Frozen medjool dates. Weird but they take forever to eat and they're soooo sweet.
Oh I like the sound of that I'm definitely going to try it!0 -
I love gummy bears and sour patch kids.
1. Tart dried cherries. Emphasis on the tart, sweet cherries are not as good. These ones are amazing. They taste like the best fruit snacks ever. I have a small handful with some almonds. Also, great for oatmeal.
2. a truffle or square of chocolate. I love to stop at the chocolate shop and just buy one truffle (or some hot coco)
3. Tea. The ones that are dessert flavors. Add a little sweetener and milk and you feel like you are having, cookies, ice cream or whatever. Chocolate flavored, or vanilla, or hazelnut or caramel are my favorites.
4. Tangerines or kumquats. Their sweet tart flavor remind me of the best features of gummy candies
5. ANd if I have to have something processed: cliff kids twisted fruit or fruit roll up brand simply fruit twists. These are excellent to solve the sweet tart craving and only have 55-70 calories.0 -
I suspect there's one or two of us here who might admit eating an excess of sweets has contributed to our bodies that are clearly to short for our weight.
I'm curious as to what each of us does to help curb or satiate the urges. In my case, I have a container of Black Forrest Gummy Bears sitting on my desk at work. If one just chews or sucks slowly you can make one piece (8.5 calories) last for quite some time which in turn takes my mind off of the "need" for candy. For so few calories per “bear” I think it's a pretty cheap way of maintaining control.
Any other ideas that are working for "Ya all"?
Nothing will or would work for me AT ALL, apart from cutting out sweets completely.
I adore sweets, I love them so much I could quite easily forego all other food if I could just eat sweets all day.
If I were to start eating just one or two, it escalates, my willpower goes to pot and before I know it, I am buying sweets morning, noon and night and the weight starts to creep back on. That's why I am now trying to lose weight.
No, the only way I curb the sweet-tooth is to grit my teeth and purposely ignore cravings for sweets for the first two or three days and then the craving seems to disappear. If I were to have just one or two now though...... it would be a bad move for me.0 -

Nestle has hot chocolate that's only like 80 calories a cup (with water) That normally does it for me. Also, a piece of dark chocolate and water (I like water and chocolate together for some reason!?)0

It's a new thing for me, but I'm trying out the Yoplait Whips! Chocolate Mousse style treats. It's just enough chocolate to knock the craving off, but I don't feel too bad about it. It's a learning process. I'm open to suggestions!
Oh, I freeze them, so it's almost like ice cream.0 -
Wine Gums are pretty good too.
Dark chocolate.
I was very disappointed when I discovered wine gums contain no wine.
I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but a bit of dark chocolate is perfect when I want something sweet.0 -
