Candy
ad
Well I realize this will be frowned upon , but I must admit I have a sweet tooth. I find things like ice cream/ apple pie or cakes to be just disasterous to my weight , but a little bit of candy not quite as bad . Unfortunately I usually reach for the candy when Im stressed. Not so much a chocolate bar, but a jolly rancher or gummy bears.
Im trying not to do that but have found what I think is not quite as bad and still satisfies that sweet tooth. They are all natural Ginger chews. Only 2g sugar per piece but obviously you have to like ginger.
Anyone got any other things that arent quite so bad.

Hey Noviceass, those EXTREME SOUR PATCH KIDS are the bomb!!!! I love the sour gummies. But you're not alone my man, I get a craving for something sweet almost daily... just gotta fight it cause once I have one bowl of ice cream, I'm eating the whole quart.... worse than a damn kid man... keep the usual snacks like apples, watermelon, etc. But I must admit, its never as good as those Twix Ice Cream bars!
AnonMy youngest refuses to drink any milk and he doesnt eat cheese either. Doesnt make him sick he just refuses. Anyway in an interest to get some milk in him, 2 years ago I bought an icecream maker. He ate milk that way , but I also found out way to fast how quickly ice cream packs bad pounds on to me, so I really try to avoid it, or as you say I eat the whole quart !
allright now Im not feeling quite so guilty about snatching a few gummys.
LOLOLO Oh, I forgot to mention it makes me fat as well, got to avoid it like the plague!!! Heres an article on why the gummies post workout, I couldn't explain it any better.

AnonWell thats good info, I read it quick so I may have missed it, but I didnt see any mention of gummy bears. I supopose they will do the same thing to my insulin as some fruit would. Thanks !
Give them a vote if you find it helpful.Permalinkmr127superdeeJim stoppani reccomends a whole bad of gummy bears with your post workout shake!
AnonHuh, So maybe my bodys cravings are telling me something.
Still though would love to know the reason for this .
things like gummy bears good for you post workout
AnonOh well thats good to know. Unfortunately I usually work out in the AM first thing so that would mean a gummy bear breakfast.
Why is it good post work out, does an increase in glucose do something for you ?
Exactly I eat a bag of gummies post work...perfectly fine.
