Always craving chocolate!!

Chocolate is pretty delicious and addictive! I think it's just a type of sugar craving for you. One way to ward those off is to turn to fruit. I've also heard that peppermint can deter sugar cravings also, interestingly enough, so brushing your teeth or chewing on gum can help.

Hi Melbourne from another Aussie.. QLD You didn't say what type of chocolate. If it's milk or white choc please try to adjust to dark chocolate instead. I promise you you will eat less since it satisfies more quickly than the others. If you don't like dark try some that have other things added to it, makes it easier to adjust.

I have chocolate flavored everything. PB w/ chocolate, chocolate protein shake, chocolate protein bars, chocolate ice cream and off course chocolate. Moderation is key, if it helps you have one hershey's kiss after breakfast, lunch and dinner, that's 67 calories total.

I had the very same problem. I substituted chocolate for a low calorie hot chocolate drink. It took the edge off things. I now find that although I still want chocolate from time to time I can now go and stand in front of it but my arms will not reach out to take it off the shelf. This sounds really weird I know, but I just cannot bring myself to buy it any more. I try to exercise my willpower now by standing and looking at it. Willpower needs to be used or we lose that too. Say no to chocolate enough times and it becomes a habit.

have a look at a website called radiant recovery. there is stuff for sale which i wouldn't bother with but there is also a large amount of information about sugar craving which may or may not fit you. I would seriously look into it though. People who are sensitive to sugar are not like those who are not - and the advice for one group is invalid for the other. I would check it out and find out what is best for you

Oh wait, there may have been a translation error here. I thought you meant two squares of a bar of chocolate, not two bars.... Still think it's OK to allow yourself a treat you crave if it fits your diet.

You can buy a thing called cacao powder from most heath food stores.. (google it!) If i'm getting a real chocolate craving I make a hot drink with some cacao powder, almond milk and 1/2 tsp of honey or sugar. Sure, it still has a bit of sugar in it but it's a hell of a lot less than chocolate! And it really does taste chocolatey too, always kicks my cravings!

Eat it.
I have a Dove dark chocolate caramel with sea salt Promise (40 calories) every evening. My reward for staying within my calorie amount for the day. I look forward to this and have been rewarding myself with this small treat everyday since July of 2012. Works for me.

Oh and try to switch your sweet tooth to fruit or nut butters its healthier habit to get yourself into.

I don't know if you will find this helpful or not, but as a fellow chocoholic, you are more than welcome to look through my food diary and see what I eat (as a warning, my last few days have not been that impressive).

Some things I use for cravings:

Orchard Valley makes little single-serve 150 calorie dark chocolate covered almonds.

3/4 cup Cocoa Puffs comes in a 100 calories.

Chobani Flips in Nutty for Nana allow you to dump chocolate into your yogurt at 200 calories pre-portioned.

Hunt's Snack Pack Puddings are 110 calories each.

I eat Cliff Builder's Bars as dessert (Mint Chocolate is the best) on days I don't get enough protein. They are pricey at 270 calories, but worth it, in my opinion.

Dole Banana Dippers in the frozen section are awesome and 100 calories per pre-portioned package.

Ghiradelli makes "mini"s that are teensy weensy and a good way to satisfy a craving quickly at about 40 calories each, depending on the variety.

Talenti Gelato Pops are the most delicious (non-diet) ice cream bars at around 200 calories each.

I also eat Quest bars, but they don't really satisfy cravings for me, unfortunately.

Basically, the theme of most of these: they are pre-portioned. I can't eat "just one more bite" because I would have to open a whole new package.

put unsweetened coco powder and fruit into a blender

I eat dark chocolate. the darker the better, I like it unsweetened evened, chocolate contains proteins and isn't bad for you until you add all the bad stuff to it!! follow the others and eat it but be smart about it and add honey or stevia to cocoa powder and enjoy it with some nut butter or peanut butter

We tie food to emotional responses. If you visualize yourself eating chocolate and you are or course, in a blissful moment, you illicit more of the same. This is why emotional eating exists. You are craving sugar, rather than Chocolate. I recommened fulfilling this desire with having a fraction of that chocolate, or replacing the sweet craving with fruit, until you ween your strong emotion desires to chocolate.

I am also a chocolate fiend! What I do is eat a little bit as a "dessert" after lunch and dinner (my current after meal treat is one lindor truffle or one reese's peanut butter cup). If you're worried about bingeing on it, don't buy in bulk - only buy what you want to eat at that particular moment, like a fun size bar.
