You can have my chocolate when you pry it from my COLD, DEAD HANDS.
I bought a very small square dish, the kind you use in sushi places, about an inch and a half square and maybe a half inch deep. I fill that bowl with extra-dark chocolate chips (Ghirardelli, usually), and pour myself a 2-ounce jigger of whiskey or a 5-ounce pour of decent red wine. This is my dessert most nights. I save the calories for it, and I eat the chocolate chips one at a time with a teeny sip from my drink between chips.
Usually takes me about an hour to go through my little bowl of chocolate chips, and at 5 calories each (yes, I calculated it) I can afford a good number of them most days. :drinker:0 -
Special K chocolatey delight cereal. High fiber, so you feel full quicker, and it has little pieces of REAL chocolate in it. I eat this every day almost.0

This is exactly how I eat my chocolate cheerios or chocolate KRAVE cereal. One piece at a time and savor the HECK out of it!0 -
I don't know if this is true, but I have heard that craving chocolate is a sign of magnesium deficiency.0

I'm the same! I have one piece of frozen dark chocolate at the end of the day, but if I eat it at any other time in the day its all downhill from there.
I find coffee and chai tea kill the craving. A little bit of cream in the coffee and half a teaspoon of sugar in a big mug of chai (the kind made from teabags, not syrup!) works pretty well. They give me that bitter/creamy/sweet balance I love from good chocolate.0 -
A cup of Diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate. Only 25 calories!0

Emerald Chocolate Dusted Almonds. Delicious!!!! I usually have 1/2 serving - approx 14 almonds at 75 calories! Takes the craving away for me.
I just bought these the other day! They are yummy and good for you! :bigsmile:0 -
I like chocolate too
What I do is I take a Ryvita crispbread with 1 tsp of chocolate chips and it helps with my craving.0 -
Freeze a dark chocolate bar. I like the endangered species dark chocolate with raspberries, then snap off a piece or they also have little snack ones, so does trader joes (100 calorie snack treats). But I freeze it so its out of sight out of mind and I find that when its frozen I eat it slower and the more I can savor it.0

Peanutbutter? Not much better....Sun Chips..still not much better. Oh I got it! Just have a little of your favorite kind?0

2 squares of Ghiradelli's 60% dark chocolate is the ticket for me0

magnesium citrate helped calm my chocolate cravings0

I order chocolate mint rooibos tea. Zero calories. I have a large cup every night in which I add one packet sweetener and a little chocolate redi-whip (15 calories per serving). It's wonderful both hot or over ice and occasionally I'll spike it it with a shot of vodka. The tea satisfies my chocolate craving for the day.0

That's really interesting. I love chocolate. The chocolate covered grahams are good and not too high in calories.0

get some sugar free hot cocoa. Or sugar free chocolate milk stuff. They have sugar free chocolate candy too.0

I don't really crave chocolate, but I find the Fibre One bars are very sweet.
Also, what about a fat free chocolate pudding? dessert type yogurt?
Those fibre one brownies sound yummy..
There is 100 cal chocolate bars.
ohhhh what about freezing a chocolate pudding so you eat it slower?0 -
Sorry, but nothing beats chocolate. There is no substitute. i just save some calories for it and keep it to one serving.
This is what I do.0 -

^^This.
Nothing can give me the same taste as chocolate. I try and have it only when i have a really strong craving, like a TOTM craving, otherwise i try a low cal hot choc.
Oh, and i too think carob sucks! Its like sawdust and leave a horrid aftertaste.0 -
Fiber One Brownies or 4 Hershey Kisses will kill my cravings But generally I leave enough room in my calories so that I can indulge when I want to!!0
