Chocolate substitutes

asianfashionista86

I'm obsessed with chocolate any ideas as to what would help curb cravings for chocolate or something that you found helped you replace chocolate?

If I'm low on calories I'll have a sugar free fudge-sicle (40 calories) or a "diet" hot chocolate (25 calories) in the winter. But I also eat regular old chocolate cake and candy bars so... Meh. Make it fit.

Arbonne Fit Chews. Or any type of Quest bar

@slaite1 I know what you mean sometimes a substitute can't beat the original but those all sounds like good subsitutes I never thought of a sugar free fudgecicles yum!

Better chocolate. Seriously. Nothing quenches my craving for chocolate than one square of high cocoa chocolate rather than a full bar of crappy Hershey's or something.

ummmm.....nope....got nothing.....

there is no substitute for chocolate.....sorry....:(

Sometimes I feel like I live off of sugar free Popsicles (15 calories!!) and fudgesicles. It does the trick when im feeling snacky, and stops me from overeating other food. Sweet and takes a while to eat.

This. When I try moderation, I go for a single serving of something really good and high quality. (Even if it is more expensive.)

70% or 85% cacao dark chocolate

I keep Dove dark chocolate squares on hand. They are really good and a couple of them satisfies my chocolate craving. Nothing beats having the real thing.

A quest bar is a protein bar basically right?

Dark chocolate is actually good for you. Unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate pb2. Sugar free chocolate pudding

I'll definitely try your suggestion I haven't had one of those in a while I usually reached for ice cream sandwiches lol

Interestingly, I wasn't a big chocolate eater until I lost wait. Now I crave it constantly. So I eat a lot of chocolate now...chocolate covered nuts, chocolate squares, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate ice cream, chocolate frozen yogurt ....

TeaBea

Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice Tea with milk & sugar

"Splurge" on the diet hot chocolate, find one that's at least 50 calories. The 25 calorie one looks like a science experiment.....it never mixes together (just weird).

I like chocolate PB2 mixed in vanilla Greek yogurt.

Chocolate shredded wheat is good too.

Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares. These babies are individually wrapped. More chocolate ...... less sugar.

I refuse to curb or restrict chocolate. As far as I'm concerned, I don't see the point in "artificially" restricting certain foods. Then again, I go for very dark (70% or better cocoa) so the higher fiber content mitigates carb/fat load

Lindt is one of my faves, and it's easily available. Which might actually be a bad thing

Another Dove fan. Dark chocolate with sea salt and caramel. 38 calories each. Work it into my daily calories. Been doing this for 3 years now. 19 months on maintenance. Sustainable changes for life. The best advice I can give. Don't give up the things you really love. Work it into your daily calories. It works for me.

It's just your mind telling you to just have one that's hard to work on

I'm down with the sugar free fudgesicles. If I need something not cold I'll eat the chocolate PB2 on these crunchy things called pop cakes. The popcake tastes like nothing but it is a crunchy vehicle to get the pb2 in my mouth.You can eat like 2 tbs of the PB2 for 45 calories and the pop cakes are like 15 each.
