Hi, I decide to give this web site a try. It makes sense to start counting calories.
I have one are that concerns me. I have a sweet tooth and need some suggestions for substitutes.
Any suggestions on what to eat in place? Or something with less calories?
Thanks!
Big guy from Mass!:tongue:

    Go for sugar-free creamsicles...by the company of the same name, Creamsicle. They are only 20 calories per creamsicle and 1 gram of fat. You could eat these things all night...okay, don't go too crazy...

    Another suggestion is Breyer's Fat Free ice creams. I really like the chocolate cookies and cream. With 110 calories and 0 fat per serving (1/2 cup), you can't really go wrong. The only downfall is quite a few carbs...Run an extra mile or two and you're set! Also, the taste is a little different at first, but you won't notice after a few bowls (spread out over a few days of course).

    I have a bag of fun size twix's in the refrigerator. At the end of the day, if I've been good enough, I allow myself one.

    I LOVE Edy's slow churned frozen yogurt!
    Also - the more you do this - the less of a sweet tooth you'll have. I started this w/ my favorite drink being Sweet Tea and now sweet tea is disgusting to me and I'm happy w/ plain unsweetened tea w/ lemon.

    Check out the Special K bars. Either the 90 calorie snack size or the 180 protein meal bar both have chocolate flavoring that feels like I'm eating a real treat than diet food.
  • i have a major sweet tooth too! expecially for ice cream, but Skinny Cow has amazing ice cream bars for half the calories of regular ice cream, but tastes just as good :)

    I like the fiber one bars caramel or peanut butter. I love yoplait light yogurt. They have some really yummy flavors. I drink coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer. I also love clemintines (tiny oranges). These things give me enough sweet to help me resist temptations. I also do a cheat day once a week in which I allow myself a really yummy treat. I'm not tempted by candy and cookies anymore. I get something really sinful and good. :)
