After every meal, I crave some sort of dessert even if it’s a piece of chocolate. Has anyone found a way to curb those cravings? I’ve been trying to eat fruit instead but it just doesn’t do it for me.

Also this sometimes. I cap at 3. Not very low in sugar but at least it’s healthy.

I found a dark chocolate bar that has sea salt in it--and for some reason that helps hit the chocolate craving and I'm able to just have one piece. Other chocolate types, I have trouble stopping after one piece. Also sometimes honey roasted peanuts can fill that same gap, but it can be hard to stop ;)

I chew a piece of gum - usually an interesting flavor (not mint) and it disrupts the craving

Power through the sugar addiction! It’s really tough to kick but you’ll be so happy when you do.

I heard there are mints or gums that make sugar taste like putty. Never tried it but I'm sure that would help.

Dark chocolate (the brand I eat is bark thins)! I eat one piece after dinner. Not the healthiest dark chocolate brand, but it’s tasty haha

Mealenders is good for this, chocolate coated with mint on the inside, takes a bit of time to dissolve which helps curb the hunger at the end of a meal

Ginger shots

When you get control over your weight and the bulges start to go, that is the best motivation. Sugar definitely is tied to the bulge and when you can make the correlation between them, it gets easier .

I actually got the pinch test from a “Special K” breakfast cereal commercial several years ago. Been doing it ever since. Less than a inch.

Cottage cheese with fruit or berries. Also candy grapes.

Cinnamon bread for me

Or coco wheats hot cereal

Dark chocolate

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
