I'm obsessed with chocolate any ideas as to what would help curb cravings for chocolate or something that you found helped you replace chocolate?

    If I'm low on calories I'll have a sugar free fudge-sicle (40 calories) or a "diet" hot chocolate (25 calories) in the winter. But I also eat regular old chocolate cake and candy bars so... Meh. Make it fit.

    Better chocolate. Seriously. Nothing quenches my craving for chocolate than one square of high cocoa chocolate rather than a full bar of crappy Hershey's or something.

    Sometimes I feel like I live off of sugar free Popsicles (15 calories!!) and fudgesicles. It does the trick when im feeling snacky, and stops me from overeating other food. Sweet and takes a while to eat.

    This. When I try moderation, I go for a single serving of something really good and high quality. (Even if it is more expensive.)

    I keep Dove dark chocolate squares on hand. They are really good and a couple of them satisfies my chocolate craving. Nothing beats having the real thing.

    A quest bar is a protein bar basically right?

    Dark chocolate is actually good for you. Unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate pb2. Sugar free chocolate pudding

    Interestingly, I wasn't a big chocolate eater until I lost wait. Now I crave it constantly. So I eat a lot of chocolate now...chocolate covered nuts, chocolate squares, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate ice cream, chocolate frozen yogurt ....

    Yogi Mayan Cocoa Spice Tea with milk & sugar

    "Splurge" on the diet hot chocolate, find one that's at least 50 calories. The 25 calorie one looks like a science experiment.....it never mixes together (just weird).

    I like chocolate PB2 mixed in vanilla Greek yogurt.

    Chocolate shredded wheat is good too.

    Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares. These babies are individually wrapped. More chocolate ...... less sugar.

    I refuse to curb or restrict chocolate. As far as I'm concerned, I don't see the point in "artificially" restricting certain foods. Then again, I go for very dark (70% or better cocoa) so the higher fiber content mitigates carb/fat load
