For some reason when I am craving chocolate, I have a tablespoon of peanut butter and it kills the craving. I don't know if it is just me but I thought I should pass the tip along incase it can help any of you that crave chocolate.:smile:

    thanks for sharing ... I m a big chocolate lover , especially black chocolate what I do when I m craving chocolate is also to eat cacao beans or simply eat some cocoa with milk and a tablespoon of honey ... that helps too :)) ... and is not so much cheating :D

    I don't shy away from chocolate. It's good for you as long as it's dark and in moderation.

    I eat at least 70-85% dark and a half a serving with a dollop of peanut butter or a 1/2 oz of nuts makes me feel like I'm eating a candy bar!

    Agree....at 100 calories for a tablespoon of peanut butter why not just have the equivalent calories in chocolate?

    I keep a bowl of Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets with almonds on the counter. If I have a chocolate craving, one will do the trick!

    Peanut butter works for me with any sweet craving. Also when it just has to be chocolate I will indulge in 1/2 of a Mint 3 Musketeers bar. It's only 75 calories, low in fat and very satisfying.

    I've tried this. I love peanut better. Bought some a while ago to have for snacks on days when I was having trouble reaching my calorie goal.

    Ended up eating the whole jar. . .

    I have no self control.

    or a bite of a really dark chocolate. i only need a tiny bit because its bitter. but definately kills the craving.

    I find if I avoid a craving I over do other foods. So I nibble and enjoy the chocolate I do have. Sometimes I go overboard, but I am working on that. :happy:
