Sweet Cravings

could you try eating fruit instead? Its yummy and sweet.

Half my problem is that I'm kinda fussy when it comes to food.

I'm not really a fruit person at all, apples and that is it and they have to be crisp or I won't eat it lol

I might try the nut thing but maybe a small amount of peanuts instead since I like them

Just what I was thinking. Esp if it is chocolate that you are wanting.

I'm terrible when it comes to portion control when it comes to chocolate or bikkies or anything like that. No self control lmao

I shouldn't have a magnesium deficiency since I've been taking a magnesium supplement to help me sleep for weeks now. I've always been like this over chocolate even as a kid.

I was going to say fruit as well, but seeings as you are a fussy tart , maybe not. What about dried fruit, or muslei bars???

mmm I have a real sweet tooth especially when I'm tired (I'm eating apple crumble right now lol). I heard that when the body craves sweet stuff, you need calcium - e.g. a glass of milk. Might be worth a try? Sometimes I also find that I crave treat food when I'm thirsty.

Chromium supplements were my god send to stop replacement of cigs with lollies... (god did that make sense?)

Anyways, lack of chromium makes you crave stuff... chromium stops cravings... a search for chromium sugar cravings will show you a world of info on it

I do eat eggs. I have one egg on toast for breakfast every morning.

The problem with milk and cheese is that I'm trying to loose weight and those two things just add weight.

I might just try the nuts thing (as they are protein) and if that fails muslei bars

No matter how I eat if I cut out cheese and milk I loose weight. That's the way its always worked for me so I'd rather avoid those things.

I want to get healthy as I loose weight. After Daniel I lost almost 30kg by exercise and adjusting my diet to something that worked for me so I'll do it again.

Because I'm fussy and a vego I do what I like and what works lol. Finding protein in my diet is difficult so I end up having protein shakes which also helps as I exercise to build muscle. I don't do lentils or tofu or beans or any of the other general protein sources that most vegos use so I'm limited.

I have a mean sweet tooth, I never used to but since I got preg with the gremlins I've been shocking. I just can't get on top of it, so maybe I'll try some of these suggestions. In the summer I substituted chocolate etc. for yummy WW icecream which are low sugar/fat, but when it's cold it is so easy to reach for comfort foods!
