Sweet tooth

[GB in CA 93]

I have always had a terrible sweet tooth. Unfortunately that has not changed. What do you do to satisfy or curb your sweet tooth?

sugar free fat free pudding is my go to. It kills the urge to eat anything else sweet. I make it with Protein Powder added so it's a great snack. I made chocolate butterscotch cups all measured out at 1/2 cup . Only 115 calories 10 Protein.

SF Fudgesicles - love 'em!

I think you'll have an advantage with a sweet tooth. So many of the Protein Drinks are sooooo sweet. You can also add vanilla or caramel Protein drinks to tea or coffee for a lovely, sweet latte.

Those of us who don't have so much of a sweet tooth tend to gag on the very sweet supplements.

Good luck!

WonderSlim chocolate Caramel Protein Shake / pudding - Bariatric Pal Cheesecake Protein shake / pudding

The wonderslim has become a good friend of mine. I love it for that sweetness especially when I'm craving chocolate, which isn't that often anymore.

And it must be engraved into my brain, but I'm a sucker for cheesecake anything - so when I found the pudding I was in 7th heaven (well at least my head was)... my belly doesn't care so much anymore.

I tend to crave more salty than sweet as of late... I keep a jar of mixed nuts everywhere...

I found the Cheesecake grainy, but I ❤ the Orange Creamsicle one. Maybe Cheesecake would have better if I had blended instead of shook. Might add some frozen blueberries,i have a 5 lb bag taking up a corner of my freezer.🍶

fruit, Beans and whole grains.

We're primates, not big cats. Eating heavy Protein and no carbs isn't just unhealthy for us, it's unnatural for us.

You have a sweet tooth because you're a great ape.

And as much self-denial as you want to inflict upon yourself, eventually your physiology will scream for carbs....because that's what your ape body was built to eat.

The trick is picking the right carbs that will satisfy you and keep your diet on track.

Fruit is high sugar, but it comes with Fiber and important phytonutrients you need. Whole grains, beans, lentils, brown rice... are an awesome source of plant protein that also give you a nice slow glycemic carb burn. They are "good" carbs that help keep your sugar cravings in check. They also grow spectacular colonies of gut microbiota found in the digestive systems of thinner people:)

Find alternatives that fit your diet and aren't super horrible for you. Like fruits for instance. I'm all about the "swaps" what item can you substituent for that craving that will satisfy the craving yet fall into your diet. This way you don't feel like you are missing out on anything because those cravings are all taken care of.
