Need help with my sweet tooth

Skinny cow stuff is GREAT and does not taste 'diet '. Also, I bought a bag of ghiradeli (idk if spelling is correct) dark chocolate squares and when I'm craving sweets -pretty much all the time - I eat 1 square S l o w l y . That helps me.
Good luck

Stevia! It comes in powder or liquid & you can get in flavors.... like chocolate or vanilla. My kids love the vanilla in their milk. 0 calories totally sweet. Someone will surely say they tried it the powder packets & it was bitter. It depends on what they mix it with. I use Wholesome sweeteners Organic Stevia packets in my coffee but for everything else I use the liquid; yogurt, smoothies, avocado chocolate pudding, homemade popsicles.
Also, Sunbutter! So flippin' good. 2TBS 200 cal. 7 protein 7 carbs. YUM
Congrats on the loss.

I am a SWEET FREAK!!! LOL I keep eating them though. It probably isn't the healthiest advice, but I'm stuck on skinny cow stuff. They have candy bars, ice cream bars and other yummies (avoid the ice cream cup in cookies n' cream - not good!) and they won't break your calorie bank.

Also for a quick fix, I'll eat those chocolate wedges from trader joes. YUM!

Two things that help me with sweet cravings (one is healthy but not really low-cal)

1) 1/2 Cup Fage greek yoghurt (it is less 'tangy'), a big splash of sugar free ameretto syrup, mix well and top with fresh berries

2) Cocoa - date balls. Rehydrate dried dates, and in heaps of natural cocoa powder, mash into a smooth paste, add in fiber cereal. Roll into 1 inch balls and roll in unsweetened dried coconut. The fat is low, the sugar is atleast unprocessed, but the cals are not 'low'.

Ghiradeli (sp?) really dark chocolate squares are the cat's meow!

OK here is my method: I shared this with a few people and it's worked for them, so I would highly recommend it!

The more sugar we eat, the more we want. Your taste buds get used to it - de-sensitized. I used to have a sweet tooth bigger than Texas. I mean I could sit and eat half a jar of frosting by the spoonful, without blinking. I could eat spoonfuls of straight sugar. I would crave sweet things with a desire that was impossible to ignore. But with a diabetic mother (Type II), being severely obese, and being Native American (high risk), I knew I had to get off the habit. This was about five years ago...and I tested something out.

I decided to go for 7 days without any sugar. No honey in my tea, no baked goods, no candies, nothing that had added sugar in it, NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER, and not too much fruit. It was pretty difficult. I would get antsy and come as close as having a cookie ON MY LIPS, before I would throw it away and walk out of the house in desperation to stick to my goal. I lived in a house that always had unhealthy food around - making it even more difficult. I kept a small bag of raisins around, of which I would allow myself 3-4 to calm my cravings. Then by about the 4th or 5th day, the cravings had subsided. By the 7th day, I decided to go on 3 more days, and went 10 days without any sugar. And it worked. My cravings were so dull, and sugar tasted so much sweeter for months and months afterwards. That's when I started losing weight again.

After that, sugar tasted sweeter to me. I notice more the effect it has on my mood and energy levels, and too much makes me uncomfortable. When people say "ooooh this is too sweet" I ACTUALLY agree with them, instead of pretending to agree with them to not sound like a fatty. I admit, my sweet tooth has reared it's ugly head a few times in the last 5 years. Like around my birthday, or the holidays, when I let myself go or I am surrounded by sweets. Then, I'll just do the process again: 7 days without sugars. And voila!

Please try it!
