    Nature Valley Granola Thins with Dark Chocolate

    Just tried one of these today. They're awesome! Very filling too.

    When I'm craving sweets, I just move away from the kitchen and find something else to do. After a while, I'll forget about it.

    tried this recipe tonight..really yummy, satisfied the craving but under 130 calories (as long as you make 12 cookies from the recipe and eat one). even a couple is ok if you have the calorie room for the day. http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-chocolate-chip-cookies/

    Fiber one bars oats and chocolate are amazing! They taste like a candy bar and are really good for you and are actually filling

    I'll sometimes have a small bit of whatever it is I'm craving. Like 1 or 2 pieces off of a Kit-Kat. Which is my candy bar weakness. Or I have sweet snacks to cut the sweet cravings, like Nature Valley bars. I get the dark chocolate and nut ones--they're pretty much held together with honey and I love that honey and chocolate flavor. My husband prefers the Fiber One version, chocolate and oats. That one has a nice drizzle of chocolate on top of the whole bar too. 140 calories and they make a great snack.

    If I have one of those when I'd normally have a snack anyway, it makes it easier to say no to the bad stuff later.

    Sounds weird, but if you brush your teeth, you won't want to eat sweets. Works for me :)

    I do something to keep me mega-busy (take my mind off it) and usually the craving goes away. If it doesn't, then I will have whatever I'm craving. If the craving is persistent (ie over hours) it's usualy your body telling you something!

    I do something else....
    -Think about something else
    - Eat something else
    - Exercise
    -Look at my fat pics
    -Drink water
    -Drink diet coke


    I don't crave sweets in general, but I crave like ice cream when it is visibly there in front of me. I get a popsickle they are usually under 100 calories when im at the cinema- better than popcorn filled with butter!!
