It is natural for us to crave for sweets after a meal .According to experts apparently this urge or craving for sweets arises because of a hormone present in our bodies by the name of 'Seretonin' that gets released after we eat and our stomach gets full !
However, for most people no meal is really complete without eating dessert - fruits ,pastries , chocolates or sweets. ..
Personally, I have a sweet tooth and like to eat some sweets or fruits or at least a piece of jaggery or sugar candy after meals...

I love Bengali sweets a lot,most of them are milk based and taste delicious.In most traditional households in South India, a special kind of Jaggery is served at the end of the meal if sweets are not prepared.But of course all special meals end with a sweet dish or ice cream nowadays since it is very convenient !
Even I love Bengali sweets more than any other sweets.Sweets like roshogulla,chum chum are very tasteful.In my place "Gajar ka Halwa" is very famous and in winters we often eat it. :)
I too love gajar ka halwa when it is prepared well, have eaten some which is more like carrots cooked in sugar.It should be cooked well with lots of ghee until well blended and served with lots of nuts and raisins ...it is one of the best Indian sweets :)
Ha haa.. Indeep my fav too.. I love sweets after meal even i love them any time of the day... Before and after meals.. :)
@ vikas Yes I like eat sweets after a meal..
Most people have sweet tooth and like to eat sweets after meals or anytime during the day :) However, I notice that many youngsters these days are not very fond of sweets other than chocolates ...Traditionally in all countries sweets and desserts are served after a meal except in some communities in Southern parts of India where Sweet dish is served at the beginning of the meal...

In Maharashtra, Sweets are traditionally served along with the rest of the dishes! Some sweet dishes like Puran poli is actually the main course, served hot with lots of ghee poured on it!

Yes thats true, First the grated carrot is fried in Ghee and then the milk is added also sugar and by the time the carrot is cooked well the milk would have transformed into ghee and if one wants more can be added.. :)
It is just another drug that we can become addicted to. Our brain then connects sugar to feeling good.
It can be as powerful as a drug since sweets and in particular chocolates are addictive ...However, eating within limits may be a good addiction since it also has many health benefits.
I was eating sweets daily after lunch or dinner. I found out that my weight is increasing. So, when the sweets got over, I didn't bought more sweets from market. As time went, i got habitual to live without sweets.
And yes, i feel happy to say that my weight is not decreasing. I am happy.

It is good that you are able to curb your craving for sweets ...however Ronark, are you happy that your weight is decreasing or not decreasing...I am guessing that it is a typing mistake right ? :)

I think we can start a sentence with AND.
