Sweet Tooth Blues

  • Hello,

    I have been struggling terribly with a sweet tooth. Seems like every day I need or want something sweet. I no longer will do the sugar free stuff because that is just as bad as eating the real thing. Was wondering what I could do to help curb it or indulge it with something low cal, good for me, and no crap ingredients. I was thinking of the little Ande's mints or a York Peppermint Patty. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!
  • I'm not sure what plan you're on, but how about some fruit? Cherries, grapes and watermelon are all wonderfully sweet.

    Another thought would be no sugar added ice cream. There's a really good NSA fudge bar that's about 40 calories that might help.
  • I have started making healthy oatmeal cookies (oatmeal, whole wheat flour, applesauce, an egg, maybe honey (or splenda), and whatever else you like...nuts, dried cranberries, etc). Mix and refridgerate for a while before baking-very easy and fast.
  • Also not sure what plan you’re on, but I’m calorie counting and allow myself a little something sweet every single day. Sometimes it’s sugar free pudding or jell-o or a popsicle, but most of the time, it’s actual candy and junk! I just recently found some Hershey’s toffee treasures and I let myself have two a day. I factor it in to my calorie count and it keeps me on track and gives me something to look forward to. Moderation is the key!
