how do you satisfy your sweet tooth?!

lizrha · October 2010

So I'm pretty good with exercising (dance 3 times a week) and running and such...and calorie-counting isn't as much of an issue as it used to be...

BUT I can't find anything that'll satisfy my sweet tooth! Mostly for chocolate. And ice cream :P.

Help??

HI! Those are my two EXACT downfalls. ESPECIALLY ice cream.
I like to have some PB on a butter-flavored rice cake...or cinnamon flavored soynut butter its pretty tasty!

Sorbet or 25% of a serving of 70% dark chocolate.

lizrha · October 2010

Ooo that actually sounds really good! Thanks

fiberone bars are pretty amazing, i love the chocolate & caramel ones.
9 grams of fiber too!!

Hershey Kisses. I just eat one or two at a time and really try to savor it! Works like a charm for me. Good luck.

Weight watchers have several really low calorie treats. There are some ice cream cups that are great. Also, I found these lhelps me ittle chocolate cream filled cake things made by Weight Watchers - they are rally good and low in calories too.

Fat free chocolate pudding is good- only 100 calories! There are also now some Special K chocolate pretzel bars that are only 90 calories. Either one of these is good!!\

Ice cream is a downfall for us also, and let me tell you- we just don't buy it at all. If we would have it in house, it would be gone.

BUT - you can also try the WW or skinny cow fudge bars- low in cals, delicious, and will satisfy both ice cream and chocolate for you!!

I like a couple things- I chop bananas put pb and honey on it- then freeze it- yummy!
But if nothing "healthy" helps my cravings I will have a bowl of cocoa rice krispy cereal.
Hot cocoa or chocolate milk helps too

stick with it your doing great!

I love,no I am addicted to cookies....so I found me a cereal ( Puffins Peanut Butter) that tastes to me just like cookies, without the damage and realized there is a crereal for almost any craving.

As for icecream, try "skinny cow" icecream, it is yum-o and it is low cal and has fiber and protein added.
Though I do have a cheat day, once a week I allow myself one treat, that seems to keep the sweet cravings at bay.I also find eating every 3 hrs helps my blood sugar level, so I dont crave much of anything anymore.
Hope this helps....

skinny cow has some great products for your ice cream craving. I have tried the sundaes and the ice cream bars and both are delicious.
I find for me that i can't self portion sweets or treats so anything prepackaged works for me. Thinsations chocolate covered pretzels in the 100 cal packs work amazingly well. or a smoothie or mascerated strawberries....yum.....

Jello Mousse Temptations in dark chocolate--sugar free and 60 calories. Very little fat.

CakeFit21 · October 2010

Really good dark chocolate. The darker the better, it has less sugar and more antioxidants. Also, over the weekend I found Amy's Organic Chocolate Cake, (in the freezer section Whole Foods) 170 cals per serving. Very rich, very chocolate, very good.

lizrha · October 2010

thanks! i'm definitely going to get some skinny cow! lol

kaitimae · October 2010

my favorites are sugar free vanilla pudding (with some low-fat nilla wafers if i'm feeling it) and i also really like whole fruit popsicles. yum!

happinessblossoms · October 2010

Chocolate Cheerios!
Sugar Free Jello Pudding
Frozen grapes

azlady7 · October 2010

yup skinny cow and weight watchers. my fav weight watchers one is their raspberry and chocolate icecream bars. They rock!

dodoodoodo · October 2010

frozen yogurt is what i eat, i don't know if there is a yogurtland or golden spoon near you but they are only 100 calories for a cup and lots of flavors!

rolypoly1 · October 2010

This is interesting....I find that eating every 3 hours or so is keeping my hunger at bay and I am not having cravings at all!!! I get fuller faster too now that I am eating smaller portions!! But when I have a hard craving that won't let go, I have a few squares of dark chocolate and just let them melt slowly and savor them or hot chocolate....notice my downfall is chocolate lol.

bpesano · October 2010

Chocolate almond milk is awesome! Have it plain, or make a smoothie with a little peanut butter or almond butter, and a banana, and maybe a little fat free yogurt for body. Delicious! Half half tonight and the other half for breakfast.

spob · October 2010

Isn't it funny that we all have our chocolate survival tips! One of the ways that I try to get through the need for something decadent is I :drinker: melt pb in the micro and dip apples into it. It's warm and gooey and more of a treat than straight up pb. In the end it is also a good kick to the protein and fruit requirements in my diet!

Jenks · October 2010

lol...when I want ice cream, I eat ice cream :blushing:
I like the little blue bell ice cream cups, just enough to satisfy the craving and it's portioned controlled for me. If you give me a carton of ice cream and and ice cream scoop...well you can imagine portion control wouldn't be the first thing on my mind :laugh:

themommie · October 2010

I love the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches and also the klondike slim bars ( only 100 cals and YUM)
for the chocolate craving a couple herserys kisses or chocolate rice cakes are good

Dispathio · October 2010

Kill two birds with one stone: Hersheys cocoa powder, low fat milk, truvia, lots of ice and vanilla flavor. Mix in blender. a great milk shake.

ksnurse25 · October 2010

I eat a lot of yogurt. I get the thick and creamy (love the texture) in a variety of flavors. Plus, they are only 100 calories per serving! Key lime pie is to die for. You should try it!

gnrshelton · October 2010

For chocolate cravings I eat one no sugar added fudgecicle. (40 calorie) That hits the chocolate and the ice cream craving. For just sugar craving I try chewing gum,100 calorie packs(cookies) or one piece of hard candy. Hope this helps.

megaloox · October 2010

you can make mini chocolate pudding pies and they're only 145 calories. Buy a package of mini graham cracker crusts from Keebler and a package of sugar free fat free instant chocolate pudding. Make the pudding, fill the mini graham cracker crusts, and you've got yourself a nice little pudding pie! They're one of my favorite desserts ;-)

I am new to this site. And the whole weight loss thing as well. I am on a major diet of 1200 cal and less a day. NO SUGARS, Low to no fat, NO bread, NO potatoes, NO red meat, NO pasta. I had recently had a Trigliceride level of 449 so it was way high. I have to really watch what I eat. It is going to be way hard to watch my sweet tooth. And the No support will be so hard. So I came to this site in hopes for some support, and I can track my food on my phone. If anyone has some help I could really use it. Cora.
