I'm a sweet-aholic and fruit sugar is not helping....I've been trying to cut out desserts all together, but then find myself craving it even more...Please help!

    fit some of the things you like into your daily cals, maybe take 10-15% of your caloric allowance and use them for whatever you want.

    I eat a lot of protein bars because they make me feel like I am eating a candy bar... I been eating them for a long time so for me I love them and they work... But some people cant stand them, and/or you have to find the right one.

    I'm the same way. I still allow myself the sweets I crave because I know if I dont then I'm doomed to fail eventually. I've learned that I can handle eating just half a chocolate bar instead of the whole thing and I've also discovered "Skinny Cow" candy! It's amazing! You just have to find what works for you. You can still have your sweets...you just have to make sure you fit it into your daily calorie allotment. :)

    If you have a Trader Joe's near you, they have 70 cal mini ice cream cones and 60 cal mini mint chocolate chip cookie sandwiches; both are delicious. I also eat a lot of the Edy's/Dreyer's Slow Churned individual ice cream cups; they range from about 170-190 cals depending on flavor.

    If you're more of a candy person, try the Skinny Cow Milk or Dark Chocolate Clusters. They kind of taste like a 100 Grand candy bar, only for 120 cals.
