How I deal with chocolate cravings

MaryKatU

For some reason when I am craving chocolate, I have a tablespoon of peanut butter and it kills the craving. I don't know if it is just me but I thought I should pass the tip along incase it can help any of you that crave chocolate.

thanks for sharing ... I m a big chocolate lover , especially black chocolate what I do when I m craving chocolate is also to eat cacao beans or simply eat some cocoa with milk and a tablespoon of honey ... that helps too ) ... and is not so much cheating

I don't shy away from chocolate. It's good for you as long as it's dark and in moderation.

I eat at least 70-85% dark and a half a serving with a dollop of peanut butter or a 1/2 oz of nuts makes me feel like I'm eating a candy bar!

Agree....at 100 calories for a tablespoon of peanut butter why not just have the equivalent calories in chocolate?

Yes, my cousin told me that eating nuts kills the chocolate craving for some reason...hmmm, i'll take the chocolate :-D

I keep a bowl of Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets with almonds on the counter. If I have a chocolate craving, one will do the trick!

Peanut butter works for me with any sweet craving. Also when it just has to be chocolate I will indulge in 1/2 of a Mint 3 Musketeers bar. It's only 75 calories, low in fat and very satisfying.

I've tried this. I love peanut better. Bought some a while ago to have for snacks on days when I was having trouble reaching my calorie goal.

Ended up eating the whole jar. . .

I have no self control.

i make a nice cup of coffee. i have a keurig and can make lots of flavoured coffee fast. a packet of sweetner and i have all the sweetness and caffeine i need that my body craves for chocolate.

or a bite of a really dark chocolate. i only need a tiny bit because its bitter. but definately kills the craving.

I find if I avoid a craving I over do other foods. So I nibble and enjoy the chocolate I do have. Sometimes I go overboard, but I am working on that. :happy:
