Alternatives for when you have a sweet tooth

I started my low calorie diet on Friday April 1. With the help of MFP, zumba class, and "just dance" for the wii, I hope to lose 30 lbs in 3 months. My question is what are some good alternatives when you have a sweet tooth? I'm craving a krispy kreme doughnut but know that would put me over my limit. Feel free to add me!

Fat free puddings! I put the individual serving cups in the freezer (80 calories) and eat like ice cream! Can't even taste the difference! Also, there is Jello Brand Refrigerated chocolate mousse cups (sugar free), they are AMAZING!!! Doesn't taste one bit healthy! Good luck!0

Weightwatcher's dessert products...but don't overeat them. Or banana/straberries with cholocolate/light whip cream.0

vita tops...also look up www.hungrygirl.com They have a TON of recipes. I am in a sweet mood tonight and am trying out a few lower calorie cookie recipes I found on the boards here.0

Some of my all-time faves are:
- 10-calorie, sugar-free, fat-free Jell-O. Bonus: the water counts toward your daily intake!
- 5 lg. Strawberries, sliced thin or chopped, with a dusting of Truvia and cocoa powder (30 calories)
- Crystal Light Raspberry Ice drink mix powder in my water (5 calories per serving)
- Greek Yogurt with a little honey and granola mixed in
- Homemade Stove-top Dessert Popcorn (96 calories)*
Hope those help! :happy:
*Here's a link to my blog entry about the popcorn, if you're interested:

Sugar free Werthers Originals and fruity gum
LOVE THE sugar free werthers...0 -
My first suggestion is to AVOID "sugar free" processed foods, they actually trigger more cravings and confuse the heck out of your body because they are filled with sugar alcohols and chemicals.
I go with all natural dark chocolate, ice tea sweetened with agave or stevia, or fruit usually works.
I also make homemade almond milk which is sweetened with dates and i add cinnamon for flavor- it's delicious!!
One of my favorite fruity desserts (which I actually haven't had in a while) is steamed pear or apple slices with cinnamon and a little honey. YUM
Also, if it's on the go, a tropical flavored gum works too.
I freaking LOVE chobani nonfat fruit yogurts!
And blue diamon and emerald both make a dark chocolate roasted almonds, perfect touch of sweet with protein and healthy fats.
Larabars -not low calorie.... but are filled with sooo many nutrients that the calories are worth it since they are all natural with ZERO preservatives. :-D
Just a couple ideas.0 -
I love sugar free fat free pudding. You can add a tsp or less mini chocolate chips on top. Also I like the yogurt covered pretzels in 100 cal packs.0

I've never had additional cravings from "sugar free" anything, and I've never seen any actual, scientific, peer-reviewed and published research that backs up the "confuses your body" claim. Maybe its there, but I haven't seen it....0 -
Pineapple angel food cupcakes! I'm addicted to these thing and they are roughly 60-70 calories each depending on how many you make. It's one box of angel food cake mix (the one you just add water to) and one 20 oz can of crushed pineapple. Mix both together, no water, spoon into cupcake papers and bake at 350.
I found the recipe on here and made them right away. I've eaten three today! :laugh:0 -
