Sweet Cravings

[Peterborough Guy]

hello all,

Just lately I have had some cravings for sweet things.

I have tried fruit etc, but the cravings still enter my head.

I was wondering if I could have some jam or something, I think I have seen some diabetic jam somewhere, and I am wondering if I can have that on crackerbread or something?

Also if you have any other suggestions, I would love some ideas.

Sugar free jelly, muller lights, diabetic sweets. I'm scratching my head, but there must be loads of things that could fill that need. Maybe even a sweet tea, using sweetner. I'm sure there'll be a few replys to follow that'll top mine!! Ohh and coco with sweetner - If you have any!!

Gary, go careful with diabetic sweets etc, they contain a sweetner called sorbitol- too much and you get explosive diarrhea.lol

I can testify to that ... once ate a full packet of sugar free polos ... wowser not good

Sainsbury's sell sugar free marshmallows and they taste EXACTLY the same as normal ones, only 5 cal eaxh. I ate the whole bag on the way to a bbq at a friends, and had a terrible time on their loo, with people knocking on the door to see if I was ok, mortfying!

There you go Gary, now you know at least 2 things NOT to have ... Glad I don't like marshmallow, lol x :wave_cry:

Anything eaten in large quantaties has probably got side affects, one occasionally when you're craving is probably okay!

Diabetic jam is fine. There are some great recipes in the section here for high protein low sugar treats like traybakes and gingerbread men, just remember limits as it is easy to start with 1 a week and find yourself at 4 a day.

Iv been craving sweets badly, so I bought a pack of rolo's and then when I crave something sweet I have 1 Rolo, I have one normally every other day.

I also love frozen grapes, they go like a boiled sweet but are just super yummy xxx

1. combine biscuit crumbs and butter in a bowl, then bake for 10 minutes
2. beat cream cheese, ricotta and sour cream...then add egg and sweetener
3. add lemon juice and stir thoroughly , then pour onto cooled crust and bake for 60-75 minutes until light golden brown on topa nd slightly jiggly in teh middle yet firm. Do not overbake

I went through the sweet cravings and fine a milky coffee with a touch of sugar does it.Im very wary of sugar free anything cos of the sorbitol.It goes through at a rate of knots!Also I have a crumpet or half a plain scone with a smear of strawberry conserve on and that satisfys me craving.Its all about what we can tolerate and moderation.It would of been a 2 cream cakes or half a pack of chocolate digestives a few months ago!
I feel much better for upping my carbs,in fact i wasnt eating any to talk of and thats not good for you.I know they say eat three meals and two snacks so I include carbs every time and the lightheadedness and blured eyes have gone!Maz x

Joey80, for savoury cravings try peanuts salted or dry roasted only a palmtop at a time satisfies my savoury craving but whilst high in fats (hence the small amount at a time) nuts are good for protein and I am told Brazil's are high in a vitamin/mineral that is good for your hair. Thanks to advice from others a few weeks back & the knowledgeable Shel about the Brazil's.

i love peanuts and peanut better so will have to try that xx

Make sure you get Whole Earth pnb cos its sugar free just ground nuts!
