Need help with my sweet tooth

I just eat sweet fruits like strawberrys, oranges , plums, grapes or kiwis are great too.

I use to have a sweet tooth. It took a while of not eating it but the cravings went away. And now if I eat sugar it leaves me tired and with a terrible headache. It's not worth it for me.

^^ Exactly!! I had to do the same thing, give it up completely! Otherwise I would binge. Now when I do eat something it's overly sweet and I get so bloated with a horrible stomach ache. Try giving up the sweets, the first three weeks are the hardest, then it's smooth sailing! I use All-Natural fruit strips as my "sweet" after meals. The ones I eat are 45 calories

Hi, sugar free jelly works somethimes for me or a spoonful of peanut butter (crunchy)
both taste really sweet and can take your mind off chocolate. :-)

Failing that have you tried a chocolate protein bar?? these give the choc taste and can be used to replace meals?? PHD Diet whey chocolate cookie or Atkins Chocolate decadence.

I have heard that a high intake of carbs produce a blood sugar swing in the body, hence why you then crave more sweet foods.
Perhaps spread a carb 'hit' with some proteins to lessen the effect

Hope this helps

no sugar added fudgesicles. seriously- they are 45 calories each and I feel like I've just eaten a chocolate bar.

Also this mint ice cream gum that tastes just like mint chip. It sounds gross but its soooo good

So I have a bad sweet tooth as well, but I have found some great alternatives to help with my cravings for sugar and chocolate.

I love anything from Skinny Cow frozen desserts. Everything is 150 calories or lower and is good-sized to make you feel like you have had a full dessert. They are also delicious.

I find that sugar-free pudding, especially chocolate works well for me. It comes in at 90 calories.

I buy dark chocolate Hershey Kisses (20 cal/Kiss) or Dove dark chocolate pieces (42 cal/piece) and I only let myself eat a couple. This usually helps with my chocolate cravings. A couple of Toostie Rolls are a good option too, but only a couple.

Dreyer's makes a slow-churned ice cream. Vanilla is only 100 calories for 1/2 cup and slow-churned means low-fat. I add 1/2 Tbsp of chocolate syrup to the top which is 25 calories.

Dreyer's also makes a fat-free frozen yogurt. A half cup of the Vanilla is only 90 calories.

Sometimes, 1/2 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter on a reduced fat Graham cracker sheet is a good dessert, if you are not dying for chocolate. If you have a serving of the Graham crackers (2 full sheets) and 1 tbsp of peanut butter, the total calories is 235, but you are getting some protein and good fat. It is also filling.

If all else fails, chew some sugar-free gum. Extra lasts a long time. Or drink some water.

So, as you can see I do a lot to appease my sweet tooth. I hope this stuff works for you. ; )

I have lost 30lbs and can tell my body fat is still diminishing at a nice rate.

Proetin shakes are a great subsitute! You can find them in almost every flavor. They pleny of chocolate ones you can mix with milk and ice in a blender makes it almost ice cream shake like. Super yummy! Also another alternative Ovaltene or a chocolate substitute to add to your milk. chocolate milk is a great recovery drink for after workouts. Gives you that sweet your looking for and helps your muscles get strong!

For my sweet tooth:
☼ Green Smoothies (I feel like I'm cheating)
☼ Green Apples
☼ Raisins
☼ Fat Free/ Sugar Free Fudgesicle OMG Sugar Free is only 40 calories or so!!

Trader Joes has 100 calorie chocolate bars that are a life saver. I tend to eat about 1 a day in order to deal with my cravings. They taste 100% like normal chocolate they have milk and dark varieties. They are a life saver.

Are you able to get Stevia extract in England? I have started using the flavored drops in my water as well as to sweeten up my coffee, to replace the flavored creamer I used to use. It is very sweet and does satisfy the sweet tooth a bit, the only downfall is you don't get the pleasure of chewing.
