    Welcome! I'm a fan of sugar free fudgecicles in the summer for sweet, or carmel rice cakes. Summer is a great time for yummy sweet fruit!!

    Cut up an apple and put it in a plastic baggie, add a little splenda and a little cinnamon. It tastes like apple pie! For a hot treat wrap the apple mix in foil and bake until tender! It tastes like pie but has the calories of an apple! Who can beat that!
  • I have thing for chocolate and I recently found out that simple sugars increase your appetite. I was eating so much chocolate everyday and I was always hungry. So I cut out all simple sugars, meaning white bread, white rice, fruit, chocolate, etc. and my appetite has gone way down. So, I know that wasn't the advice you were asking for, but I thought I would share that. Because when I was eating sugar, it was like the more I ate, the more I wanted it. Now i'm fine. I took up drinking tea--for me that was a life saver. I drink mine plain but a friend said that when she wants something sweet she adds a little honey and it satisfies that craving for her.

    I totally agree. One thing I have found is agava nectar. It makes me think of honey but does not have the affects on your blood sugar like sugars do. I do love frozen yogurt. Welcome and good luck :happy:
