Since it's a natural (not processed) sugar, it digests mostly in your mouth. So, have a tablespoon full, swish it around, then swallow. Of course, real sugar like maple syrup is not cheating.
Yeah, how is that theory working out for you?0 -
Imagine a really disgusting food that you don't like and picture yourself eating the two foods mashed together. It's pretty good at stoping a craving. If on the other hand, you want to give in to your craving, I'd go with the other posters and say have a little amount rather than going crazy. Good luck!0

If I give in to it fresh dates 66 Cals each... they are so sweet 1 or at the most 2 will do it!
If i don't give in i sweet a fresh slice of lemon into the next glass of water... sharp fresh and refreshing i don't want sweet after that!!!!
That is why I'm Lemon Diva!0 -

If you have the calories available eat what you are craving for. If you don't have enough available calories you could exercise and eat back your surplus calories to allow you to have your treat. You don't have to deprive yourself; we all just need to make sensible choices. Enjoy your treat, don't beet yourself up about it and savour it knowing you’re in control.0

Why don't you buy sugar free jellies? It only has like 9 calories per serving, I usually have double the servings, so it's not actually that bad. It's nice and sweet just like regular jelly.
I prefer Orange and the Lemon and Lime ones. If I know I've had something a little high in sugar for Breakfast or Dinner, I will make a jelly for the Evening and have some if I am craving something sweet.
It's quite hard, I have trouble getting past those cravings, sometimes you have to give in at least once in your diet or else you are just going to go insane and you will be unhappy and it could cause you to become a bit wobbly on your diet overall.0 -

Eat what ur craving, but dont hog out on it. "Taste it." Everything in moderation. Just have a few bites, a small piece... quench the craving, and then move on.0

I eat some sweets
Or I don't.
Depends on whether I have enough calories left for the day.0 -
I eat them if it's really bad, or I'd just give in later and eat an entire pack of biscuits or something!
Sometimes I have an Options Wicked White Hot Chocolate, which is about 40cals and totally worth it with a Rich Tea (35cals) and that wards it off.
Or Hartleys Sugar Free Jelly which is only about 40cals with a tiny bit of Squeezy Condensed Milk from the tube on it.
I have a sweet tooth so these are my coping mechanisms, hope they help!0 -
I hug my wife or daughter.
