    I used to drink a lot of Coke Zero and that gave me a huge sweet cravings. Once I cut it way back that made a difference. Other stuff like ice cream I just had to quit cold turkey. Sometimes its just the joy of hormones, too.
    I used to eat so much milk chocolate. Now I will get a few squares of dark chocolate of good quality and eat it very slowly and really enjoy it.

    Can't say enough about Quest Bars. Soooo good to satisfy sweet cravings. Packed with protein and low on carbs as they're jacked with fiber!

    I have a huge sweet tooth also...it's HUGE! If I could I'd make sundaes all the time with chocolate, caramel sauce...I love to bake, I love cookie dough, oreos and milk...fancy coffee drinks...candy! I have found that if I could look at something like a motivation picture that helps and if not, a frozen banana tastes kind of like ice cream, suar free or low calorie hot chocolate packets...mints...waldens(sp?) farms makes a chocolate sauce...it's ok but sugar, carb and calorie free!

    I do too. I would prefer to eat dessert for all my meals. I've done a few things. I will bake only 2 cookies from cookie dough that I have in the fridge. I portion out chocolate chips and a tbsp of peanut butter and nibble on that. As much as some say the 100 calorie snacks aren't good, they do come in handy. I do not deny myself anything or else I could potentially do worse damage. Moderation as cheesy as it sounds. I've tried pineapple and certain fruit, but that doesn't work for me :cry: So I have to have myself a treat. And it is daily. If you come up with anything please let me know!

    You can try other healthy versions of things like cake and cookies and things like that. I make a chocolate peanut butter mug cake when i have a lot of extra calories left over. Its about 330 cals per serving, but doesn't have flour or sugar in it! and has 34g of protein! I love them!

    I found a couple low-cal sweet treats on Pinterest recently. One is a frozen hot chocolate and the other was a vanilla mocha frappe. I believe 50 - 80 per serving. They have lots of recipes for one mug stuff that you can fit into your meal plans. Best wishes!

    I like to freeze a banana, then add vanilla almond milk, walnuts, and unsweetened shredded coconut into a food processor and it makes a delicious low calorie treat!

    Hi!

    I'm addicted to chocolate myself, it's been 33 days since I had some. Lately, I usually get Artic Zero frozen desserts; you get about 37 calories per 1/2 a cup and about 150 calories per pint. They're low in sugar as well...

    Sometimes an "un sundae" works for me, any fruit of your choice and any nuts topped with chocolate syrup (1-2 tbsp only). The fruit and nuts fill you up and the chocolate syrup gets the sweet tooth. Also try with yogurt or frozen whipped topping. Also a tsp of nutella and a tsp of peanut butter together...it's super sweet and filling. I try to just have less of whatever dessert I am craving....purposely share with others ( I never used to share dessert but it really helps). Try Cooking Light for lightened up recipes

    Idk exact calories on this but it's a weight watcher recipe and only 1 point. 1 full chocolate graham cracker broke in half, put 1 tblsp fat free cool whip on it and put top half of graham cracker on top. Freeze. Taste just like an ice cream sandwich, maybe even better!!

    I mix cottage cheese or greek yogurt with a tablespoon of instant sugar free pudding powder. The cottage cheese tastes like pudding and the yogurt comes out like a mousse.

    Try mixing 1/4 cup Fage Greek Yoghurt 0% with 1/4 cup Light Yoplait Banana Creme Pie Yoghurt, add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and fruit of your choice. I use a sm. amount of blueberries (lots of sugar in them), and 5 med. strawberries (cut into bite size pieces). Stir gently and enjoy! For special occasions, just add topping of Light Whipped Cream. Uuummm good....

    Ok, this sounds strange, but I adore hot jello to cure a sweet craving!
    One mug full of boiling water mixed with a packet of sugar free jello powder plus a handful of ice cubes to cool it off a tad.
    Toldja it was strange, but it helps!
