    I used to have a huge sweet tooth also. Chocolate especially. I started brushing my teeth right after dinner and it really curbed my cravings. It took a couple weeks but now I barely crave sweets at all anymore.

    I've found that drinking tons of water helps curb my cravings in general. If you must have something sweet, have it on a full stomach, something small, and savor it *slowly*. :)

    You'll get used to it after a while, but I was the same and *had to factor in a square or 2 of dark 70% chocolate. It's like 80 calories a square, but if you have to have the sweet stuff...

    This.
    Ghiradelli makes some 60% chocolate chips, 16 (theyre larger than normal chips) for 80 calories. 8 after lunch, 8 after dinner

    Edit to add: separate them and then put away the bag. On a high shelf you can't reach without a stepstool.

    I was just going to write this... The Ghiradelli chips are the exact same as the squares, only you get double the amount for your money! :) And for some reason a few chips seems more satisfying then one square.

    I have to agree with this. Also I like to get the jello 60 calorie pudding and put a little whipped cream on it...kind of like satin pie very yummy!
    I think it's one of those "what's more important to you" things. You can either leave room in your diary for sweets or you can fight the craving.

    Personally, I leave room when I can to enjoy a treat at the end of the day.
