Sweet tooth

Chocolate rice cakes. Fat free cool whip and fruit. Sugar free jello.

Strawberry sugar-free chewing gum or sugar-free lemon mints
A few squares of organic chocolate
A banana mashed up with either peanut butter & jam OR cocoa powder to make a pudding
Raisins
Pink Lady Apples (very sweet)
Low calorie frozen fruit ice lollies
Grapes
Organic fruit lollipops from health food stores
Chocolate soy milk/ chocolate protein powder

Skinny cow has some great stuff! Or you can mix a box of brownie mix with a can of pumpkin puree, cook.... let it cool. Super yummy, not sure of exact stuff, but if you google it, it'll come up with the recipe! Drizzle melted peanut butter on it, and I promise it will not taste like a diet dessert at all! Hope that helps.

Skinny Cow DOES have some great stuff! I like their little chocolate clusters with the rice crispies, tastes like a 100 grand!

I definitely feel you, my sweet tooth is my biggest problem...by far! I just CRAVE chocolate! I've been very proud of myself for being able to control myself with sweets, but at the same time, I wish I didn't like them at all because I'd probably lose weight twice as fast! Let me also just tell you, I go over my sugar every single day. I usually go over with breakfast alone because a lot of times I'll eat greek vanilla yogurt with granola. I'm supposed to be having 26 grams or less of sugar, but I just cannot do it! My weakness has always been chocolate! One of the things I've found VERY satisfying is Weight Watchers Triple Divine Chocolate bar. That thing is SO rich and completely satisfies me for the whole day, with only 100 calories I think...maybe 110.

I don't know if you're trying to not eat sweets at all or if you're looking for healthier alternatives, but my fiance always tells me I have to allow myself stuff like that or I'm going to crack and eat a lot of it. If you're looking for substitutions I can't help there because to me, eating an apple is good, but I still know it's fruit, and I still want something sweet. Here are some things I eat for sweetness:

King Size Special Dark Hershey bar, divided into 4 sections. Eat one section and it's 80 calories. Dark chocolate has really been my friend because it's better for you, and also it's rich so I'm left very satisfied.

Dark Chocolate Plum Sweets=chocolate covered prunes, but the prunes are good for you, and to me, they taste like chocolate covered raisins. The biggest thing is just making sure to measure and not go overboard.

Another thing I eat when I"m wanting something sweet is cereal.

I like Snack Pack Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding...only 70 calories!

I like Snack Pack Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding...only 70 calories!

I have the Jello ones and they're only 60 calories... use it as a dip for a serving of mini pretzel twists and it's an amazing indulgence that rivals regular chocolate covered pretzels! Only 160 calories (give or take)

Whatever I like (as long as its within my calories)

Mini Kinder Bars - AUS (69kcal)
Mini Choc Buttons - UK (99kcal)
Splice Fruit Ice Lolly - AUS (70kcal)
Mini ice cream stick ie Magnum (110kcal - 190kcal)
Light Philly & Sugar on crackers (like a mini cheesecake)
Fruit

I'm not on this for a crash diet so IMO a little bit of what you fancy isn't a problem as long as you know when to stop. x

Jolly Time 100 calorie Healthy Pop Kettle Corn!!! I't's sweet and salty and ohhhhhhhhh so yummy!!:blushing:

My sweet tooth is almost entirely to blame for me being overweight. I love sweets and unfortunately when I start eating them I can't stop. It sets up major binge eating for me. Here's some options:

1. Cut them out entirely...after about 2 weeks you won't crave them anymore (if you can get through 2 weeks that is)
2. Major portion control (Personally, for some reason it doesn't really work for me, but it seems to for most people). Eat half a candy bar, or measure out your ice cream, buy snack sized sweets (100 calorie packs, etc) and only eat one.
3. Go with low-cal, sugar free, or low-fat options: Skinny Cow and Weight Watchers have a lot of options both frozen or not, jello with cool whip, frozen yogurt with no toppings, cupcakes (one 24 packet of any cake mix with one can of diet soda, or 12 pack with a half can of diet soda. This cuts out all the calories from egg, sugar, butter, milk, etc and they are still yummy. Just add 5 minutes cooking time).
4. Fruit. I think the natural sugar from the fruit really helps with the cravings. You can always add some cool whip.

Sugar free brownies (the Pilsbury fudge ones are actually really good).

And Hershey Kiss Air Delights...

I make sure my handbag has always got plenty of tic-tacs or other small mints with low calories! best way to curb those pesky cravings!!

Dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, such as Green and Black xx

I have this problem too, a few things that work for me are

low calorie chocolate mouse pots
chocolate rice cakes (add chocolate philly and its amazing and still less than 150cals!)
banana & PB (great in a home-made milkshake for breakfast)
small chocolate digestive biscuits
99cal milky-way

I know a lot of people have dark chocolate (doesnt work for me cos I like my chocolate the darker the better!!)

TOTM week is when i always crave sugary things. Thats the week i allow myself to drink diet coke, seems to hit the spot for me

If you have a sweet tooth, but are otherwise good about your diet, indulge! BUT!!!!!!!! Only 1 or 2 bites, as that is all it takes to quell a craving. If you don't think you can stop, only get a 1 or 2 bite serving and try it. A few extra calories from a bite or two (ONLY 1 or 2, don't do 1 or 2 ten times a day) will not kill your diet. Sometimes you have to indulge to keep yourself in line (rationale: if you've only experienced good things, you don't know they're good, they're normal)

The thing to remember through all of this, is if you want to lose the weight, keep it off, and feel great, you have to make a lifestyle change. Being healthy isn't a 'phase' its a life.
