Are you suffering from "Unignorable Sweet Tooth Syndrome" too? For some of us our cases are very mild and we only show symptoms once a month, usually accompanied by what we like to call here on MFP as dun da da TOM. *lightining striking, loud thunder* . For others this is a battle we fight everyday...:sad:

I fortunatly only have a very mild case, one that only rears it's ugly head around a certain time of the month. Since I started my journey in April of this year I have come up with a few yummy, easy, cheap (not too unhealthy) sweet snacks that successfully (temporarely) subsides any "Unignorable Sweet Tooth Syndrome" symptoms until the next outbreak:laugh:

    Even with sugar there's only a 30-60ish calorie difference, still not bad!

    I also love to make sugar free, fat free chocolate pudding & use the Cool Whip free

    Skinny Cow vanilla no sugar added ice cream sandwiches = 140 calories, 5g sugar & 5g fiber
    (this has Splenda in it.. some don't like to use Splenda)

    Oh I don't mind Splenda every once in a while, don't use it as much as I use Stevie now but I was using Splenda before last month. . . all the while loosing weight still no biggie. I'm gonna give the sandwiches a try, thanks!

    Yeah, I was going to make the switch from splenda to stevia, but when I was pregnant, stevia wasn't an approved sugar substitute for prego women; but splenda is. So, I've just stuck with the splenda.

    Thanks for the post! I usually don't like sugar-free options since I'm not a fan of the sugar substitutes, but even using the sugar-version of these ideas would be a semi-low calorie and very satisfying treat.

    My favorite Sweet Tooth Syndrome fixer is to eat what I want in all it's sugar and fattening glory... but only have a serving or half a serving, depending on what it is.

    I'm definitely on the lookout for some "healthier" options though.
