What do you eat for a sweet treat when on a diet?

lickylonglips

on a similar note, i would really appreciate your help with suggestions for snacks to take to the cinema. i am on a diet (am aiming to lose 3 stones in 14 weeks - started 3 weeks ago and have lost 16lb so far!) and am type 2 diabetic, so most sweet (delicious) things are out. any suggestions, please? i am an avid cinemagoer, but struggle to avoid the tasty treats!

a small box of popcorn should be ok. dont the ice cream vendors usually do a lower-cal frozen yoghurt option?

If you take 6 with you that's only 90 cals.

I'd probably spoil it by eating the rest of the pack at home :rotfl:

Mini bananas, melon, strawberries, kiwi or other fruit, possibly with some 0% fat yoghurt.

It's better to have something like that around, as anything more calorie dense and in larger servings is likely to get stuffed in one go. I certainly avoid having any easy refined carbs around for that reason.

My favourite low fat dessert is a meringue nest, topped with some raspberry sugar free jelly, a good big spoonful of Onken fat free vanilla yogurt and a helping of defrosted frozen raspberries scattered over the top. All that for less than 100 calories and virtually fat free. Yummy!

I'll second the caramel rice cakes - work well as popcorn, but even better as a very decadent snack with chocolate philly.

I take them to work every day (plain) for picking at, and three fit perfectly into a round 600ml Lock&Lock tub. (Daren't take the whole pack in as I might eat the lot at once!)

When I am on a diet and I fancy a sweet treat I usually eat a box of Lind0r chocolates, Guylian Seashells or a large pack of jelly babies.

If I don't have those things in then I am not adverse to attacking the nutella jar with a spoon
