Do you love sweets? I'm not going to judge. I love sweets. I think there's something elementally wrong with people who don't love sweets. They're perpetually grumpy in my experience. But we'll move on since the point I'm headed towards has nothing to do with sweets and their effect on mood, but with sweets and their availability during a very low calorie diet. There are basically three ways to deal with sweets when on a very low calorie diet. You can indulge very, very carefully and on a very limited basis. Or you can substitute other, lower calorie sweeteners for the sugar, etc. that you would normally have for "sweets." Or you can just flat out do without.
Sometimes when you're on a very low calorie diet there's a calorie limitation, but no other set in stone guidelines. In this instance you are free to indulge in sweets. You just have to be ultra careful because sweets are typically so high in calories compared to other foods. And you have to make sure you leave enough calories leftover after your short indulgence to stretch for the rest of the day.
Know your available substitutes. This will depend upon the particular very low calorie diet that you are on. If you have a sweet tooth this may very well be the most vital preparation you can do for the start of your program. You'll need to know exactly what you're going to access to fill that "sugar void" for the duration of your very low calorie diet. Choose a sweetener that won't kill your calorie count for the day and that is approved by your program's protocol.
Low calorie sweeteners (sugar substitutes) are all over. Some still like SweetNLow or Equal. But others opt for what's becoming known as intensely sweet options: aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium, stevia or saccharin. These carry an "intense" sweetness in very small doses. So they help immensely when trying to get that "sweet" taste in without spending all your calories.
There are two sweeteners approved for use while following the HCG diet. These two sweeteners are stevia and saccharine.
Adding appropriate sweets to your HCG approved meal plan is much easier when you have access to recipes that have been tried and tested. For example there's an entire dessert section in the HCG Diet Direct Recipe Guide that is filled with yummy sweets (desserts and snacks).
And then there's still that one last option. You can just go without sweets. Even if you have a sweet tooth you are capable of indulging it or not. It's a great method and it's one we should all learn at one point or another. When dieting you have to be able to say no to things that you may want. It's just that simple.
