doc2be1 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Everyone...Well this type of forum is new for me. I just started with NF this past weekend so I am trying to figure out what is going on. I am also trying to adopt the Paleo lifestyle which I am not finding that extreme as I lived the low carb lifestyle for four years until I quit smoking and then it was downhill from there. I am an avid cyclist which is how I quit smoking but now I need to lose about 50 pounds. I am doing some weights, some boxing, some cardio and the basic training with NF. My biggest weakness is sweets, so I am trying to find ways to work around this. On my low carb diet I could use Atkins bars as a sweet reward...does anyone have any ideas on what I can use. By the way I am single with four dogs...I am a restaurant manager, and am working on my dissertation so I hope to have my PhD before the end of the year. Have a groovy day everyone Jane Link to comment

rketterman Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 As far as sweet rewards go I eat fruit...specifically citrus fruit or pineapple. You could also go with chocolate...the darker the better and it should be 70% cocoa or higher. It gets a bit bitter but I enjoy 88% myself. It really seems to keep any major sugar "craving" at bay. Still, you can't go overboard with it. I personally use Endangered Species brand. I get the 3.5 oz pouches. 1 piece satisfies me when I want sweets. Welcome aboard and best of luck to you.
