Dear Ladies,

Please tell me what you do about those menstrual cravings?! Is there like some healthy chocolate I can eat?!

    The darker the chocolate the better it is for you. What I always try to do is keep it in the freezer. Take out one serving size then it won't be staring you in the face.

    sugar free gum really helps me - it's gotta be minty.

    I also put a scoop of cacao powder in my protein shake (post workout) DEFINITELY curbs chocolate cravings

    Skinny Cow ice cream! I love the chocolate fudge ice cream cones. It's not exactly "healthy" for you, but it's only 150 calories.

    Maybe I'm weird, but I just eat the chocolate..... I make chocolate cake mix cookies once a month "for the kids" and have one. It curbs my chocolate craving, and no i do not feel bad about it. Moderation.......

    I Give in :happy:

    Who am I to go against the call of nature? :laugh:



    and my reasoning is: it only happens once a month. If it was once a week, I might be going backwards.
