Add 100% coco (I use dark chocolate) and stevia (or your favorite sweetner). It has a bit of aftertaste from the sweetner but it works against those cravings and what isn't great about the macros in non-fat cottage cheese?  |
Yeah, unfortunately, I eat that stuff too and it doesn't seem to help. We make super-shakes with sugar-free pudding mix, I eat cottage cheese with blueberries, I eat dark chocolate, I put sugar-free flavored syrups in my coffee..
When it comes down to it, I just seem to crave stuff. I did when I was eating whatever I wanted, and I do when I'm managing my food intake. I don't know if it's mental or what. Most of the time I can just roll my eyes at it and ignore it and be satisfied with tea or a peanut butter protein bar or what have you... Sometimes they come with a vengeance and nearly break me. But given a little time they pass.
I did have a dream about eating cake, though. I was eating some sort of glacee with cake that had a custard filling. And there was a festival outside my house, and someone gave me a free The Doors sweatshirt (and I don't even like them). And the city set up snow-making machines so you could ski on our street.
That was fun.
