A friend of mine would take a couple ounces of cream cheese and blend it with a smidge of splenda for a cheesecakey-tasting treat. I can't remember if she added anything else to it or not?

At any rate, part of getting rid of sugar addiction is to give your body time to not want sweets, which is always tough! But in time your body will learn to appreciate the sweetness of butter on your vegetables as opposed to something with dessert qualities!

I'm not much into sweets, but I occasionally do as Cleochatra said~whip up a little cream cheese with splenda or davinci syrup. Some people make an ice cream with heavy cream with sweetener and vanilla extract. There is a way to put a little in a ziplock bag and surround the bag with salt and ice~it makes it ice cream.

Ebony,
I want to warn you from my own experiences.
In the past(a year ago) I did make the zip lock icecream and a few other legal sweet dishes. My weight stalled out and set me back. So beware that this can be a slippery slope.

Now I eat only unprocessed foods and no artifical sweetners past thru these lips. I find like cleo stated, that my regular foods taste so good to me now. And that is without any help from sweetners.

So I suggest that you break the addiction to sweets.

Sorry I know this is not what you want to hear.

Ebony,

The only way to slay the sweet monster is to starve it to death .. its difficult at first, but trust me, its the ONLY WAY.

Once you have eliminated the sweets, anything remotely sweet will make you gag ... I used to drink alot of Diet Pepsi and now, I can't stand it!

Hang in there, sweetie, it does get better!

Hey Ebony :wave I don't do sweets either, I was a sugar-fiend so I don't trust myself to nothing remotely close to that stuff, fake or not. Its like an Alcoholic drinking that stuff that tastes like Beer but it has no alcohol (its a set up!!). Like ttdriver said starve it girl!! Good Luck!!! I'm glad you took Becky's advice to steer clear. :yes

Ebony,
I take cream cheese, 1 packet of splenda and 1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa and mix it together. Micro it for about 10-15 seconds to softner the cream cheese. It is sweetned enough to really stop any urges I have. I only did this once or twice during induction, but it sure kept me away from the bag of M&Ms. I agree with those that tell you to starve away the suger monster, but we are all human and my opinion is to do whatever you have to so that you stay on track and dont fall off... It really works for me,, and is just sweet enough to get me thru...
