    once i cut out all refined sugars and sugar substitutes i find i no longer crave sweet stuff *S*

    yeah..surprised me too cause i was a HUGE dessert lover (or was that lover of huge desserts? or both? *LOL*)

    now.. if i need a sweetener i only use a touch of honey... so a 'sweet treat' to me now is a tiny drizzle of honey on a toasted thin bagel or bran muffin *S*

    other than that i think my 'sweet' tooth is totally met now by the fresh fruits i eat.

    i know it is unbelievable (for any who know me) but i no longer even crave chocolate *LOL*

    I was the same way when I cut out sugar. Carrots were my candy. I have added sugar back in and now I have cravings once in a while. I am considering cutting it out again, but this time allowing myself starches.

    My fav is a very small piece of very dark chocolate, 80% cacao or higher. I let it melt on my tongue, so it lasts longer. It is so rich, a small piece feels like a whole piece of cheesecake. Then I plan the rest of my day around the calories I've consumed.
