Don't worry I'll report back as I bite through the crisp outer choux pastry & chocolate ganache...enjoy the texture of the soft under layer...then mop all that cream off my chin as it squeezing out from the bun...so you can enjoy it too Vince...vicariously!

 

[Bubbsie]

Now seriously depressed.
Going to bed now but this thread will be the FIRST thing I look at in the morning.
If I can sleep that is and not spend the night dreaming and lamenting about the Eclairs that got away, stolen in the Grand Eclair Heist Masterminded by that super eclair kidnapper aka Bubbsie.

No ransome...I'm paying cash.

What I've been getting is Gullion sugar free chocolate filled wafer biscuits. They tend to sell them in the cheapo shops. 4 wafers are about 5g carb. They do contain sweeteners, so don't eat too many or you may have a case of the trotts!

2 oreo thins are 8.5g - has got me through many a craving lol

Thanks Sproggers. I suppose the clue is in the name 🙂

 

[Marsbartoastie]

The problem is I would find it extremely difficult to eat only one lol🙄

My thought exactly. If there are four in the box I'll eat all four. 🙄

Sorry to be a prophet of doom, but I know what it's like to have a serious chocolate/sugar habit. Giving in to the craving is often a prelude to a binge...so beware. If you're bumbling along quite nicely, try not to rock the boat. What may seem like a small, measured treat can soon turn into a right old pig-out. Just sayin' like.

Wise words indeed 🙂 I struggled with this to begin with, but I found if I set a specific time I could have one/two of whatever I was having that day, it helped - gave me something to look forward to and I found it easier to leave the rest knowing I was going to go back to the rest the next day 🙂

100% correct although when I've suggested it to people in the past the response hasn't been great, I don't know why as I love it! BUT I've always preferred dark chocolate anyway x

 

[Radders]

Eclairs aren't too bad lol, the 4 pack from Tesco each éclair is only 12g carbs 🙂 x

It's always the one I go for if people bring in cakes for their birthday. Even a large one is only about 18g carbs.

I agree with this. It's all about keeping control for me. I allow myself three posh chocolates after dinner at weekends (15-25g) and a square of dark chocolate in the week (3-4g) and it doesn't lead to a binge because it's part of the regime.

Actually they are really nice.

I have a completely different attitude to treats. My overall goal is to keep my BG under tight control on a day-to-day basis. However, I'm happy for it to take a hit occasionally as long as I bring it back under control again promptly. This comes into play when there's social eating involved...like when someone brings cake to work or at special events.

The other area where my attitude seems to differ from the perceived wisdom is that I choose to make every chocolatey, silkly, smooth, sugary carb/cal count when it comes to treats. This means that perhaps once a month I'll eat a bar of Galler Praline Lait or Lindt Liquer chocolate. To me that makes far more sense and gives me far more pleasure than I'd get from a couple of biscuits every day.

The idea of eating two squares of chocolate and then stopping makes me chortle. That's never going to happen and I know myself too well to imagine that it ever will. I'm just too greedy.
