I need HELP!!!
I am trying to eat "better" now that I have my own apartment and am doing everything for myself. Thats a great reason to not settle for pizza and junky junk food. I am really excited about things like individually packaged chicken breasts and salmon filets. I try and keep okay snacks around (pretzels instead of chips, for example) and thats not so bad either. But now, I have a problem.
What do you eat to get you through the sweets cravings?!
I am trying really hard to not bring a lot of cookies, ice cream, chocolate, whatever into the apartment. But that doesn't work so well, because then eventually the craving gets so strong I go out and completely sweets-binge.
I was at the grocery store earlier and I was thinking maybe things like Special K bars, or that chocolate cereal they have. Any other suggestions? Any tips or tricks? Maybe strawberries or cantaloupe? I have no idea, and I really don't need another night of massive attack of java chip frappachino ice cream, no matter how good it was at the time.
Sugar free Jello pudding and Edy's sugar free fruit popsicles!
ReplyDeleteYou are the same as me! I have sweets cravings all the time. I get the Propel drink packets and make myself some Propel when I get a craving, and I also try to munch on some yogurt and granola. Also, buy Dannon's Strawberry Yogurt Drinks (they're near Activa in my Kroger). I blogged about them before and they're ahhh-mazing!
ReplyDeleteP.S. A healthy snack is to buy a whole-wheat tortilla, add peanut butter, sprinkle granola, honey, and a dash of cinnamon. Also, you can add sliced bananas. YUM!
ReplyDeletei have the worst sweet tooth probably ever and the worst self control probably ever. bad combo. so i feel your pain.
ReplyDeletevitamuffin vitatop are super delicious, filling, and 100 calories (i get the deep chocolate) and no pudge brownies can be made in single servings- great with cut up strawberries on top!
