Must have desert after dinner

I eat dessert before dinner... that's when I eat dessert..

but to really answer your question..

I am currently battling a sweet tooth. I bought some grapes and have a few of those before bed time. It's helping.

I stay far away from the desert though.. my advice would be dont' go there in the first place..

I usually realize that I am not really hungry, but am actually thirsty. (I have a weird habit of not drinking anything while I eat.) Maybe try to quench a thirst with a glass of water and wait to see if you need something else. Maybe it's just out of habit that you think you need something sweet?

Did you mean dessert(something sweet) or desert(not so sweet)?

Really? Why do you need to ask this? You obviously understand the question. Sigh.

I also love sweets I am one who used to polish off a pint of my favorite ice cream in one sitting. What I found helps me is having mini candy bars or the dove dark chocolate hearts when I feel a sweet craving I can pop one of those in and a lot of times curb my craving. I also Love pop so I have learned to cut back on it and am recently getting into Coffee with a little bit of a good creamer it gives me some of the caffeine I need and some of the sweetness I crave. The calories you will save from being able to cut the portion size is Huge!

Hello
I'm exactly the same. Recently started with some berries, natural yoghurt, seeds and some agave nectar! The first day i was like " damn this is no chocolate replacement" but after a week i've found that it stops the actual sugar cravings if u stick with it. I didn't and need to fet focussed again

How can one get rid of such problem? I always have to have anything sweet after eating lunch or dinner. I wait a few minutes before eating desert. It is so bad. How can I get rid of this way of thinking or this craving I always get? HOW? ....

Brushing your teeth right after dinner may help. Otherwise, keep some lower calorie desserts on hand and save room for the calories.

I find fruit and cocoa roast almonds the perfect dessert most days.

If you need something sweet try warming Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk in the microwave and adding a tablespoon of Dark Chocolate Cocoa. You can even substitute for Sweetened Almond Milk if you need something more.

It's like healthy hot chocolate and tastes amazing!

I love this too! Soooooo good!

I am that way, and I have a square of fancy dark chocolate. I get the expensive good stuff. It's rich, so just a little is more likely to satisfy. And, since I paid a lot, I'm not going to eat the whole bar at once!

There is a thread under the recipes section that tells you how to make a "mug" of angel food cake. It's super low calorie and easy to make. You could probably just google it.

I always eat dessert after lunch and dinner. And usually have cake, muffins or bread by tea time, and sometimes even some chocolate squares O.o my calorie goal is 1869 a day, and I'm loosing weight and fat steady for about 5 months. I just bake everything myself and make sure I include every calorie in the recipe. Plus I use sweateners and less fat (but still use fat). I'm even on the process of making my own chocolate now sweet and low cal, homemade chocolate from scratch. Food is about having fun!

I seriously don't think that eating dessert is bad for your health. Most include milk/eggs/yogurt/jelly/fruit.. I mean seriously why avoid this and end up binge eating everything else?

I usually have a piece of dark chocolate. OR, I add a steviia and cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa to plain, fat-free greek yogurt... makes iit kind of like a high protein pudding :P

I always have pre-portioned ice cream treats in my freezer. I eat one every night.

PS - lots of people mentioned Skinny Cow products, but if you look at the labels of other brands (Snickers, Twix, etc) the nutrition is pretty much the same and in my opinion taste better (and are always cheaper).

I went with low cal choices for a while. If you like cakey stuff, Vitatops are incredible. They're a bit pricey and hard to find (at least in my area) but that was good in a way for me because it helped me kick the habit. I also liked Special K bars - they're like granola bars but with chocolate chips and/or drizzle. Really sweet but usually 120 cal or less.

My other solution was to develop my taste for really good dark chocolate. Like the Ghiradelli 86% cacoa squares. They're kind of bitter at first when you're used to milk chocolate but you get used to them. I never thought I'd say this but they're decadent enough that one square is usually enough.

Mostly though, I made an effort to move on to fruit instead of junk when I wanted something sweet. I eat an apple with my sandwich and have a banana in the afternoon. And sometimes I have trail mix that's got dried fruit or chocolate bits in it.

The most important thing is portion control. As long as it fits into your calorie goal, go for it. Good luck!!
