Cream cheese. For some reason, one ounce of smooth, creamy slightly-salty loveliness melting on my tongue helps curbs cravings for both sweets and savories.
When I crave chips and dip, I use pork rinds and a low carb dip.
When I crave something sweet, I make a low carb dessert or just whip some cream with S/F vanilla syrup.
Chocolate is the one thing I usually don't try to find a substitute for, I would rather have a single square of the quality kind than to eat something waxy and cheap. I recently discovered that Dove makes a wonderful S/F chocolate that is individually wrapped. Worked for me and tasted very good. At least I know I have an option.
For the most part, though, I just don't have the cravings anymore, haven't in nearly a year. About the only craving that I do not indulge in, but just won't seem to go away is super frosted cupcakes. Sigh. They make me sick when I have eaten them, what the lure is, I just don't know. lol
I love sweets. But I want to see if I can go 30 days without any. So now its slim fast shakes for the 'rich' taste. and home made dried fruit that has been working for me. however my mom does jello and puddings that are sugar free.
My go-to's are greek yogurt mixed with low sugar jam, Dr.McDougall's miso soup for a quick meal, arnold thins paired with various items, jello mousse temptations, etc...
I have two. Ginger tea, for 70, calories helps break the need to feed. It is both a hot drink that needs to be sipped, and it has a strong ginger flavor that can break the sweet/salty/whatevery feeling I'm having.
For when I really need to put something in my mouth, I have a Vitatop. One of the chocolate flavors for a sweet tooth or one of the others for anything else.
Frozen black sweet cherries. You can have a big bowl full for around 100 calories. And it takes awhile to eat them so they're very satisfying, and by the time you get done you're full.
