Sweet Tooth

Yup I need some tips on this also.... I have a box of Ferrero Roche in front of me.....but 74 calories a pop is a non starter !

Skinny Cow treats work for me. Yum

For one thing, the less you eat of all this, the less you will crave it. I NEVER used to believe it, but now I am living proof it is true. I don't crave it like I used to and I eat far few sweets now than ever. Some of my friends have had the same results as me. Good luck.

Skinny Cow treats work for me. Yum

I have these as well. The sundaes and ice creams are around 100 calories each!
I also have diet weight watchers chocolate mousse, only 66 calories!

I agree that the less you eat of it the less you will crave it. The "crap" in the junk food causes us to want it more I believe, but is something I am still struggling with.
Last week I heard a tip on TV....take a cup of greek yogurt, non fat, plain (the healthy stuff) and mix a packet of diet or sugar free (25 calorie per packet) of swiss miss cocoa and you have a healthy sweet treat. I tried it at first as shared from TV (was pretty good I must say). Then another day I really needed something a little sweeter, so I made it again and add 1 packet of stevia (or your sweetner choice) and it was like thick chocolate pudding and satisfied my sweet need.
I do think part of the key is not to deprive yourself comepletely that is where at least I fall off the healthy trail. Just make a good sweet choice and limit what you give yourself.
Keep trying you will find what works for your sweet need....in my humble opinion what works for one doesn't always work for the next one.
Keep up the good work and keep asking for help and suggestions!!

I indulge, but I make sure I stay within my caloric range. I also make sure it's GOOD chocolate, etc. When you give your body what it really wants, and you truly savour it as you eat it, you'll find you won't crave it as much. You'll be satisfied.

That's why I'm not a believer in sugar-free chocolate, etc. It never tastes as good as the real thing, and the texture's strange. It's also usually loaded with sucralose (Splenda), which is addictive and will make your body crave more of it...AND my body and brain know the difference. It never "hits the spot" as the good stuff does.

No trick. I dont have cravings as i just some chocolate etc whenever i fancy it. I just log the cals, and be sensible. I use fun size bars instead of normal size. No reason to cut them out!

People like me with medical problems, yeah, there are many reasons to cut all of them out.

I eat a weight watchers icecream. I love the dark chocolate raspberry pops. I will eat it at the end of the day though as a "treat" for doing so well throughout the day, It is 80 calories (or two points if you're counting points.) I figure it's better than how I use to eat chocolate which was TONS a every day all day! lol

I still think desserts taste awesome, but those WW icecreams have helped me curb it from eating 100's of a calories a day on candy/sweets to just the 80 at least. Sometimes I might have a 60 calorie yogurt and mix it with 6 tablespoons of lite whipped cream. That amounts to 120 calories. It tastes great frozen too!

Also, I have been eating a lot of fruit, and it has helped because it's tart and sweet. I am not sure if I will ever get rid of my "sweet tooth", but I have definitely been better since I have been watching my diet. Try searching weight watchers recipes. I saw one recipe that used a devils food cake mix and pumpkin puree to make it healthier and less fattening. Never tried it myself though!

I have always been an evening sweets eater, and I think that eating healthy 90% of the day and exercising is enough of a shock to my system at this point. So I save 100 - 200 calories, (sometimes exercise calories) for an evening (8 to 9 pm) snack. For that I can have a half cup Peach frozen yogurt for 90 calories or a Private Selection apple crisp for 160 calories (just like apple pie!) up to peanut butter fudge ice cream for 180. Or an apple cut up and sprinkled with a teaspoon of sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla, microwaved for 2 minutes, for about 75 calories. Or occasionally, even Denali Extreme Moose Tracks ice cream for 240! I find that by waiting till late evening to eat the sweets, the blood sugar issues resolve themselves overnight, so I don't mess up my insulin and start my cravings. By morning, I'm ready for low carb again. I read somewhere that it isn't what you eat in a day, but in a meal (say a 2-3 hour period) that determines whether your body uses it or stores it. So I try for one or two very low carb meals per day and one with protein and complex carbs.

Serious sweet tooth here!

I have been having 3 Hershey's dark chocolate kisses. But I just slowly let them melt in my month. After 3 or 4 (88 calories) I'm usually good.

skinny cow ice cream bars Yummy!!!!!!!
only 100 calories

Every night...I have a treat under 200 cals! My favs are Smart Ones sundaes, Skinny Cow ice creams, 100 cal packs, dark chocolate, or individual Dreyer's ice cream servings.

Stauffer's Chocolate animal crackers 16 crackers 130 calories. When I want Chocolate or oreos, these normally work. I don't eat all 16 at once. The crunch helps too

I have a sweet tooth, and once in a while I need something sweet, last week I found Del Monte Real Fruit frozen fruit bars - I bought the strawberry and kiwi and I love them. The best part they are only 50 Calories!

I also have a sweet tooth. I can easily give up alcohol to save calories but not my desert! I love Dove chocolate bars. I would eat one square slowly for a 40 calories.
