    When I start craving sweets at night its my cue that I'm ready for bed. I may not go to bed right away, but I've learned to understand and ignore that craving and I do try to go to bed ASAP.

    Maybe some sugar-free gum? If you just want something "sweet", try brushing your teeth...minty fresh and discourages you from eating afterward (since you would have to do it again). Personally, I like my coffee with a hint of non-dairy creamer at night, or Swiss Miss hot chocolate made with water (there's already milk in the mix) - about 60 calories.

    I make sure to leave about 150-200 calories for after dinner sweets. I love them so I don't abstain and this keeps me from feeling like I'm missing something that I really enjoy.
