@@DMH82 Be sure that you are limiting carbs in your diet (carbs can cause further cravings). Find something to distract you from the cravings (head hunger) - color, read, walk, paint your nails, etc. You can also try eating a sugar free popsicle or fudgsicle but be careful that they aren't triggers for wanting more sweets. Congrats on your loss so far - that's great!!!

Protein shakes. Try Syntrax Nectars, there are lots of flavors and they are liquid like kool-aid.

You don't have a lot of room for other stuff. When you are further out, Protein Bars are a possibility.

Check out this blog. She has tons of great recipes for sweets alternatives.

I've made several of her coffee cup "cakes".

Protein shake recipes if you make them like milkshakes by adding ice it changes them. I made an orange-sicle (Water, vanilla Protein powder, a couple tablespoons of diet orange soda (Flat) & frozen mandarin oranges), a PB&J (water, frozen strawberries, vanilla Protein Powder, Peanut Butter powder) and an Apple Pie (unsweetened apple juice, butter buds, cinnamon, vanilla Protein powder.) Also they have Atkins Snacks that are low carb; I use these as my cheat foods when I get desperate for something "bad" for me.
