it’s my habit of having sweets after dinner because I tend to watch tv a lot the whole evening. I can’t concentrate at what I am doing when I don’t have sweets to munch. They say it’s getting one to become fat especially when it’s a sweet carbo. most sweets are carbs. Do you sweets after dinner too or every after meal?

I always make something sweet for dessert. I always feel that it is a great way to end the day. I make cookies and cake for dessert. If I get to busy to bake I usually keep candy on hand. My husband is diabetic so I have to be careful when I make sweets. I do find sweets that do not contain too much sugar or I make them with Splenda.

I'm more of a salty snack person than a sweet snack person. I do like a bit of dark chocolate though. I find that if I keep my hands busy I tend to snack less in the evening. Snacking in the evening is the last thing we should do but if we really need to fruit is best. We also need to give our stomachs a chance to rest just as we do the rest of our body.

I heard about that too..that eating sweets ain't too good and might increase one's weight. I don't need to munch sweets after dinner, but I need to have some form of desserts. I think that is something like a habit formed there..

hi flagella^^;; i also have a sweet tooth and these cravings usually happens at night or maybe you are right, after having dinner. i also feel not contended if i don't have a bite. i actually had a bar of snickers a while back which is not my choice for chocolates because i would go for the black one but it's the only available. i do like to eat other form of sweets like icecream, pudding, or fudge cakes and custards. it may not be good because we can't burn those calories while sleeping but im still thankful im not gaining weight..

Of course; dinner is just the prelude to dessert.
