I don't think I'll ever get over needing something sweet, but now (I'd never have believed this in the past) two things do the trick for me--a little fruit w/Splenda and my DD coffee. I only have one or two coffees a day, but sometimes I wish I could get used to it black or at least w/cream only--ain't gonna happen though. I think, because of a psychological block. I was always trying to drink black coffee in the low fat days and it made me gag.

It has nothing to do with will power (I have none), but so far, I've stayed away from "franken" foods, mainly because I'm afraid I'll either like them or they'll make me want the real thing--like chocolate, which used to be a nightly snack. The amazing thing is that I really don't miss it. I think that would that change if I had one bite now.

I've heard on the forum that L-Glutamine helps with sweet cravings. Anybody tried it?
