I have done a bit of research and it says if you eat one square of 80% coca plus chocolate it will take your craving away... I miss chocolate
My craving isint stopping, i havent had it in over 2 weeks..
Is it true you can get headaches from this?

Exercise.
It releases endorphins in your body which will help sate those cravings. Just do some leg squats, you'll be fine. It's just a battle you must be determined to win.0 -
I have the same problem.
But if I get cravings, I usually give in BUT have a teeny portion. Not awesome, but better a bite of chocolate cake than the whole slice, I guess.

I don't deny myself chocolate. My thoughts are if you deny yourself, you will eventually give in and then eat way too much of it. I will allow myself to eat chocolate from time to time, the key is moderation. Everything in moderation!0

I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to cut sweets out of my diet completely, but I would let my self "indulge" on the weekends. At first it seemed I would make up for lost time when Saturday roll around, but now it's not such a big thing if I have chocolate or not anymore. When I do get those cravings I can usually talk myself into waiting until the weekend and then I can "reward" myself for doing such a good job with some fantastic chocolate of my choice, if I feel I still need it. When that doesn't work I'll talk to DH who will help me through my cravings. Another tip... If I am having a crazy strong craving I'll make myself a weak cup of cocoa (twice the water or half the cocoa) when I'm relaxing in the evening.0

I eat a piece of Ghiradeli 60% dark chocolate. One square is only 52 calories and since it's not as sweet as milk chocolate, I'm satisfied with one piece.0

you can go for Dark chocolate.. why totally deprive yourself of chocolates ?0

I make chocolate instant sugar free pudding with low fat milk for an evening snack and have not had the sweet cravings or chocolate cravings I have suffered on other "diet" plans. I am also exercising much more, maybe that is helping.0

Because it is my weak point, when i indulge in chocolate it isint just one piece, it could be two bars.. Thats why i decided to cut it out!
I think im going to dry the two parts water and half coca.. !Thanks

I forgot about putting unsweetened coca powder in yogurt. I find yoplait is usually sweet enough to balance out the bitterness.0

I have Dove Dark Chocolate Cherry Hearts in my cabinet and probably haven't had one in 2 weeks...I don't know why I no longer crave chocolate or candy like I used to, but I rarely do. I got used to not eating that kind of stuff regularly, very quickly, and now I don't want it very often. I wish I could say that about Oreos...I'm afraid to even keep those in the house0

If I want chocolate I will have it, I usually have the dark chocolate 100 calorie bars from Trader Joes. I only have half of one along with a few almonds, yum!0

Exactly what I was going to post. Love the 100 Cal Bars from TJ's and also their little tins of Chocolate Covered Cocoa Nibs. They're about the size of a Tic Tac and 3 to 5 of those are actually enough for me to get a little chocolate hit...but, they're totally not something I'd have any interest in eating the whole pack.0 -
I am not really a choclate fan, but I have heard that if you take magnesium that it helps with cravings for chocolate.0
-
If you want a small snack, Kellogs Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars taste like candy bars, they are delicious.0

emerald cocoa covered almonds. Takes care of my chocolate craving, while not eating something completely bad for you!0

"They" say taking a magnesium supplement helps with chocolate cravings. Chocolate is very high in magnesium and some people crave it because they're low in it. I don't have personal experience with it though. Something worth checking into maybe. Good luck!!0

I'm a crazy sugar freak as well. Honestly, until I started Shakeology I couldn't get those cravings under control. Try the chocolate shakes, they work wonders!!0

Haha! Someone beat me to it!0

i converted to dark chocoalte. i find i can eat a piece or 2 of dark chocolate and stop, it is actually more satisfying and not so more-ish, with milk chocolate, i just can't stop until there is none left in the house.
i eat a chocolate bar (45g nestle club) every saturday night as my treat... it keeps me sane... i love it, why should i deny myself? i work hard for it, and it's not excessive, i go to the gym 4-5 times a week, and it gives me something to look forward to. otherwise, i could go without chocolate for 6 months, and then when i crash, i crash hard, and it's not pretty, i go on a bender that lasts for a couple of years, and all my hard work is undone!0 -
