[QUOTE="jopar, post: 328031, member: 11712"] I would look into making some of you own cakes, deserts and even ice-creams... As this way you can substitute different ingredients to lesson the impact, such as sweetener instead of sugar, cakes swapping some of the flour for Ground Almonds I've even made a meringues with sweetener, filled with double cream, and just enough dribble of dark chocolate to give them a hit.. Biggest problem about cravings, is they tend to happen and be stronger purely because you are denying yourself them, a case of the more you can't have the more you want! Some tricks that might be helpful.., If you really need to have the fix, eat after a meal the advantage to this is, you are more likely to be content with a smaller portion, and because it's digesting with a meal it often's lessen the impact on the blood glucose.. A lot of low carbers, will have a small square of very good quality dark chocolate after their evening meal, because they know they will get their fix/treat of the day it seems to curb cravings at other times of the day... Easier to fend off a craving when you know you will get it later on, than never! [/QUOTE]
