For the past few weeks, the urge to have something sweet has been getting stronger. I figured maybe it was that I wasn't getting all my nutrition in so I upped my protein intake. I've begun to drink more water and I've been working out and strength training fairly good (almost 1.5 hrs every day). So why am I feeling like I want to take a pack of double stuffed oreo's and just jam them into my mouth? It's like I need to have something sweet, and if I don't, I go stir crazy. Is there something I need to switch up perhaps. Or is it all in my head?

SF Popsicles are great. They are super low calorie. SF fudesicles were my life saver in the beginning.

Now I really like Jello Mouse in the chocolate Mint.

Love that jello mouse! Nice dark chocolate flavor.

I didn't have much of a sweet tooth pre-op, AND I didn't really like chocolate. But now I do get a sweet craving every now and then, it's weird. And what do I satisfy it with? One small square of very dark chocolate. Weird, but it seems to do the trick.

Were it not for SF Popsicles, I would be a puddle of goo on the ground... I love them!!

I too have experienced this...and it's very frequent lately. I've spoken with my trainer about it, and he's thinking that because I'm working out so hard (weights) my body is demanding refinded sugars (carbs). So, for the last 30 days, I'll eat a square or 2 of dark chocolate, or suck on a Jolly Rancher candy, daily. It's not effected my weight in the least....I'm at goal. Your body is trying to tell you something. It's missing something it needs.....just my 2 cents.

If I need something sweet, I usually go for a piece of whole wheat bread with about a teaspoon of Nutella. Great stuff, it always relieves my chocolate cravings and I don't feel guilty afterwards (:
