I have a sweet tooth but everything I like is sooo high in calories, so wondered what you guys do to curb your sugar cravings? I kinda liked someone's idea on here of a peanut butter smoothie hehe.. but I am sure there must be lots of you that have or have had the same problem and have probably got good solution :D

Thanks

    I have a hard time with sweets too. After seeing a bunch of suggestions about this, I ended up getting some Weight Watchers Chocolate Raspberry ice cream bars. They're soooo good and only 80 calories each. They usually help with my chocolate cravings. There are tons of other flavors in that brand and also Skinny Cow and they aren't so bad calorie-wise. Good luck!

    i could eat sugar like a crack addict smokes crack ... i had to work hard at getting rid of sugar out of my system.. i do get my moments but they are really rare now thankfully. this past month i have been using raw honey on some things to sweeten up some nonfat plain greek yogurt and or in coffee . raw honey is really good for you --according to everyone i talk to and what ive read. all i know from experience is that when i eat healthy long term then i dont crave the sweets like i used to

    If I have the extra calories to spare I'll have a sweet treat, but I keep a box of werthers sugar free hard candies next to my bed just in case my late night sweet tooth kicks in. They're only 8 calories each :)

    Cocoa - roasted almonds. Nutella on my morning toast or English Muffin. (Makes it taste just like a donut!)

    When you have the calories available, sherbet is a great alternative!

    3-2-1 cake. Take the dry ingredients from a box of angel food cake. Take the dry ingredients from any other cake mix you like. Mix them together and store in a ziploc-type bag. When ready for a "piece" of cake, here comes the 3-2-1 part:

    Take 3 TBSP of cake mix
    Take 2 TBSP of water
    Mix them in a coffee cup
    Put them in the microwave for 1 minute

    You have a delicious piece of cake, very satisfying for my sweet tooth, and no leftover cake. You can also top as "needed."

    42 calories.

    Enjoy.

    I drink my "Sweet Creme" shakes twice a day.... they are known as the "shake mix that tastes like a cake mix" so I never crave sweets! There are over 300 recipes to make the shakes taste great~ but I like the plain ones~ fast easy and delicious!!! Plus, I am losing weight!!

    Flavored cream cheese on a half of a whole wheat bagel. Skinney Cow ice cream sandwiches are low in calories too. I always eat yogurt when I am craving sweets. Good luck I hope these ideas help.

    I stay away from sugar free stuff. The stuff they use to replace the sugar is usually worse for you than the calories. My treat is Blue bunny Fudge sickles. I think they are 90 calories and taste great. just don't eat the whole box.

    Saturday, I was feeling like I needed a break. I checked my calories for the week and decided that I wanted cookies for dinner. I had an entire box of cookies and a large glass of chocolate milk. About 1800 calories but it was worth it. No more cravings.

    Greek Yogurt or Ricotta Cheese
    + Stevia/Splenda/Truvia/etc
    + Cinnamon (feel free to add more spices, like nutmeg, clove, etc)
    + Optional - Raspberries

    Murders the sweet tooth without trashing a diet.

    Ha! You and me both! Sugar KILLED my weight loss. I played the "I have the calories" game. To me the best solution is to go cold turkey on the sweets. I'm in my third week of sugar detox.I used to have something sugary everyday. The first week, I made it 3 days without having anything. That week I had two sweet desserts and was over my sugar by 165g's for the week (this was my lowest since October). Last week, I did have a tbsp of nutella one night, but I didn't go over my sugar that day. My final for the week was 30g's over. This week's goal will be to lower that to 10 over or less. Some sugar cannot be avoided. But my cravings aren't like they were those first 3 days....

    I try and eat fruit, grapes, oranges, and my newest thing is red pummelo.

    However, when I want chocolate, I eat Nestle's chocolate chips.

    This is my favorite snack when I have a massive sweet tooth... I take about a tbsp of whipped PB and mix it with 3-4tbsp of cool whip free. It becomes almost like a peanut butter frosting. I just eat it by the spoonful. It's so sweet and so delicious.

    This is NOT 42 calories. If you read the original thread (OK, really, really long) .... most people came up with 110 calories
