Sweet Tooth

[Primitive]

Ok.  I am pushing myself with my workouts, and trying to eat better.  I have a HORRIBLE sweet tooth.  Does anyone have any tricks or something to help me out.  Found a couple atkins bars and sugar free cookies that are ok.  Just wondering if there were any other "CRAVERS" on here that might have some pointers.  I do so good for about a week, then I cave, then I have to start all over again.  Keeping up the fitness is just fine its just the diet that I have problems with.

I like fruit to cover my cravings.  It has done the trick so far.  Strawberries, blueberries and bananas.  I like them plain or blend them with some ice for a smoothie. Its like candy for me, and fairly healthy.

I try to eat fruits and vegetables as well. I love my sweets, but I try to eat them in moderations.

i find moderation is the key, as with many things other than elk hunting.........if u deprive yourself too long, as noted you will tend to cave anyway....set a max amount amount and go4it ;D

Try sugar free popsicles or sugar free fudgsicles (sp?)

You can do a lot for that by eating good food when you are hungry.Beacuse if you wait to long your blood sugar drops.This makes you want something sweet.A lot of guys will eat 5 or 6 lil meals a day.This will keep the hunger pains away.Also if you are dieting and are always hungry.Your diet isnt no good and you wont stay with it.

I make a concoction of protein powder, peanut butter, honey, and choc chips that are rolled up and chilled in the fridge. Cures the sweet tooth and makes a great snack that doesn't set you back on your goals.
