Newbie!

Hi everyone! I don't know how many weight loss plans I have started in the past...I always get bored and my motivation hits rock bottom....then I'm left moaning about my belly while eating a bar of chocolate!! SO decided to get my butt into gear and give this my all hoping that because you have to check in with yourself every evening, that that will give me the boost I need to keep going!

My weakness is the sweet stuff, so if anyone has any tips on how to curb these cravings, I would be very grateful!

I find sweet stuff addictive. I have to go cold turkey for a couple of weeks and I'm done. I don't even think about chocolate etc any more.

Crisps is a bit more difficult for me. I love them, but again it seems that the less I eat the less I crave.

Aw thank you I'm up for the challenge!

I really struggle with sweet stuff as well, I always crave a dessert after a meal. My go to low calorie desserts are strawberries with sweetner on or an ice lolly - strawberry splits tend to only be around 70cals and so worth it!

Lately my breakfast has always been sweet, because I've been having overnight oats in sugar-containing yogurt. Sometimes I chop some banana or strawberries in it too. There's not enough calories left for me to have sweet stuff after lunch or dinner -except for a fruit or some coke zero.

I have mostly conquered my sweet tooth by eating low gi carbohydrates throughout the day, having a decent amount at breakfast and lunch. I also stopped all 'diet' drinks which I found were affecting my taste buds 😕 All food tastes so much better, and fruit etc tastes very sweet to me 😊 I rarely feel the need to snack or eat sugary foods, although I do allow the odd treat 😊
