    Have you ever had the Brookside Dark Chocolate Pomegranates? These are awesome and you don't have to go the full 16 pieces at 170 cals. I usually break out 4 and take that as my sweet tooth snack.

    I prefer my sugar to be celibate.

    But seriously,
    If you want sugar and don't have a medical reason to avoid it, eat the sugar. Just keep it in proportion to the rest of your foods and don't let it nudge out your micros or take up too much room in your macros.

    Celibate sugar? Where's the fun in that? :wink:


    But yeah, eat some candy or something. Count it in your calories. You'll be fine.

    I wouldn't restrict sugar unless for a medical reason. I am not going to get into a pissing contest over sugar but if I want sugar then I damn well will eat some of it.

    yes

    I personally have one soda per day, at lunch, and it lasts til I leave for the day. No way I would make it through that afternoon slump without it. I work it into my daily plan.

    Realistically, the only thing that has cut my sugar cravings is going low carb, high fat, moderate protein. It's wonderful to be free of those cravings.
    I'm getting there, but it's the getting there that's trying my patience. :)

    Have you tried eating dark chocolate at or above 72% or munch on some berries (blue, black, straw)? With berries you can load up if need be. Low glycemic sugar crave killers those little berries are IMO. Good luck to you!

    It's 1:30, I'm banging my head off of my desk because I'm so tired. I have realized that in my pop I used to drink, I was not addicted to the caffiene, I was hardcore addicted to the sugar. That is what kept me going.

    Black tea is not cutting the mustard. Are there any other suggestions to keep me going?

    I've gotten up and walked around, I slept pretty good last night. I had a protien laden lunch with some veggies. I grabbed a half of a bagel at the meeting this morning....
    It's not just today, when I do this, I sit here and DIE for sugar.... what do you do?

    Nothing wrong with a little sugar with your lunch. The glucose will hit your bloodstream right away, and by the time that starts to wear off the rest of your lunch should be upping your blood sugar.

    A dietician told me once that to get rid of really intense craving, you take a raw spoon of what you are craving. For example, if you are craving sugar, you litterally take a spoon of sugar. It's supposed to kill the craving instantly... I don't remember how she explained it, but it will tell your brain you're into overload and the craving will stop.

    I never tried it. But every time I crave sugar or salt, I just picture myself eating that spoonfull and that does the trick!

    If you can't fit 1 soda a day into your calories then you need to try harder. I fit a beer or two in. Life sucks without a moderate amount of things we like. Of course, your carbs could be generally too low too. Something to consider.

    Why not have some in moderation?....unless for medical reasons.


    This :smile:

    10 peanut M n M's usually do the trick for me and they're a good size. 100 cals.

    No medical reasons, but it's one of those that if I have a pop (or whatever today) I'll likely do it again tomorrow, making it harder to keep it in moderation. I have a really hard time with moderation. :(

    Where can one get this vial of caffiene??? LOL.

    And picturing a whole spoon of sugar omg.... yes that makes it a little less unappealing.

    Sugar is in quite a few things that I like...including my coffee, ice cream, cake, cheese cake, but also bananas, apples, plums, peaches(mmm), cherries, etc...

    If you want you're coffee with sugar, drink it. Just track it. Measure what you add. You can even make it a "my food" if you have it the same way every time.
