    I buy the 100 calorie packs. The little treats are enough to get rid of the cravings while easily fitting into calories

    I like nuts (walnuts, almonds), coconut flakes (naturally sweet). These are both fatty so you need to be careful about portions, but they are delicious and filling. The added fat will really help with your sugar cravings.

    I'm enjoying some Jolly Rancher Cinnamon candies. Pretty small calorie wise, and since its a hard candy it can satisfy more than eating chocolate for me.

    For me the best way to curb cravings has been to stop "snacking" altogether, instead eat five square meals (almost) every day, aiming for a tasty, balanced and varied diet with enough fat, protein and vitamins, and letting at least one meal a day be pure "comfort food" - fruit, nuts and cheese, or a smoothie, or yogurt with nuts and natural sweetener.

    I like to have clementines or berries.
    mini marshmallows are also delicious :)
    popsicles are wonderful.

    Pork Rinds work well for me plus they have ZERO carbs.

    I just have hot water with natural sweetness in it like a little honey, jasmine, lemon or mint.

    What have people found works best to curb those sweet cravings?!

    Try water with lemon in it. People found works best to curb those sweet cravings. It takes about 5 to10 minutes, so find something else to do. Or try 60% cocoa chips. I think 16 chips are about 80 calories.

    plain yogurt mixed with either peanut butter, raspberries and cinnamon, or unsweetened cocoa powder and peanut butter.
    Or an apple with peanut butter.

    Dark Chocolate or a glass of regular milk. I also make sure I never say I "can't" have anything.

    Or really, anything with protein. It does some magical stomach filling thing to me.

    Ditto. If it's just a small craving I typically put sugar in my tea or coffee. But when I've already had something sweet and I'm looking for more, I have meat or I exercise. Both take the craving away.

    Yep same here. I also really like the Kellogg's Pastry Crisps. Only 100 calories for a package of 2 crisps. They have several flavors including a few chocolate ones (though the berry streusel is my fave).

    OMG, that looks so good. I have never seen chocolate covered bacon, lol. The world seems whole again.

    OP just portion out your treats and fit them in your calories. I have a daily treat, so I don't get massive cravings that lead to binges.

    An apple with about two servings natural peanut butter (make sure the ingredients are only peanuts - nothing else) kills all my cravings for sweet and fatty foods for the day. Also, you could get stevia, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder and whip it into plain greek yogurt or plain cottage cheese for a delish cheesecake like treat

    For the calories in this you could probably eat almost a whole chocolate bar?

    So my suggest would be...chocolate.

    I really need to make some one day, I know that it tastes good though because I think I've had chocolate with bacon before. Plu sbacon with anything sweet is AMAZING, like maple syrup
