After I work out I find myself craving sweets in a BIG way!! Any way to prevent/stop/satisfy this?

    My trick for satisfying my sweet tooth is frozen grapes! Also pineapple...it's worked for me and I haven't had sweets for over 3 months!

    I use chocolate whey protien powder with skim milk after a workout. I'm getting all the protien I need and enjoying the sweet I want. It tastes like chocolate milk to me.

    I drink a small glass of chocolate milk post-workout (the kind w/out HFCS). Satisfies the sweet tooth, and the protein makes me feel fabulous.

    I always have Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches or chocolate dipped frozen bananas in the freezer for serious sweet cravings.
