Dessert Every Night!

Eat it for breakfast. Then it’s not dessert.

And?

Take chlorpheniramine and lotsa water and go to sleep, or let your neighbor call you "fat ho."

Stop

I used to have this habit. Then I started drinking red wine every night. The sugar cravings stopped.

Sure, I’m an alcoholic now... but I don’t eat cookies any more!

You have to do it cold turkey, which is what I finally did. It will be hard for the first three days, but the craving diminishes over time, and you'l lose the need. But even now, if I have even one piece of something sweet, I can't stop. Its an adiction...

R5 I thought about drinking something sweet instead of dessert. I made myself a maple old-fashioned one night. It was delicious! But yeah, I have a problem with sugar. Hope your drinking problem improves.

I wish I could just enjoy sweets in moderation.

I swear this works. Brush your teeth right after dinner. It'll cut the craving for something sweet.

I think you may have to quit sugar all together.

Switch to sugar free Jello and sugar free whipped cream. I do this for husband on keto..

Years ago I cut out refined sugar as best I could. I was doing so well. Then at Hallowe'en I ate ONE Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. That was all it took. Refined sugar is like crack cocaine. OP, if you can do it, take one bite of your dessert and brush your teeth and throw the rest out. If you can't do that, stop cold turkey. In my experience, it takes approx. two weeks before the cravings stop. But be forewarned, one bite of refined sugar and you'll be back in First Class on the Sugar Blues Express!

Maybe I should just make this tonight!

Drink black coffee or espresso if it doesn't keep you awake.

Or, have iced water and brush you teeth and pray to the baby Jesus to stop your sugar addiction.

If you do, r12, make chocolate buttercream.

Y'all should eat some German cakes and pastries!

What's your favorite, r15?

Feuerwehrkuchen is very good!

My father ate a dessert after each meal, including breakfast. He never got fat either. I only have dessert on special occasions. I'm genetically programmed to be fat. If I had a dessert per day, I would be a circle by now.

Oh, YEAH, r17. That looks wonderful!

I buy cut-up pineapple at the supermarket and keep it in the fridge. One big cold chunk of it while I'm washing the dinner dishes kills the dessert craving, at least for me. It's sweet enough to make me think I've had more of a dessert than I actually did.

I'd love to bake it for ya, American boy!

Think of sugar as crack. I have no dessert s in the house. If I have a cake in front of me, I take a bite and throw it in toilet.

This could be linked to stress or sleep deprivation. Eating more protein may help kill the cravings.

Things that have worked for me:

Really good fruits like bing cherries or mangoes.

Slice of toast with butter or peanut butter.

Cereal (steel-cut oats, rolled oats) with dried fruit, yes, at night.

Melona bar (like a creamy popsicle). Low calorie count.

Don't switch to alcohol.

Eating something sweet at the end of your nighttime meal is human nature.

I stopped drinking completely about a year ago and for the first time in my life started to crave sweets immediately after. It's annoying as I never even had a taste for desserts much at all as a kid or your adult. Whatever the case, I only have one whatever it is at night (usually chocolate - homemade brownies or cookies, etc. as I hate store-bought anything). I am happy to no longer have alcohol cravings (they disappeared after about 2 weeks), but often feel that I have just substituted one vice for another. BTW, I am 6'1", 175lb. and not overweight. I no longer have a 6 pack, but I don't really gain weight as a rule. My only fear is diabetes as my father was diagnosed a few years back and now on medication to manage. He ate nothing but sweets his entire life and was never in great shape - so our risk factors have been drastically different at least. Likely I will have to kick this habit also - but then will be left with no vices at all besides sex LOL. The joys of middle age!

R25 Thank you, Oprah

I bought a Kitchen Aid Mixmaster and that was my major downfall. I became obsessed with baking.

The title of this thread should have been

Fat Whores Rejoice Dessert Every Night!

OP, post a picture. It doesn't have to include your face, something like your elbow or or ankle would work. I need this to assess your level of fatness and offer helpful advice.

Nobody wants to see OP's elbow.

I've had great luck with the Sheet Cake Diet

You see if you eat cake squares from a Sheet Cake, they don't have as much frosting as Round Cake slices

Makes all the difference in the world

Atkins pecan clusters (1g sugar each) or low carb toast with sugar free strawberry jam (2g sugar) or lower sugar oatmeal (6g sugar) does the trick for me. Fruit (excluding apples) just makes me more hungry/crave sweets more.

*lower sugar oatmeal (4g sugar)

OP types fat!

Atkins Pecan Clusters - and many sugar-free foods give me the chits

Don't buy the shit when you go to the grocery store. Eat the strawberries with a tablespoon of low fat, sugar-free whipped cream if you must add something to the berries.

INSERT VOMIT EMOJI

I couldn't bear the sweet young thing in R12's video for long, but soon found a much better demonstration in the features displayed at the side of that screen. Not dessert, but positively mesmerizing!

Stock up on cans of lychees. They are delicious and 2 or 3 make a perfect desert. Perfect for the lockdown cause they last a long time in the cans and even after opening if you store them in a plastic container.

Not sure if there are even any calories. Oh yea drain the liquid from the can and rinse them.

OP here. Thanks for the replies. Are usually crave dessert about three hours after dinner. And now it’s happening again. I have some strawberries in the fridge I guess I’ll just munch on those. The problem is I want to sprinkle them with sugar. I don’t know if I could ever quit sugar. It seems too difficult. The people I’ve known who have tried to have not succeeded. Sugar is evil I tell ya!

R42, lychees I'm telling you. They are incredibly sweet and I have an incredible sweet tooth. Strawberries aren't sweet enough for me. Oranges would also be pretty sweet with no enhancements.

Lychees look & seem gross to me R43. What else you got?

frozen cherries with a dollop of real whipped cream (no added sugar).

If skipping dessert is not an option, Walmart has a surprisingly wide variety of sugar free puddings and jellos- refrigerated and non refrigerated- and sugar free whipped cream. There’s a lemon one made with lemon juice (with sugar) that’s 140 calories almost always sold out because it’s amazing over fruit.

R46 did you mean lemon whip cream?
