    For the 100 cal mug cake, do you use sweetened or unsweetened cocoa? I used unsweetened cocoa and applesauce and it is not good at all. :sad:

    SKINNY COW is your friend. :love:

    Their ice cream tastes amazing and is super low in calories. Otherwise if you're really low on calories try eating frozen fruits (strawberries and blueberries are my fav)


    I love Skinny Cow stuff; the ice cream sandwich is to die for and very filling.

    I have a bag of these mini Twix for just such an occasion. Yes, it is hard to limit myself to 1 or 2, but as stated above, the craving will go away. I seem to find that since I stopped eating most sweets, that these cravings always come after dinner. :(

    Honestly, I cheated and had a Snickers bar one day... an entire one to myself. After taking two big bites of it, the sweetness was actually nauseating to me and I tossed the rest.

    Keep up the hope!

    1 egg white beaten in mug then
    add
    3 tbsp cocoa powder
    2 tbsp of either puree pumpkin, banana or apple sauce
    1 tsp honey
    1/2 tsp vanilla

    This sounds awesome... thanks for the recipe.... As I'm trying to keep track of my fats / carbs / proteins, would you be able to tell me the values for this awesome recipe.

    I usually grab a square of the dark chocolate with sea salt when I get a craving for something sweet. You can also freeze grapes or put drops of yogurt on a pan and throw it in the freezer. After a while, they are almost like dipping dots!

    Fiber One has a chocolate cereal now. You can have 3/4 of a cup, and with 1/2 cup of milk, it might help the chocolate cravings. I, too, have chocolate frenzy.

    Mashed pumpkin with stevia and cinnamon.

    I kid you not - freaking amazing. Also, a whole KG (1000g) is only 260kcal. Ridiculous taste+volume/calorie ratio. Pumpkin is badass.

    I have to eat something not intentionally good for you. Rice Krispie treats are my friend. Or a big bowl of Cool Whip with fresh berries!
