    I have tried in the past ~ "2 hersheys kisses" melted with a tsp of peanut butter spread on a graham cracker and VOILA! Reminds me of reeses peanut butter cups... Not really, but does the trick!...LOL

    I don't ignore cravings...seems to make it worse. For chocolate my favorite treat is a serving of Cocoa Puffs cereal (no milk!)

    If I get a chocolate craving, I have a small, individually wrapped piece of dark chocolate. It's rich, and a small piece satisfies my craving. I also eat fruit instead when I get sweets cravings, so I can train my body to start craving the right kinds of sugars.

    These are the things I eat to satisfy my chocolate cravings: a piece of dark chocolate, skinny cow chocolate candies (110-120cals), chocolate vitatops (100cals), Jello sugar free chocolate pudding (60 cals), emerald's cocoa roasted almonds (100 calorie packs), or 90 calorie chocolate flavored fiber one bars.

    If you do end up giving in and eating a huge candy bar, just get an extra workout in :)

    Hope this helps!


    ^^ THIS!!! those jello packs are amazing, the mousse ones. 60 cals, no sugar. skinny cow also makes low fat fudge ice cream pops, i believe they are 45 cals each! I get chocolate cravings sooo bad and they hit the spot!

    i have read that chocolate cravings are an indication that you need magnesium, and you should eat some raw almonds. A really good combination would be a small square or two of dark chocolate, which has antioxidants, and a handful of raw almonds - could satisfy the sweet tooth and the craving in a somewhat healthy fashion!

    I started taking Magnesium about a month ago, and quite frankly, I don't crave anything any more. I'm not saying it's the magnesium only, I've switched to a cleaner diet all around and removed all added sugars, but I'm sure it has helped!

    Before starting Magnesium (as I just realized I've not even thought of this for a while) I would take 1/2 to 1 cup Fage total 0 yogurt and mix in 2 to 3 TBS cocoa powder and a few drops of stevia. It's rich and creamy, full of protein, has some fiber and tastes great! Sometimes I have added blueberries or banana, and sometimes I would stick it in the freezer. YUMMY!

    I agree skinny cow products rock!!!! Also try gum when the cravings hit. I have a shelf with several different flavors of gum. I really like the mint chocolate flavor. I thought It would be nasty but I really like it. I have to hide it from my kids.

    I love the weight watchers giant fudge bars, they satisfy my chocolate and icecream craving, it's about 110 calories per bar. I used to be a chocoholic but now I don't really crave that or any sweets that much anymore.

    You don't have to give up chocolate.....You can still have it but just use portion control :wink:

    When I have the chocolate cravings I sometimes have a Reese's - Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures, 1 pieces - 44 calories or a Dove dark chocolate promises, 1 pieces - 42 calories.

    I never used to like dark chocolate and was always a milk chocolate fan but when I heard that dark chocolate was better for you, I decided to try it and believe it or not, I like it better than milk chocolate now :noway:

    I am a chocoholic (yet to find a good group and 12 step program) I just discovered nutella which has helped me IMMENSELY. Also good vitamins, and hersheys lite syrup which has 45 calories in 2 tbs and is pretty good. Nescafe makes a 20 calorie coca which is also yummy!
