for those with a sweet tooth, how do you control your cravings?
I've been really good bout now having any sweets for about a two months now, but I'm starting to question everything
last night I almost broken down and went to the coffee shop to get some cookies but instead I forced myself to go for a run
felt good, but damn I am thinking about sweets 24/7 now
Count macros, stick to them, and don't ever have cheat meals or cheat day.
Protein shakes.
Sweet tea.
Peanut butter.
Granola with Greek yogurt and protein powder.
it's a mental game, op. control comes through discipline.

these are all good things. i satisfy my cravings through my daily two scoops (tm) of flavorless whey, plus two scoops of nesquik powder. frothy as fuck, but it tastes like my childhood.

I don't, I love to eat. That's why I choose to be powerlifter, so I can freely eat as much as I want.
So eat a fucking cookie then - who the hell cant fit a single cookie into their daily diet?
Do some more cardio if that's actually the case and then go have your goddamn cookie.
As long as you don't binge eat like a retard and actually can satisfy yourself with a single, maybe two cookies then it's all good.

this! go find a place where you can buy 1 or 2 cookies only. I found if i deny my cravings too long i eventually binge. Just dont buy a pack of cookies thinking you can control it, if you know you cant.
alright guys thanks for the advice
gonna go have one but thats it
also I'm a manlet so extra calories add up pretty quickly thats all
If you don't want to crave sweets just cut out sugar completely. After a while you won't even want it anymore.

I know a lot of guys who dedicate a single day out of the week to cheat. However, they lift 6 days a week and other than their dedicated cheat day, have incredibly strict diets. They all look fucking great. Super stronk with nice size and low bf. I never asked but they might be on the juice although I believe their physiques are able to be attained through natural means.

>6 days
>permanently lean
>great mass
I haven't even seen the guys and know they roid. But it surely is their "great" diet.

>controlled by the sugar jew
Take another sip, faggot.
hey op a good way to not do something is to think of a punishment for yourself. eg. Eat a cookie? 30 pushups.
think of creative ones that also benefit you
