Cravings for Sweets

[mstng86]

What do you guys do to get past them? For the last couple of weeks I have been craving sweets, and I never used to before. I have been eating almonds when I get the cravings but it seems to be getting worse.

Any suggestions?

You have too much estrogen. Take some test. Do you cry during sad movies too?

lulz, no, only when I run out of bon-bons.

Really, though, they have some pretty sweet protien bars out there these days. That should do the trick.

I fulfill my cravings with fruit on occasion or a protein shake(most of the time).

I have never had a protein bar before. What are some brands to look for?

Don't tempt me.

I am afraid of eating too much fruit. I try to limit myself to a fruit a day. I need to start looking at protein shakes too though.

My goal is to lose another 35lbs. I have already lost 30, but I am hitting a plateau.

I too suffer from sugar cravings, big time. It has always been an issue with me, I just love sweets. I wouldn't worry too much about eating fruits, especially if it helps your cravings. Eating a little more fruit is much better than binging on something else.

Gum

I share a desk with a heifer and she has it stocked with mike and ikes and hot tomallies and chocolate ,you name it. Its hard not to snack on that shit.

When i run out of gum i notice i eat that shit like a horse with a feed bag on.

Ive also been bringing jerky set amounts as snacks.

You know....my problem is quite the opposite. I love the fucking salty foods!! And that is not good for me since I have high blood pressure. Even though I've lost so much weight I still have it. It's genetic in my case. Anyways, I can probably go without sweets, but when it comes to salty stuff I sometimes can't refuse. :-(
