What are your quick sweet craving secrets?

[sas2sap]

I'm interested to know what everyone else does to conquer what I call "panic craving attacks". I mainly struggle right after eating my main meal as my past history was to eat some type of dessert item(s) after every meal. I've found that a cup of diet rootbeer is a very good sweet treat that curbs my craving and I keep some on hand for my panic attacks. Anyone else have a quick fix to share?

hey, ever put any heavy whipping cream in that diet rootbeer? JUST LIKE A ROOTBEER FLOAT! OMG, SO FRIGGIN' GOOD!

BUT
the idea is to wean yourself from the sweet cravings. It'd be in your best interest to rid yourself of that need rather than feed it with a substitute.

I really only have sweet cravings once a month. Usually, I ignore them till they go away. However, I do have a collection of full fat cocoa powders of various kinds, and I have been known to make myself a hot cocoa with 1T cocoa, a few drops of Stevia, 2 oz light cream, and hot water to top of mug

2 oz cream cheese splenda and a tbl spoon of sour cream. Mix together and it is delish!

I make a flax mufin, add an extra drop of splenda and some cocoa powder and pretend it's chocolate cake.

hmmm I have never done this with the Sour Cream...will have to try it.. I usually take an ounce of cream cheese and nuke it for 20 seconds and add a packet of Splenda too it...

I have the same problem. What usually works with me is jello with whipped cream on top...hey 0 carbs.

whipped cream does have carbs
and sf often has aspartame from what i hear, so it can easily stall u or slow u down.

i usually go for like 50g of mascarpone, low in carbs, high in fat and add a little bit of cocoa powder and sweetener to it...tastes almost like really creamy chocolate ice cream.
best thing is, i dont need to eat much to feel satisfied as the stuff is so fat

Pickled Onions for me! I have no idea why but it kills any chocolate cravings
