    I don't really have much of a sweet tooth except for when I'm pms'ing.

    Or so I thought. ;) Then I realized I eat something sweet almost every day--fruit, ice cream, dark chocolate, frozen Greek yogurt bars like what Yasso makes. If I go a long time w/o having something like that, then I start to crave sweets like crazy--and the craving is usually for the more potent, high-calorie sweet packages. A piece of fruit wouldn't cut it at that point lol. So I guess my remedy is to make "sweets" part of my regular diet but w/o eating things that are *really* high in sugar. I love brownies and sundaes with caramel topping, for example, but I eat those only rarely bc they're relatively high calorie and don't give me much nutrition. The other stuff that I eat fits fine on a daily basis for me and keeps me from craving brownies. (I find it hard to limit myself to one serving of a brownie--they're so small!--but I'm fine with 1 serving of ice cream.)

    I'll sometimes have a piece of dark chocolate. It's not so sweet and it also has a decent amount of caffeine. It perks me up after lunch.

    The 60 calorie sugar free Jello Puddings hit the spot with me.

    I eat a small Belgian chocolate every evening. An individually wrapped portion is 10gr and 55 kcal. I break up the square in 16 pieces (4*4) and that gets me through an episode of whatever series before going to bed. The 70% is so intense in flavour, it lingers for quite some time.
