    Same with me, huge sweet tooth. A couple things that I eat to help curb my sweet appetite are:

    1 package of sugar free pudding mix (any flavor), 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, and 1 cup skim milk all mixed and then refrigerated. Makes (2) 140 calories serving treats that will keep you full because of the added protein.

    Frozen fruit with just a small amount (1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon) of cereal.

    1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1 packet of truvia, 1/2 apple chopped, drizzle of honey. This is very filling and taste great.

    I'm the same, and I agree with the small spoon idea! I eat dessert always with a tiny little teaspoon, its much better. I've started having little pots of jelly (or jell-o)? - sorry I'm British and im sure American Jelly = Jam for me! anyways - sugar free jelly is less than 10 calories a pot and is great just for that little bit of sweetness at the end of the meal, also freshens your pallette.

    Also, I LOVE sorbet, and having this instead of ice cream cuts out a lot of fat, think they tend to be high in sugar still but less fat and calories.

    Hope this helps :)
