Sweet-tooth!

Nix · 20 Apr 2011 at 01:49

If you're anything like me, whenever you have nothing available or are trying to be healthy you'll get struck down with a case of sweet-tooth.

What do you normally have to make it go away?

"Something sweet."

Well done. A cookie for you.

Seriously though, what's a good 'fix' when you're trying to be healthy and cut out refined sugar, etc.?

Peanut butter or make something with sweetener instead of sugar, cheesecake with an almond meal base is a good one.

Nix · 20 Apr 2011 at 01:55

I can't stand artificial sweetener. I can even taste it in things like Fanta (on the rare occassion that I do drink fizzy drinks).

You could go the other way and try savoury?

loltim · 20 Apr 2011 at 02:16

dried fruit? raisins etc?

Look at what you're trying to obtain by being healthy... remind yourself why you're doing it. I get a kick out of being disciplined with my diet, don't ever give in. Set yourself a date in which you can have a 'cheat' meal and eat clean until that point.

Find something to do instead, eat fruit or nuts, or fap.

A cup of coffee usually does the job for me

Fruit?

Lightnix · 20 Apr 2011 at 02:28

We have nothing even remotely sweet (even fruit or anything like that) in our house at the moment and I have no money with which to buy any with. I feel like murdering something.

Well I tell a lie, we have some honey. And no bread or anything. I feel like going all winnie-the-pooh on this ****.

Cup of earl grey.

dunker · 20 Apr 2011 at 02:43

This or some malt loaf and butter usually works for me.

Eat protein.

Nix · 20 Apr 2011 at 02:53

Ah yes, maltloaf. That does work, however I got a little sick of it recently due to gorging myself silly on it.

Have you tried the banana version? Seriously, I nearly did... right in my pants. Yum.

Chocolate-coated chicken?

A banana version you say...

Why have I not seen this before, this looks amazing. I need some now!

The original malt loaf is actually pretty nice with peanut butter on it, believe it or not... It's worth trying once just to see how it compared to just butter.

EDIT: I also sometimes have peanut butter on cream crackers if I'm after some sort of snack, not exactly healthy, but no sugar at least.

dunker · 20 Apr 2011 at 03:16

^it's nice with butter on.

those mcvittees elevenses cakes are nice.
teaspoon of strawberry jam works too.

Nix · 20 Apr 2011 at 03:18

Dammit. I want some 'nana maltloaf now!

discobiscuits · 20 Apr 2011 at 07:47

Well I usually have some pepsi max. But you could try peanut butter on toast or dried banana works too

Makhaira · 20 Apr 2011 at 07:59

I actually found "training" myself to prefer different sweet foods worked. So I started having fruit and fibre for breakfast, and now I find the raisins and fruit in it very sweet, and often have that if I fancy a sweet snack.

Random, but it works.
