla Bean bars, 64g salted almond butter on 2 Martin's potato rolls, and 36g Vanilla Chex (not pictured)
Day 20 - Chocolate Truffle Kefir, PB Brownie & PB Cheerios Bowl of Deliciousness.
Day 21 - Chocolove Cherries & Almond in Dark Chocolate. Good one! Not overly sweet, with a handful of different textures. crunchy almonds, chewie cherry pieces and additional crunch from frozen chocolate. Really enjoyed this one from the Chocolove line.
