Ideas for a no carb snack to ease sugar cravings

[PamyK]

[The food is fine and the i'm always full which is good but in the evenings I am craving SUGAR!!!! After dinner i'm not allowed any carbs, I am allowed yoghurt but i'm already over it! I used to have an ice block in the evening but now i'm not allowed

Does anyone have any good ideas for any low-sugar snacks I can eat?

TIA [/QUOTE]

Hi

I'm currently doing atkins and cannot have any sugar at all. my biggest problem with a diet was always beating those sugar cravings. I have found that chromium tablets help to ease out your blood sugar levels which means you don't have the sugar cravings.

Appart from that there is a really good sugar free dark chocolate bar with mint crisps. It's by "....Well,naturally" and I buy it a Woolworths. And the good thing about this bar is it taste like real chocolate and it doesn't make you "go" if you have to much.

Hope this helps

Ooh, that sounds good, i'll have to look out for that, thanks. I think with the sugar cravings its more psychological than anything else so I don't think the tablets would work!

Keep the suggestions coming

I'm currently doing the Tony Ferguson diet and they sell a whole range of suger free chocolates, wafers (savoury and sweet), lollies and jellies. The lollies and jellies I find much cheaper in the supermarket, but DH and I absolutely love the wafers and the chocolate. He loves the praline one and me the white chocolate one. But they have dark, chilli, hazelnut, white, praline, mint, choc waffer(timeout kind of thing) and more. They aren't that cheap, I think $4.95 for a large block, but we looovvveeee them.

Are they high in fat though? Do you have any at home you can look at for me? So you can get them in the supermarket, hmm....

Not the choc. I don't think, not that brand but I'm sure there would others you can, I just know these are really yummy

O.K Waffers - per 100g (serving size 2.3g) Fat-23g, Carb-1g So a little high in fat
Chocolate - per 100g (serving size 8g) Fat 32g, Carb-8g. Again a little high.

I think you would be safest with the diet jelly that is 0g fat and 0.07g carb per 100g. So many flavours to choose from too. And with a little of low-fat low-carb (IGA make a great one) vanilla ice-cream, tastes like a Splice ice-cream, ummmmm.......

A Chupa Chup does me.........it is much lower in carbs than a yogurt.

I have avoided the diet jelly (and any of the diet products containing the additives numbers 951 and 950) as these additives seem to really increase my cravings for more sweet things.......

CombatQueen, ... the bags of lollies & wafer choc (& block of choc) that Tony Ferg centres sell you can get them in the Darrell Lea shop

(blocks are about $4.95 & bars about $2.50)

The bags of lollies you can also get in BigW, .. sometimes they have them on special for about $2.12 to $2.50 a bag

I love the dark choc wafer bar ... yummo
