Members shared creative strategies for managing sugar cravings beyond typical fruit or water recommendations, with many emphasizing that true sugar cravings require different solutions than general hunger. Several members recommended specific products like ChocZero chocolates and syrups, Quest candies, sugar-free gum, and dark chocolate as practical alternatives that satisfy sweet cravings without spiking blood sugar. A recurring theme was finding what works personally, whether through distraction techniques like connecting with the community online, mindful substitution with cheese or low-carb treats, or even unconventional approaches like meditation to ride out intense cravings.

You're a guy. A revelation. Morning sex is out of the question these days. But thank you Ofcourse. Lennon would have used "Whatever floats your boat." But the meter didn't fit right.šŸ˜Ž

Sometimes sugar free gum helps me. I have been getting Extra Refreshers berry mix. I use the gum for sugar craving or when i feel like snacking.

All of these are great but they don't really help when what I really want is a Bavarian cream donut.

Well when it comes to a sugar craving I know I can’t satisfy it with sugar so I’ve found choc zero chocolates they have been a godsend. They do not use sugar alcohol which is another bonus for me. They make wonderful syrup for coffee, milk and dark chocolate, caramels, marshmallows that actually roast, cookies, maple syrup, honey which I use in recipes that call for honey I don’t like it plain as it really doesn’t taste like honey but is wonderful in kabob sauce or marinades. Walmart carries the milk chocolate hazelnut squares. You can order online and they have quite a variety. My favorite is their Christmas nutcracker chocolates. Just go to choczero.com. They carry more than I listed all sugar free and sugar alcohol free. I also use quest candies which I buy locally. Peanut butter cup being my favorite.
