I love Quacker Rice cakes, come in so many flavors! My favorite is Chewy Chocolate chip Dipps! It taste like a chocolate bar! With less fat! I also love Kudos bars! Yummy!

I am not the best example since I commonly just give in to the temptation BUT herbal tea sometimes helps. Fresh fruit (or frozen) is a good alternative. I also have tic tacs or ginger chews (or other hard candy).0

Yogurt has a lot of sugar and can be satisfying
Also half a cup of special K cereal does it for me too0 -
yogurt with agave
ginger tea
100 calories of dark chocolate0 -
I've been eating greek yogurt lately. I sometimes add cereal for a crunch.0
-
Vita cakes!! Good for your sweet tooth and easy on the waist (@ 50 calories for a decent sized fudgy chocolate brownie like cake!!!)0
-
They have amazing Fiber One bars now, with caramel and chocolate and such, for only 90 calories! Even brownies for only 100. And, surprisingly enough, they taste like the real thing! It works well for me!0

I also believe that no good comes from complete deprivation so every now and then its ok to indulge, but on a day-to-day basis I find that yogurt pudding as I call it really hits the spot - plain greek yogurt with one tablespoon sugarfree pudding mix (my fav is the white chocolate or cheesecake) then add in fresh strawberries = HEAVEN! Also good is if you can find carbolite ice cream or sugar free soft serve frozen yogurt from yogurtland or menchies. However sometimes just a sweet drink like a good tea (with 3 splendas lol) or crystal light is enough to satisfy the craving, or mixing walden farm chocolate mix with milk for guilt free cup of chocolate milk.0

I sometimes make a strawberry smoothie! It's really easy to do. Just get a cup of chopped strawberries, half a cup of fat free milk and about 5 ice cubes and blend them together in a blender. It's about 100 calories and tastes great!0

100 calories dark chocolate bars, frozen yogurt, mini ice cream cones (nestle mini drumsticks are 110-130 calories), a couple cookies. I like those special K 'pastry crisps' too. All this is like 100 calories, maybe 4g of fat (chocolate is more obviously), and easy to fit in most of my days even with 1600 calories or something. Seriously I have one of those things every day pretty much (sometimes 2). It makes maintaining this diet soooo much easier. And the remaining 1400 calories are pretty healthy.
Or if you really can't control your appetite, protein bars work for me. Or you can eat fruit. Protein bars, shakes and fruit is what I used the first weeks to stop my sweet cravings. Now I can stop at one cookie and not eat the whole box.0 -
Thanks for the all the great idea!
I think I'm going to have to get on the Greek yogurt train!0 -
Sugar free chocolate bliss pudding yummmmmmmmmmm 60 cals0
-
Strawberries with a little splenda if you need more sweet flavor,
sugar free gum
yogurt
smoothies with fresh fruits
love all the ideas from others too :-)0 -
Blend up frozen bananas for some soft serve - works like a charm. And you can add a bit of dark choco/cinnamon/whatever you'd like! If you don't like bananas, other fruits would work too. It's like the smoothie idea, but much more filling imo and feels like ice cream which is always nice0

to be honest changing to fruit is your best bet. But, if you are looking to curb those cravings
try a whole food mineral supplement that will feed your body the nutrition it is needing that is
causing your cravings. I use Life's Fortune..It is a multi-vitamin too. and it was great in helping me
with my need for sweets.
Good Luck0 -
I freeze grapes, strawberries, and mangoes, and make a smoothie with water spinach, and celery. Tastes great, and satisfies your sweet tooth.0
-
stevia + cocoa nibs + cottage cheese or greek yoghurt0
-
South Beach Diet Bars - Whipped Peanut Butter is soooooo good and only 100 calories and great for after a workout because it has 6 grams of protein in it0
-
Strawberry Greek yogurt+ a square or two if Hershey 's special dark. Chop up/ shave chocolate into yogurt, stir, and enjoy.0
-
Skinny cow treats are good every once in awhile too. I was really craving ice cream the other day and bought one of the small cups they make. 150 cals each. Much better than a pint of Ben and Jerry's haha

I use cinnamon gum, fire balls, and lollipops. They are all low in calories and satisfy my cravings. I think the cinnamon does it. Good luck!!0

Lol.
Honestly I'd rather put a teaspoon of sugar than use an artificial sweetener, personally.0 -
And then there's High Fructose Corn Syrup. Gogurt has that too.

Telling someone who wants to control their sweet tooth to eat something with tons of sugar (and HFCS and and and) just seems counter productive to me. shrug.0 -

I try to stay away from that too. But I see your point.
To control my sweet tooth only protein shakes and fruit worked. I didn't allow myself sweets for a month. Now I have no problem having just one cookie or one chocolate (which is really totally new to me and I'm pretty proud of it lol).0
