Fruits, yogurt and blueberries, nuts, nut butter, chia seed pudding, sugar free desserts, almond milk and nomu hot chocolate  

olives,pickles, biltong,cheeses,fruit,nuts and dark lindt chocolate(sea salt)...😋 

-Sugar free jelly (I make little ones in silicone cupcake moulds). -Nomu Skinny Hot Chocolate. - "Ice Cream" Whey protein powder with lots of crushed ice, blend until smooth. Sometimes I add a frozen banana for extra creaminess & sweetness. - Cottage cheese or yogurt mixed with sweetener topped with berries. - Half whey powder mixed with half peanut butter and a splash of water to make a sweet spread for rice cake. - 1-2 Blocks Lindt dark chocolate (mint is my fav) but only if you can stick to only 2 blocks max. 

- Half a low carb, no sugar, protein bar. - Flavoured Herbal Tea (add mo calorie sweetener if needed) Make sure you drink enough water, eat enough protein & fiber. This will reduce sugar cravings. Going lower carb also reduces cravings & appetite. 

Simply Delish jelly, Jel Dessert or pudding... are my go to when I crave something sweet.  

Chocolate bar. If it fits your calories, it's fine! 

90% dark chocolate, banana, other fruits, nuts, a peanut butter + cacao smoothie, etc. 

My go to when I crave sweets is grapes or apple slices dipped in peanut butter😋 

Handful nuts downed with warm lemon water for me always does the trick 

Dark chocolate or apply dipped in peanut butter 

A teaspoon of sugar eaten plain 

Dates or raisins. A teaspoon of coconut oil also works 

Apple or strawberries (max 6) anything else will make you gain. Max 2 fruits per day 

Thanks guys got some great tips , thanks a million, here is to a good weigh in tomorrow  

Peanut butter 

Frozen blueberries 

One Nestle Bar One is 255 Calories. If you chop an apple into four pieces, and dip it in peanut butter, a conservative estimate of the amount of peanut butter is say, 10 grams. 10 grams of peanut butter is about 60 calories; so the peanut butter (even with only 10 grams per piece) is about 240 calories. Plus the apple (about 60 calories) is 300 calories. To go back to the Bar One; 255 vs ~300 Calories. Calories in, calories out. Here you might as well eat the Bar One. Careful with Peanut Butter :-)  

don't know of you doing but do protein items like eggs, cottage cheese, apple and peanut butter, some peanuts or almonds not to many, I am doing herbal life and concentrate on more protein and has taken away the craving for chocolates and sweets, have had one cheat chocolate and I regret that. 

Have you tried frozen grapes? 

tic tacs fruit adventure or coco cola...zero calories, zero carbs, zero anything 🤣 I keep wondering what they are made off but too scared to research properly 😅
