My Sweet Tooth Problem.. HELP

You can have a treat just make sure it fits into you day. Also portion control. If you try to give it up all together you will not stick with it. PORTION< PORTION< PORTION.

The Fiber One 90 calorie brownies are yummy! I also like honey roasted peanuts - just enough sweet. I've also snacked on frosted mini-wheats, chocolate cheerios. If I'm really craving, I usually turn to snack size York peppermint patties - just 1 or 2.

If you like baked goods then I reccomend 100 calorie snacks. Fiber One makes a pretty good chocolate fudge brownie bar that is 90 cals. My favorite is banana pudding. So I use ramekins (small dishes) and make small portions with reduced fat vanilla wafers. Sometimes frsh fruit can help with the sweet tooth as well. Since it's been hot lately, sugar free popsicles may do the trick as well. Good Luck with finding a satisfactory snack!

I had the same problem. Sweets were my weakness. I would recommend getting rid of all those types of foods from your house and don't buy them anymore. It's hard at first, but going cold turkey works. I very rarely crave any sweets now and if I do, it doesn't stick around long.

I have a HUGE sweet tooth too. When I tried to cut it out completely I ended up binging on it. So instead I allow myself to have something sweet for dessert, everyday. I just make sure that I have enough calories for it. That way I can still have what I like and not have to deal with the horrible cravings. Also you could try getting the mini candies or cut a regular in half.
Good luck

REMEMBER: the problem with artificial sweeteners is that it tends to make people crave more sweets which in turn may cause a binge in real sweets. BE AWARE and be in control. Good luck!

Allow yourself a treat:

Mini ice cream cup

A classic popsicle

A mini cup cake

Cut a cinnabun into quarters and save/share the rest

idk if sugar free hard candies are good

trail mix

fruit roll-up

jello

I like those "smooshed fruit" strips. You can buy them individually to ensure portion control...and I'd suggest that rather than buying a box. When I feel the need for sugar, one piece will hardly suffice!! (sadly)

They have many different types of strips...and rolls, etc. (Also, Target has their own brand of the smooshed fruit that is less expensive. It doesn't "feel" as healthy to me but something to check out.)

You can have a sweet any day that you need to as long as you log it and count it. Try Deep Chocolate Vitatops--100 cals. Skinny Cow Ice Cream snacks--usually 140 cals.

Second the vote for Vitatops! They're not cheap, but you don't have to eat one every day, save it for when you want a chewy, chocolatey treat! They are soooo good, and have a lot of fiber, so that little serving really fills you up.

Weight Watcher's fudge bars and fruit dream bars are around 100 calories too, and pretty substantial.

I to had an incredible sweet tooth, especially after a meal. I found the longer I satyed away from sweets, the less I grave them. It's been 7 weeks, and now I could pass on any sweet. Also, as somebody else stated, stay away from artificial sweetners. Not only do they increase craving for sweets, but also for food. You can't trick your body. Also, there is some research to indicate that artificial sweeteners actually impede the bodies (livers) ability to disharge fat and other toxins from your body. Thus slowing down the weight loss proccess. The one vice I can't shake is a nice diet fountain Coca Cola. I limit that to twice a week tops. Good luck with those cravings. Also you may try watermelon, canteloupe, and Navel oranges. Yum!
