I've been trying to cut out candy and desserts from my diet but I've been suffering from chocolate cravings. Does anyone have any healthy substitutes for chocolate for me? Or any tips to help my cravings?

    I love chocolate so I'm not going to cut it out of my diet however the only chocolate I eat now is the Atkins Endulge bar and I cut them in half. It's only 68.5 cal and satisfies my chocolate cravings.

    You could have a few squares of dark chocolate (>70% and low in sugar). You may not like it at first, I didn't really either, but once you get used to the lower sugar it's quite tasty.

    I keep some Hershey kisses in the bottom of the fridge... I'm still getting chocolate, but at 22 calories each I can suck on 2-3 when I need a fix and not bust the budget.

    Well, it's not a non-fat option, but I keep the Russell Stover sugar free chocolates in the house for when I want something choclatey. They are really yummy- made with splenda, but you can hardly tell the difference. My favorite are the buttercream caramels. I have one and I am pretty satisfied.

    If I feel like having chocolate, I do. Then I just add it to my calorie count. Easy.:smile:

    ^^ This! Satisfies my chocolate cravings, and fits into my goals. I like to dip it in peanut butter, or eat it with some raw almonds. Good stuff.

    I buy snack size bags of Cadbury buttons or magic stars. They're less than 75 calories and tend to satisfy my cravings. Or I buy a box of Chocolate Orange Segsations - they're 44 calories each and really really good. I've had my current box since Christmas. Chocolate mousses are also good - Aldi do 4 for 45p and they're like 97 calories.

    I drink two cups of chocolate milk every day, and often have Oikos nonfat chocolate Greek Yogurt. I've tried just about every fake chocolate ice cream out there, and this is the only one that tastes good to me.

    I also try to work in an occasional Snickers egg or a couple of Oreos. Just work out a little longer than usual, and cut back a little on the fat/carbs somewhere else in your day.

    There is never a good reason to deprive yourself of chocolate!

    There's no avoiding chocolate.

    Give in to it. In moderation.

    Skinny cow and weight watchers both make low calorie chocolate treats found in the candy isle. They are super delicious.

    Hey its probably harder to meet that goal if you try to stop eating chocolate all together but maybe gradually reducing chocolate intake will be helpful for you. Also there are healthy sources of chocolate as well such as the chocolate fiber bars. But if you try to stop all together the cravings may be to hard to fight. Good luck!
