What Do You Do For the Occassional Sweet Tooth?

Every once in a while I really want something sweet. I've never really been a fan of chocolate. I absolutely love fruity candy like Twizzlers, Gummy Worms, Runts, etc.

What are some of the low calorie sweets you use to curb your cravings?

That's a tough one! There are sugar free candies out there, but they aren't nutritious and can be hard on the tummy! If you are craving pure sugar, there is a suppliment called gymnema (sp?) that works wonders!

Fage 0 greek yogurt then I douse it with stevia or sweetner and add vanilla or a TBS of cocoa powder (10 calories). or I make a smoothie with frozen berries 1/2 banana and douse it with stevia or equivelent and freeze it and eat it like ice cream. I usually use almond milk or fat-free cow milk depending on how many calories I want it to be

yummy dried fruit or sugar free candy or pudding if i need some chocolate

I used to have a bad sweet tooth, I no longer crave candies and chocolates but I think it's because I totally cut it out of my diet and they say that if you can do it for a few weeks, it becomes a habit.

All fruit frozen bars only 45 calories per bar. Just beware, everyone will like them so every time I go to have one, they are usually gone.

Fruit

There are all kinds of hard candies that are in the sugar free aisle at Walmart.

i bought some 100 cal protein bars (cliff bars) and as well york peppermint patties. As far as candy goes, licorice ( twizzlers) and the like ( anything red....jujubes, jellybeans etc...) i can't just have the 1 serving size and quit so better not to start. I also made homemade trail mix and threw in some yogurt covered raisins and some dark chocolate chips with almonds, walnuts , pumpin seeds, sunflower seeds, raisins and cranberries......a 1/4 serving is about 160 cals and feels like cheating.

Last night i bought some strawverry yougurt (frozen) , had some last night while the fam was having ice cream.

there are mini kinder surprise chocolate bars that are only 70 calories each. c: and Dairymilk Thinsation chocolate bars are way bigger and only 100 cals each Also there's a carnation hot chocolate packet that's only 45 cals :DD

For me its not so much about low calorie as it is about small portion. I keep a supply of those dove chocolate squares and Starburst fruit chews in a container far way from anywhere that could be considered a lounging area (couch, computer area, etc). So, when I want something sweet, I have to get up and go over there. The nice thing about having those small snacks is that it is much easier to portion out a little so I usually have 2 or so instead of a whole candy bar, bag of chips, etc. For me, it works great because it keeps me from oversnacking.

I agree with this. I love small, easy to portion candies (M&Ms!!!), and I keep mine far away from me, too. Seems to me like gummies and twizzlers could actually be perfect, just portion them smaller and enjoy!

A fiber one brownie. 90 calories and delicious! I know there are better choices but if it keeps me from eating something far worse, I'll take it.

I buy a bar of dark chocolate when I go to the grocery store and limit myself to one square a day. Right now I've got a bar of Ghirardelli 72% Intense Dark Chocolate. I also sometimes eat fruit like plums or clementines if I'm craving something sweet or I'll just eat something bad and eat less of it, like the other day I had a small scoop of BR Jamocha Almond Fudge.

Aldi Fit and Active Wildberry Sorbet & Ice Cream bars... 110 calories, 1 gram of fat and a few grams of fiber... they are amazing!

I love Dove's Dark Chocolate or a good glass of chocolate milk made with Hershey's Lite Chocolate Syrups (1/2 the sugar, 1/5 the cals, 1/2 the carbs--with ingredients that I can pronounce. Win!)
