    I would just plan a lower calorie sweet snack for the evening.

    For several months of this experience I combined fiber intake with sweet dessert by scheduling 40 g of prunes each evening. Sweet fiber.

    One of my greatest struggles is that I have basically NO DISCIPLINE when it comes to food. I can eat healthy alll day but then I get a craving for something sweet and it's like if I don't get it I'm gonna go crazy...does anyone have any tips on how to develop discipline with my food choices? It's the only thing holding me back on my weight loss since I exercise almost everyday of the week

    How many calories do you generally consume prior to the craving?

    There's pretty much 2 choices (broad range of degrees to each) but moderation & elimination. Some can have a small treat and fit it into their daily calories, some can't. Some need to keep trigger foods completely out of the house. I'm in the category of not keeping things in the house. I tried the moderation thing, didn't work for me. Being lazy, is extremely helpful too, because no matter how badly I might want ice cream, I'm way too lazy to drive there 99.5% of the time.

    Yes, I've been trying really hard to moderate (real) ice cream, and have found that while I can now stop at one serving, it just makes me hungry and so is empty calories plus more calories unless I want to go to bed hungry, which would lead me to wake up hungry and not be able to get back to sleep until I do.

    It's just not worth it to me to have these types of food in the house.

    I can satisfy a sweet craving with fruit or small amount of chocolate chips.
