    That's quite a broad question. What's your diet like as a whole? There is room for chocolate in a healthy diet, if it's well-balanced and you are getting in all the nutrients you need.

    Start eating dark chocolate. I went from 70% to 85% to 90% cacao. It is extremely healthy for you. A superfood in fact. I eat lindt and have half a serving every day.

    All of my meals are healthy but I snack during the day on chocolate...

    This is going to sound trite. Portion Control.

    I think you should look more at your motivations beyond just I love to eat. Why do you love to eat? Is it for comfort? Is it because you are bored? I would have never believed that I ate because I was bored until one day after I started watching my food intake, I didn't have really much to do and I really got a hankering for a cookie. Then it hit me...

    I have had to learn to enjoy my food. I am trying to eat slower. (A real challenge. I was raised ina family of seven kids and if you wanted seconds you better get done before everyone else.) And I am trying to find joy in my food. To really love what I eat, and to see certain foods as a reward for doing everything else right. Many a night I have a chocolate dipped shortbread cookie. (Oh it is so good) If I worked out that day hard and help to my diet I reward myself with one. And I eat it slow. One little cookie and it takes me six bited to eat, because I want to savor every bite.

    For more research I would seriously look into mindful eating. (I'm no expert but I'm trying.)

    Here's two links about it. (I'm not affiliated with either. I just looked them up today. I learned this from a class.)

    Tblsp and a half of natural peanut butter
    Tblsp and a half of unsweetened cacao powder
    tsp of raw honey or packet of stevia


    put those together in a small little bowl or container and add dashes of warm water till it becomes spreadable and use on toast, in wraps or on top of oatmeal.

    I eat chocolate frequently.

    This morning I had dark chocolate peanut butter oats for breakfast.

    Yesterday I had 2 squares of Ghirardelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree.

    Keep your serving sizes in check and there's no reason not to enjoy chocolate if you want to.

    Cocoa roast almonds are a good chocolate fix. Or you could use chocolate protein powder. It's good mixed with milk (reg, almond, soy, coconut, whatever your preference) or in a smoothie with oats and pb.

    Dark chocolate covered almonds are my friend. A few in the evening with a coffee sort out my cravings and not too bad on the cals.

    I have a crazy sweet tooth, im the kinda person if there is chocolate in the house i cant not eat it, it really bugs my flat mate. lol.

    Up your protein intake and it seriously reduces your sugar cravings. Only thing that has worked for me so far, and i had tried alot.

    hope that helps
