fruit.
OR if I need chocolate- I'll eat a bite size Hershey's dark. Yum. But- just 1 (usually )

sugar free snacks like pudding , carmel turtles, 3 musketeers

Sometimes I chew sugar free gum (Orbit's or Dentyne), have a Weight Watcher's Smart Ones dessert (they are delicious, the perfect size - just enough to fulfill that crave, and aren't high in sugars and cals), or I have a good old bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios

I hear that small cups of vanilla ice cream are harmless as well, so you may want to consider those as well.

Hope these help!!!

Ummm, i have whatever it is I'm craving.

You don't have to cut all the nice things out completely. Just eat them in moderation.

One small square of very dark chocolate works well, or if you really want to be good try a big bowl of diet jelly! Pretty much no calories and you still feel like you're eating something sweet

It happens to me sometimes, and I have different things I will do. I will drink a cup of decaf tea, or go for a walk, or have sugar free Jello (I keep it made up in serving size containers in the fridg) if nothing else will do. I do not usually "crave" chocolate because it is not one of my favorite things, I eat it, but very rarely.

peanut butter or a skinny cow candy bar(they are so yummy)

couple hours after dinner? lol I have as soon I finish my dinner. I usually try to get sugar free jello with fat free wipped cream or sugar free chocolate syrup and fat free whipped cream

i usually eat half a cup of starwberries or half a cup of unsweetend apple sauce with cinamin and splenda put it in the micro for a few seconds tastes almost as good as apple pie yum yummm

I want something sweet almost every night after dinner, and it's never anything but chocolate. If you aren't the type to limit yourself to just one (like me), I brush my teeth, have a glass of water, then go for a walk. Having minty, clean teeth sometimes changes your outlook--as does a 10 or 20 minute walk.

I always have a sweet craving after I eat. I usually give in, I keep chocolate chip cookies and other treats in the house for myself and if I want one I eat it as long as it won't put me over my calories limit. I exercise everyday so I don't have to deprive myself of yummy treats.

Now don't get me wrong I don't go hog wild! I usually allow myself one cookie or a yogurt or something else sweet.

engineman312

yeah. i used to. i used to keep skinny cow ice cream in the freezer, and little by little stopped craving them.

A jello mousse temptations cup (60 cals)

These are great suggestions. I also use the dark chocolate (it is my favorite) for these cravings. I usually put it in the freezer as a way of keeping it out of my mind as well and so far it has worked for me.
The mousse temptations is also a yummy way to get over a chocolate craving and still be in control of the calories.

Thank you all for your suggestions

Have you tried the WhoNu? chocolate chip cookies? 3 cookies for 150 calories, not bad and they do get you through craving for sweets.

I wasn't going to reply because so many others gave great suggestions - but the ONLY chocolate I buy (or let my hubby bring into the house) are the Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Nuggets with almonds. Usually if I have just one and really let it melt in my mouth and savor it, I find I don't need more. Even on the yucky TOM days, I find that 2 or 3 are enough - each one has about 45 cals. And eating them while drinking a cup of peppermint tea makes them taste even better. Good luck!

1 block of cadbury's chocolate in a slab has 23 calories, so i eat a few of those, but not a whole chocolate.

Or i eat small sweets, fewer calories but i still get the sugat hit

missikay1970

i eat one very small piece of super dark chocolate, like 80% cacao. good for the heart and the cravings!

hey_its_kimber

I have a few different flavors of gum that I carry with me to give me that sweet taste but not all the calories.
