    Try and chew a piece of gum after eating, sometimes that helps me.

    Fruit, or a small piece of really good chocolate.

    I'm only okay with sweets if I eat something very late in the day and then go to bed not long after.

    Grabbing an apple or pear helped me break the "dessert time" habit. They are sweet, filling - especially when I was already full from the meal, and I didn't want more and more and more.


    I can't keep candy/sweets around and only have one or two pieces. I know it's there and I want it. I was like that when I was thin too 🤷 I think when I was thin it balanced out because I ate less overall and rarely even bought candy or pastries, etc. I *still* don't like cookies.

    I can eat naturally occurring sugars like fruit and such and not have endless cravings. I'm sure that will get eyerolls and woos, but it's what I experience. Maybe it's the fiber difference. Dunno

    Also fruit for the most part.

    Good chocolate or a weighed serving of ice cream are options I will include sometimes.

    I never considered something like that to help my sweet tooth! How many calories would that add to a bottle of water?

    Light snack at work = Brookside choc covered fruit. Limit myself to only when i need it for hunger, and no more than 2 at a time.

    Dessert: have at 8:30 every night. If I have room in calories, Prestige Ice Cream (bi-lo brand), flavor of the month. If I don't have much room, a half serving of wrapped chocolate (Godiva, lindor, etc)

    A serving of Crystal Light is 5 calories per 8oz serving, so you can adjust based on that for your bottle size. You can always adjust for taste if that is too sweet or not sweet enough.

    Yeah, I like those, too. Plus they have some helpful protein, and - last I checked my favorite flavors - none of the sugar alcohols that cause digestive distress for some people.

    ETA: Oops, no - the ones I found that don't have sugar alcohols are the Yasso Greek Yogurt bars. Package looks similar, so I reacted wrong, kneejerk. (The Enlightened ones may be swell, too, but it's Yassos I like and that have protein/no sugar alcohols.)

    Good little chocolates. Ghirardelli, Godiva. I like the little Dove treasures, dark chocolate with peanut butter. There's a local chocolate place that makes little chocolate peanut butter creams. Totally worth the 50-60-ish calories.

    Up your protein, that usually helps me. If I'm craving sweets after dinner, I'll have a chocolate protein bar. I like the PowerCrunch bars, those are pretty good and low sugar.
