Sweet Cravings



Since I LOOOOOOVE sweets so much, it is extremely difficult for me to cut them out of my wedding diet. I have tried substituting water for sweets, or buying healthier options (which are not as good) such as flourless brownies or having a piece of dark chocolate, etc.

It is a good thing that I have 6 months to go, but obviously I would like to start seeing results by January/February of next year. I also started buying Del Monte fruit cups to substitute for that cookie or Ben and Jerry’s I may be craving at the moment. Believe it or not, it actually has started to work! I always pour out the liquid from the juice cup and just eat the fruit because I don’t want that extra added sugar. They are only 100 cals, but you have to be sure that you are not eating these every day because the sugar content is a bit high. I guess the sugar content is lower if you pour out the liquid, but not by much. This is also one less thing I want to be hooked on to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Eating fruits later in the day/night that are high in sugar, are definitely not recommended if you are trying to lose weight.

Another way I try to curb my sweet cravings is to make sure I have a filling dinner that will leave me with absolutely NO ROOM for dessert. I know over the next couple of weeks when I start getting super super serious, it will be a no-brainer, but for right now it is KILLING ME!!!

For the most part, I am pretty good with not over-indulging when I do eat dessert.


How are some ways you control your cravings when you are on a diet?
