So I have a bad case of sweet tooth and it always gets me in the end.

I know moderation is a good element, but when I have multiple cravings throughout the day for various sweets (chocolate, ice cream, ect), I'd prefer to have something healthy to satisfy that.

What's a good-for-you alternative to nomming not-so-great for you snacks?

    I'm in the same boat. I eat a lot of fruit, yogurt, and I eat vegan chocolate truffles from my friends shop. One per day is pretty healthy.

    Hershey's nuggets. Only 50 calories each. Break one in half and let it melt...do not chew. One (or two) will totally satisfy me and break the craving and it's not a diet food...it's actual real chocolate

    Frozen fruit is fantastic!
    Also, slice a banana in half and put a few chocolate chips in. Wrap in tin foil, put it in the oven for a while and enjoy!

    Extra Dessert Delights gum often helps with a sweet craving, love the key lime and mint chocolate flavors.

    I found this on another blog...I LOVE cheesecake, but it doesn't love me back. Instead, I bought low fat graham crackers, top with light chream cheese and sugar free preserves. 2 crakers are 220 calories. It is sooooooo good and satisfies my sweet tooth quite nicely. Good luck.

    Hershey Kisses! They only have like 22 calories per kiss, I think a serving is between 6 and 9 of them. Pop one in your mouth when you get that craving and let it melt, don't just chew it.

    Extra Desserts flavored gum - my new fav is the Apple Pie...there are so many now that you can pretty much nip any craving in the bud. I also have found that if it's REALLY a bad craving day at the office - if I have a Diet Root Beer and drink it really slowly, it seems to help. I actually set it next to my water and sip the water in between the soda...it works for me - good luck to you!!:flowerforyou:

    Plain greek yogurt with 2 tsp brown sugar mixed in. Tastes a lot like cookie dough.

    I chew gum or eat a square of Godiva or Ghirrardeli dark chocolate - only about 60 calories and very rich! I also like to drink crystal light a few times a day instead of plain water. It seems to keep the sweet tooth at bay :) Sometimes, I slice up an apple, put zero calorie spray butter on it, then top it with cinnamon and splenda or stevia, and let it cook in the oven. Tastes like apple pie filling.

    Luna bars are also made especially for women and the calories content is alot less that a candy bar plus it fills you for a few hours. :happy:

    I am loving you for this idea. I love love cheese cakes but haven't had one since I started my weight loss journey. will try this soon on low fat grahams. Thanks a ton. :smile:

    I eat Dove dark chocolate (42 cals a piece) and edy's 1/2 fat chocolate fudge brownie ice cream (120 cal)...which is amazing. I refused dessert pizza at a buffet the other day for my ice cream when I got home. I also make deals with myself, like if I eat this candybar, then I have to work out for 30 minutes. I never deprive myself, and that's what has keeped me going for over a year.
