Sweet

That is such a true statement. I have sugar cravings all the time, since I started drinking diet pop. I have cut back, but that craving is still there. I crave twinkies all the time, not sure why.

OMG!!! Have you not tried the Atkins cheesecake recipe? It is to die for....even my "normal" family eaters love it. I also made a sugar free strawberry jam with splenda to put on it and I was in heaven.

Protein powder mixed in unsweetened almond milk, with a teaspoon of peanut butter...solves the craving.. if you do not want to use peanut butter.. then use flavored protein powder... it works well

I agree with SouthBeach.....I LOVE BodyFortress Protein Powder...Chocolate Peanut Butter Whey and i mix it with Unsweetened almond milk...YUMMY~

I noticed that when im craving something that is unhealthy i reach for a health magazine (coule of bucks for new ones they dont work once ive read them 5-6 times!)i tend to get my mind back on track if i read about a healthy meal and it looks good then im like hey that looks good and no bad stuff CA CHING!
And theres usually some really good tips on how to lose weight as well!

Sugar free jelly!!!!!

red raspberries!

I am on atkins and I either have sugar free jello and whipped topping made the heavy whipping cream or I make chocolaye mousse it is really good!

Marcia,
Do you have a recipe for the chocolate mousse ?

make a mixed fruit granita or a fruit ice pop. It'll feel like your cheating without feeling guilty. If you need to add a touch of agave to sweeten it up a bit. Good Luck!

You could make a sweet flax meal bread, or have some fruit.

melon low in calories A buttermilk smoothie either with fruit no sweetner or herb or herb and veggie with bit of splends. A cup of hot tea or an herbal iced tea -- I'm addicted to apple mint tea from the fresh mint in my yard.

i eat "optiwell" stuff

Chocolate sugarfree puddin with peanut butter mixed in right before it gets cold...1 package of puddin and 1/2 cup peanutbutter!! Yummy!! Less that 80 cals.a 1/2 cup...

Gum ^___^; or a slice of an apple.

You can eat sweets in the morning because our metabolism is most active in the morning. This means that you can burn off the calories throughout the day.

Sugar-free popsicles. There's also a South Beach recipe you may be able to do with Atkins. You get some low/non-fat ricotta cheese, and mix it with something artificially sweetened, such as dry sugar free Jello mix. You can also use Stevia or Truvia.

Breyer's low carb ice-cream bars...

I love Fresca, especially the cherry flavour. I try not to drink it every day because of the aspartame, but once in a while as a treat it is fantastic.

Atkins chesecake- 30g soft cheese eg Philaldephia, 30g double cream or creme fraiche, 1 teaspoon splenda and 1 drop vanilla... YUM!!!
