    I totally get what you mean. I have those too. Whenever I want something sweet, I eat a little bit, but try not to go overboard. All things in moderation, right?

    I feel the same! I'd love to have more tips as well.

    What I do right now is buy a bag of frozen mangoes and frozen berries. Put about a cup into a bowl and let it thaw just a little. If I feel like a big snack to, I make a smoothie with light vanilla soy milk and a half a banana.

    Jello sugar free pudding. I like the Boston Cream Pie. Super decadent and only 60 calories.
    I also like the yoplait delights lemon torte yogurt. It tastes just like a lemon pie. Those always get me through an emergency craving.

    Individually wrapped candies... like Dove chocolates. Sometimes a Lifesaver candy or a candy cane helps, and those are low calories. Sometimes I eat Nutella on toast for breakfast... YUM.

    yogurt sometimes works... or at the very least will make you feel sick enough that you don't want to eat anything else... @_@

    Have you heard/read that sweet cravings can be caused by not having enough protein in your diet? I have a massive sweet tooth, so I'm trying to remedy it without giving in to the sweet cravings... It's working so far! I haven't craved chocolate in a few days!

    I have a major sweet tooth too. I discovered last night that Apple sliced thinly and dipped in Dream whip takes care of my need to munch (like chips) and the sweet tooth, the dream whip is reasonably low cal too.

    My Favorite is No Pudge Fudge cause you can make single servings and it doesnt take up to many calories!! it does the trick!!

    If I have a craving for something more candy bar like, I will have a protein bar. (300 calories). If it I am looking for something colder I go for tart frozen yogurt smoothies from Swirlberry (about 400 calories). These usually do the trick. If I do not have enough calories available for the day, I will go to Apple Cinnamon rice cakes )50 calories). Of course any fresh fruit will work, though I prefer fresh strawberries sprinkled with a small amount of Stevia

    oooh am I allowed to say actual candy?? that's low fat? because I like 3 muskateers mini snack size bars. Fig newton cookies (figs inside a cookie) 90 cals for 2 cookies and very very sweet. Jello pudding cups, sugar free, are very decadent and chocolately for only 60 cals. I got some Frozen Artic faux ice cream today in maple vanilla flavor and it's 150 cals for a pint. Can't think of anything else :-)

    I eat Nabisco 100 cal Mister Salty Milk Chocolate Pretzels. Love them and they are the perfect size for a snack. :) I also agree with everything everyone has said already. What great ideas! :)

    My go to sweet thangs are my no sugar added fudgesicles. They are only 40 calories and 2 g of fat in 1 bar. That has really helped me when I was something chocolately at night (which is alot!). Good luck in finding what works for you.

    There are quite a few 100 calorie packs that are sweets, my favorite is Hostess Mini Strawberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese in the middle. I also like the Skinny Cow ice creams.

    I have a wicked sweet tooth, as well. I love fruit snacks. Welch's brand or Target brand are good at 90 calories. They taste like candy to me but much less calories.

    Two books you need to have for a sweet tooth. 1. Body for Life Cookbook and 2. South Beach Diet cookbook. There is a dessert section in both books. The desserts are fantastic!

    Sugar free gum, chocolate calcium chews, Jello Indulgence pudding ( I love Caramel flavor) If I haven't eaten my lunch protein I mix 8 oz skim milk with 6 oz frozen strawberries and a few spoons of splenda in the blender, it comes out the consistancy of soft serve ice cream and taste like homemade.:wink:

    Popcorn, Indiana Cinnamon Kettle Corn is completely addicting...only 130 calories and 7grams of sugar for 2 1/2 cups!

    I also love - Veggie Straws because they are crunchy and salty like chips.

    I switch up the sweet then salty at work and save the Skinny Cow varieties for after dinner. :blushing:

    I also love to add 2teaspoons of instant decaf. coffee to Sugar Free Vanilla pudding mix and use Skim milk to make Cappacino pudding...then add cinnamon to a giant spoonful of Cool Whip Lite to go on top...SOOOO good and only 100calories.
