Need sweet-treat ideas!
| Tue, 09-02-2008 - 4:14pm |
My boyfriend has been eating the SBD way of eating only because I do and I make the food around here :) He's actually been surprised to see he's lost weight "without even trying". Even his coworkers and other people have commented on it. I'm really happy to help him like this. The only issue is that he blows it with his sweet cravings. For example, last night we were at whole foods and he bought this white chocolate. At first he said he wanted to get some chocolate. I just kinda ignored him (his prerogative) but he wouldn't forget about it.. He ended up eating half this huge bar on the way home. He usually does these massive splurges that sort of derail him sugar-wise. He also goes overboard eating nuts too. He thought it was so funny that I hid the nuts from him in the kitchen. LOL. He wants me to help him, by the way. :) Anyway, does anyone have ideas to help my SO with his sweet cravings? What can he "splurge on" but will still be sbd friendly? He's trying to control how much he eats, but sometimes it goes out the window.

I completely understand the need for chocolate and SF Fudgsicle and SF pudding don't satisfy me at all.
I am big on chocolate smoothies....they are so rich and last for awhile!

Destiny and Jamie, Both of your ideas sound great for my SO! Thank you!
Like your boyfriend sweet treats are usually what derail me. Like Jamie, I sometimes use a piece of dark chocolate to cut that craving because when I want chocolate the SF fudgesicles don't always cut it - only I keep mine in my co-workers desk so I have to walk over there and walk back...and if I do it to often I start to feel bad so that helps as well!
Something I discovered today were chocolate chip cookies. There's a legal recipe on here somewhere that calls for cocoa and the cookies are very chocolately. I have a HUGE sweet tooth and I made them today. They are so good that I had to package them up for work snacks this week so I wouldn't eat them all today.
