    It is okay to eat chocolate when you have a craving, I do it sometimes. I will either have a piece of dark chocolate or I eat a fiber one oats and chocolate bar and occasionally a tablespoon of Nutella.

    I eat one square of Lindt 90% dark chocolate.

    Or I stir a scoop of chocolate protein powder (in my case, the cleanish MRM egg white) into greek yogurt. Yum, like pudding.

    Or I make hot chocolate with coconut milk, unsweetened cocoa and stevia.

    When I crave chocolate, I eat chocolate lol!

    But I get really strong dark chocolate. A small piece of that is all I need.

    I have a cup of chai tea with a little bit of milk a sugar (more recently, with vanilla almond milk, yumm)... sometimes my craving for chocolate is actually a crazing for sweet and creamy and this fits the bill.

    If that doesn't work, a square of dark chocolate, eaten very very slowly.

    Fruit

    Not to be rude but if you ever find a fruit that can cure a chocolate craving please let me know!!

    Fruit dipped in Chocolate? :bigsmile:

    Seriously, I dip some fruit (usually fresh pineapple or strawberries) in some melted chocolate or, if I'm really desperate, a tbsp of chocolate syrup or hot fudge. I don't like straight up chocolate (weird I know) but I love chocolate cake. I can't keep it around or I don't stop. I might have a piece of cake once a month but it has to be really really good cake.

    I was getting to where I wanted chocolate every day so I decided to take a week off of sweets and now I don't feel like I have to have it any more. It can be in the house and I won't eat it just because it's there. Now if I want some chocolate, then I eat a little but I feel like I'm really in controle of how much I ete. Plus like somebody else said, I eat it slow and really let the taste of it sink in and then I can enjoy it as long or longer than I did when I was eating a lot more of it. Good luck!

    It seems like the one thing I cannot get away from is chocolate. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the sugar, but I very specifically crave chocolate. Is there something else I can eat that will at least curb my craving but won't use up all my calories?

    Eat some chocolate, if you lack the will power to eat it in moderation get those single serving squares or something like that

    ^^^ This!!

    If you're craving chocolate, have some chocolate. To deny yourself could lead to a binge! Try Dove Promises. They're individually wrapped bites of heaven.....each one is 42 cals and 2.6g of fat (for the dark chocolate, which is my fave). Dove Chocolate also has a sugar free line....I"m not sure what they sub the sugar with...I have never tried them or looked to see. Hope you can find a way to curb your craving :)

    Just eat the chocolate... not all the chocolate though. Don't go over your clas first of all. Second, don't finish what's there. Have a taste, I find it'll tide me over for a few days.

    Oh and sometimes a glass of good chocolate milk helps with the craving too.

    When I crave chocolate, I eat chocolate. Eat dark if you can, and buy portioned chocolate (like those squares) if you have trouble with control. If it's a conscience issue, you can always buy fair trade.

    I keep m&m's at home. I eat a few and walk away. Sometimes just having a few will chill out my craving and I can move on.
