I HAVE to have something sweet everyday.. and I'm getting tired of sugar free jello pudding things and things like that.. yesterday i had a york peppermint pattie and half of a choco taco.. and it fit inside of my calorie intake for the day and i also worked out.. is it okay to treat myself with fatty high calorie sweets like once a week as long as the other 6 days i have some like the pudding or frozen yogurt or something..

    I enjoy sweets daily too and have found a satisfying substitute with Wyler's frozen italian ice popsicles. They are the liquid ones in the clear wrapper and then you freeze them. They are very tasty. I found them at CVS for less than $2 a box and a box has lasted me going on 3 weeks now and i eat them daily. they are 25 calories a popsicle and come in a variety of flavors. They are not like hard ice like the generic ones, but a much softer, smoother ice.

    Cures my sweet tooth most of the time.

    It's OK to treat yourself. Just log it and pay attention to not over indulge. Don't beat yourself up. Just remember moderation.

    How about a peanut butter luna bar or a white chocolate macadamia luna bar?

    Definitely! Most of the dietitians I know eat very healthily and most of them eat chocolate every day! Just a 25g portion so enough to give the taste with not too many calories. As long as you are having foods high in nutrition the rest of the time, I think small treats daily are ok.

    I take two Dove Promises dark chocolate squares (45 calories each) and melt them in the microwave. I can dip about 6 strawberries in this amount. Refridgerate for 2-3 hours until the chocolate hardens. VERY satisfying, all natural and only about 110 calories!

    i stick to the sugar free jello and puddings too but like you eeeeevery once in a while i gotta cheat...lol what i have tried to do is keep f the skinny cow ice creams in the house. i dont think they are sugar free just portioned so you are eating a decent amount of calories and are super yummy. oh and one more thing, yoplait has a blueberry pie yogurt that if they ever stop selling i will boycott the company. if u havent already tried it do it!!! lol

    Special K bliss bars are good when you need a sugar fix (I like to have them after lunch with my cup of tea! Yum!) - and I love love love frozen grapes! So sweet and cold and soft and yummm!!

    I thought I just had a sweet tooth too,until I cut out processed sugars completely and stopped craving anything sugary. I would wholeheartedly recommend it....I couldnt get through a day without some chocolate or a biscuit. Now I have something sweet when I fancy it, but don't need ot every day. Failing that,aero yoghurt/mousse are good...less than 100 cals per pot.

    As far as GI and GL are concerned, the best treat to treat yourself with is a few Peanut M&M's.

    I'm on a strict low GI diet and these still fit in my category of under 50. I find I can have a few (and even a few more than a few) and my diet is still on track.

    That sounds yummy. Thanks for the idea!-)

    I also HAVE to have something sweet everyday. I usually keep hershey sugar free dark chocolate miniatures or a small carton of frozen yoguart in the freezer. I eat a very lowfat diet, so a little extra fat doesn't hurt. I just have to make sure I don't go overboard!
