Everyone loves to grab piece of candy or chocolate now and then. But if you're trying to lose weight or eat a healthier diet, the kind of treat you grab makes a big difference - even if it's a low-calorie sweet snack. It's critical that you satisfy your sweet tooth according to your "sweet treat style" so that you don't eat too much and ruin your diet.
So how do you determine your sweet treat style?
Almost everyone falls into one of these three categories:
- Portion control pro: Most of us want to be a portion control pro. This is the dieter who can eat just a few bites of any dessert and then stop. The key, however, is knowing how much to nibble so you don't eat too many calories.
- Distracted dieter. Do you crave sweet snacks when you're bored, tired, or upset? Then you're probably eating because you need a distraction. These eaters need sweet snacks that are lowest in calories and take longer to eat.
- Sugar junkie. If you're a sugar junkie, you crave sugar all the time. You have a hard time eating just a small amount of any sweet treat and you usually consume more calories and sugar than you need. These eaters need portion-controlled, low calorie sweets that are also high in protein or fiber to control hunger.
Now that you know what kind of sweet eater you are, check this list of low-calorie sweet snacks to find the treat that works best for you.
