    Sugar free fudgesicle. That's the only thing that works for me. Its sweet, refreshing. low carbs, low calorie and it dosnt taste like splenda or another sugar substitute.

    I've found cinnamon graham crackers help when I have a craving. They are still 130 calories per serving, but that's better than a candy bar. I also chew a lot of gum. It keeps my mouth busy and it helps some with the sweet craving.

    Drink lots of water that will keep you from beinghungry and you will not think of that sweet tooth.

    I made some "ice cream sandwiches" for today Fat free grahm crackers and Sugar free cool whip they taste just like ice cream not all the calories

    I feel for you in that area. I use to be really bad with chocolate, I still can be if it is about 1-1/2 weeks before AF is suppose to show up. How I have handled the major craving is through different foods (other than chocolate) fresh fruits-grapes, necterines, oranges, ect as long as they are sweet. I have also found great success with the yoplait low fat yogurt, like the strawberry shortcake, boston cream pie, apple turn over, ect...they are only 100-110 calories per container(per serving) and what I have found out is that it actually tastes just like what it says on the container. Also there are some sugar free candies that are made for diabetics that are better for you if you actually need that chocolate fix. They are sold at Walmart in the gum/candy isle

    I love Luna bars- They make a mini that is 80 cals and 4 grams of protein, it's high in folic acid and a good source of calcuim. Caramel Nut Brownie is my favorite flavor.

    Plain Bournville chocolate helped me overcome my sweet tooth.
    Also, sugar free chewing gum - that'll kep your mouth busy, or bread sticks to occupy your fingers.
    I used to have mints, but found that they actually do more harm than good to your tooth enamel - my dentist told me to have mints in moderation after that - shame, I love mints - oh well, that's life.
    Could always try taking a box of ready prepared salad or fruit - celery, cucumber, grapes, apple...
    Good luck :flowerforyou:

    Get you some hershey kisses, take ONE and put it in your mouth and let it MELT! Works everytime for me! Goes well with a glass of water!

    Raisins....a handful usually is sufficient.
