HELP! I'm addicted!

Try Blue Diamond's Oven Roasted Almonds - Dark Chocolate Flavor. It's filling and since I started snacking on these, I don't crave candy bars as much.

Tabitha, eat the chocolate! Just don't eat so much, buy the treat size bars or break big bars into smaller pieces and wrap them up. Chocolate is a great thing and the dark, cocoa rich varieties are actually quite good for you in moderation.

Everything said above...Those almonds are the BEST!!! I love them! And there's chocolate whey protein powder that gives you 80 cals and 18 grams of protein!! Maybe mixed with a little chocolate frozen yogurt?

GIRL! You know you can have all of this...in moderation!

I eat ice cream almost EVERY DAY!! :laugh:

Raisinettes are pretty low-cal

Trader Joe's has good milk chocolate mini bars and they are only 100 cals!

^^THIS! Also, in regards to raisinettes, the dark chocolate ones are SOOOO good and help with those cravings.

I don't eat diet food & I love sweets, especially chocolates. I plan them into my meals. Easy ones are FAGE 0% greek yogurt + 1 tsp of cocoa powder+1 tbsp nut butter of choice ( I used almond) + 1 stevia packet. Mix then pop in the freezer for 20 mins.

Another is cupcake in a mug.

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons flax flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Stevia
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
2-3 drops vanilla extract

MIx in a mug then microwave for between 3 -5 min. Optional: put a caramel in the center, Hershey's kiss in the middle, or a mini Reeces peanut butter cup in the center.

It's just enough to satisfy the chocolate craving

Chocolate protein powder. I mix it with 8 oz milk and 6-8 ice cubes. Yummy. Try it with cinnamon or peanut butter (creamy is best). I get my protein and chocolate fix all in one, it's win-win, and the protein keeps me from binging.
Good luck and have fun trying out new things. I have to keep telling myself that being healthy is a lifestyle change made one step at a time.

SKINNY COW ICE CREAM LOW FAT BUT DOES NOT TASTE LIKE IT!

NOW organic non blanched almonds are amazing!

We make our own ice cream so we can keep the calories down.

Here's something that might help you to stay away from it. Theobromine, which is a compound found in chocolate or cacao is actually a neurotoxin. Try to replace your chocolate with carob.

Here is a video to watch. I am in the same boat when it comes to chocolate.

I love the Fiber One Chewy Protein bars. The Caramel Nut one is like a candy bar, but with tons of fiber and protein and it is 130 calories. All things in moderation.

Ladies and gentlemen...

My name is Tabitha and I am a chocoholic. And an ice creamoholic. I can't help it. Share some taste bud satisfying, low calorie treats? Yes... I need the chocolate.

I have just the thing for you!
choco-banana ice cream!

slice 1 banana
placed sliced banana in freezer for atleast an hour
remove sliced banana from freezer and put into food processor
it will take about 2 minutes forthe banana to turn to a creamy goodness!
once it reaches that consistency add cocoa powder and mix for another 3 pulses
if you like nut butters, add your favorite nut butter or other treats (nuts, other fruit, honey) and pulse untilwell mixed

its amazing. it has the same consistency of ice cream and budget friendly, paleo friendly, low sugar, etc. amazing!!!!

btw, if you dont have a food processor. buy one now, best $30 you will ever spend. for reals.

Make your own sweet treats using healthy organic ingrediants like raw honey, coconut butter, dark chocolate, almond butter, coconut milk ice cream (skip the dairy!). you can lose weight by eating as much as you want without counting fat or calories if you focus on quality (real food) instead of quantity (processed junk foods that claim to be healthy because they are low fat or low cal). I just got finished with sweet n salty dark choc almonds...don't give up your chocolate if it makes u happy :-)

I love chocolate too. I find that the my fitness pal app keeps me totally honest! It is just a matter of juggling your daily caloric intake appropriately. I choose to satisfy my chocolate cravings with a couple of squares of 85% cocoa chocolate, it packs a BIG chocolate hit in 100 calories. It doesn't pack a big sugar hit as it's mostly cocoa!

I find that once I am on the sugar and cream/fat train, it can be difficult to get off.

I have personally adopted the 5:2 diet http://thefastdiet.co.uk/ over the past three months. I know not everybody likes it & it's my own personal choice. I find that one benefit that it provides me with is to turn off my "give me sugar" switch. A day with 500 calories really turns your appetite around. The 5:2 is definitely only for non pregnant adults who are otherwise healthy (see website). The 5:2 also goes against the "meet your calorie limit" for the day mantra of myfitnesspal, which I respect and has provided me with great benefits since the start of 2012. I now aim to meet my caloric intake target for the week rather than each day. The 5:2 diet is not a "eat whatever you feel like" on your non-fast days diet, but it does give you a bit more leeway on your non-fast days to treat yourself "a little". I repeat that I am not recommending this for you personally, just trying to give you some insight into how it has helped me a little.

Good luck with your weight loss and fitness goals whatever method you adopt. I hope you manage to keep some rewards and treats for yourself in your plan while meeting your targets.
