I can be good all day and then eat something sweet that blows it for the day. Any suggestions?

I try to chew on a piece of gum and wait for the craving to pass.

Hi Deberdoo!

What helps me is warm decaf tea sweetened with stevia, skim milk. Crunching on celery or baby carrots. Now if you are going for more of a treat, have a low cal oat cake to nibble on and burn it off with a walk, nothing long or too stressful. A simple slow 30 min walk around nature or town can burn 60+ cals, walking faster doubles that. Here's a great link to counting how much you burn walking according to your weight. http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc2.htm

If the day's not done yet, you haven't "blown" anything ;)

Would it be helpful to have some mini candybars around or would you be too tempted to eat so many of them that it wouldn't work for you? I keep good quality mini chocolates around (Dove dark and milk) and that works for me--they are 42-44 calories each. Another option is a high protein snack bar (snack wells or south beach cinnamon raisin bars are the sweetest I've found--140 calories). I also sometimes drink some water with a Crystal light flavor packet in it as a lower calorie sweet option.

Breakfast for me is often the largest mean of the day unless I'm eating out. I also eat mostly a vegan diet at home.
I rotate between a couple smoothies. The most common being Almonds, raw cacao powder, hemp protein, flax meal, one date and a banana. This is my power foot, I feel great and it keeps be filled up for ages. Breakfast for me is often the largest mean of the day unless I'm eating out. I also eat mostly a vegan diet at home.
I also love oatmeal in the winter, I'll often saute half a piece of fruit with cinnamon in my oatmeal pot before I cook it.
