I too have a heavy sweet tooth. I have found that watermelon is a wonderful craving buster. It is sweet, juicy, crunchy and very good for you! Frozen grapes (both the green and red ones) are also very good. Above all though, if you want that piece of chocolate, have it (but make it count). Buy a single piece of really good chocolate and don’t feel guilty about it! I work part-time for a nutritionist and the one thing she ALWAYS tells me is: There are no inherently “bad” foods- but there are foods that are better fuel choices for your body than others. Just be aware of portion sizes and daily nutrition requirements.

I’m just Curious. How many Calories should be in a snack? Also How many snacks should a person have in a day?

I just bought two boxes of kashi cherry dark chocolate TLC bars, I’m going to bring a bar to work with me tonight for a snack.

Try making some chocolate ice cream using a can of organic coconut milk, a few tbsp of cocoa powder, and a few tbsp of agave nectar. Blend them up well in your blender and either freeze in an ice-cream maker or in a bowl until it’s just soft (or do like my mom and freeze it in ice-cube trays and take out just 4-5 cubes for a snack!). This should satisfy your chocolate and ice cream cravings with NO nasties in it!
As for my healthy snacks, I like to do a bit of sprouted granola, lots of strawberries, and soymilk – with a cup of warm tea. I also like to do a crunchy apple with a bit of peanut butter and some raisins. Yummy!!!

Help! Whenever I make a committment to not eat sweets, the sweets seem sweeter, chocolate much more chocolatier, all of it more appealing. I committed yesterday and I ate worse yesterday than I’ve eaten in a long time! Any advice?

This afternoon I really wanted chocolate! Instead I mixed blueberries with chopped fresh apple. Now I have no sweet craving and I feel good for not eating the chocolate.

I need help! I’m an addicted binge snacker. I do a 30 minute work-out video every morning and some basic crunches, push-ups, squats, toe touches and knee lifts every night, but almost every night when no one’s watching i eat almost everything in sight. I’m 5’1” and way around 115 pounds. i feel huge. any advice?
