    I often get a sweet tooth after dinner. I can live without chocolate or ice cream (most of the time) but I like fruit desserts. My problem is if a make a dessert it is so good I end up eating the whole thing in 1-2 days and it becomes a "danger food" for me, eg. low fat blueberry cheesecake. Does anyone have any ideas for ways I can satisfy my sweet tooth and still stay on program (possibly some  ideas for ready made prepackaged desserts out there that I can  keep on hand?)

    RE: dessert?

    For dessert ideas how about replacing the ice cream with fat free/sugar free frozen yogurt. I know Blue Bunny has a few that range in calories of 70-120 per half cup serving. Sugar free jello with some fat free cool whip is another good dessert idea either comes ready made or you can make a box and store it in individual servings for later. Fat free yogurt can be a good dessert as well plus you are getting some calcium with that. Angel food cake either made at home or store take away with a few berries is a good dessert idea. You could also make a fruit and better plate with some sugar free chocolate syrup or cool whip as a dipping sauce.

    Maybe you try something quite different to satisfy your sweet tooth? Emm, like some kind of tea? You feel not used to it at the beginning though, maybe you like it later. i hated spicy food several years ago, but im used to it. ;-)

    RE: dessert?

    For some low calorie sweet desserts you can try some of the following.


    -fat free surgar free ice creams or frozen yogurts


    -fat free/sugar free jello puddings


    -sugar free gelatin with fat free cool whip


    -a small bowl of sweeter cereal like mini wheats


    -fat free yogurts come in individual containers and make a great treat


    -popcicles  are ready grab treats


    -the 100 calorie cookie/muffins/cake packs make quick desserts but are not that filling and are high cost.


    -ready made crepes with fruit and cool whip or even chilled with fat free/sugar free pudding and shaved chocolate.
