Oohhh I love some chocolate , whenever I get the craving I just eat a serving of Dark Chocolate. I don't deny it I just limit. Try some dried fruit , naturally sweetened I like prunes they're so good and full of antioxidants,fiber and can definetly curb your craving.0

I eat 2 tbsp of chocolate chips morsels when my cravings are really bad. Although I crave chocolate every day.0

I do not handle cravings very well, so if I have them I eat it until they are satisfied. I am a chocoholic and have found that my every day morning breakfast of slim fast rich chocolate brownie usually keeps me satisfied. When I get the monthly craving increase I bake cookies with my kids and do not worry about the calories for that day. Another thing that is totally bad for me....but usually fixes my cravings in a jiffy is a jar of whipped chocolate icing. As much as I love it, it is so rich usually one spoon full gets me thru the craving, I am not a person that believes a diet includes cutting everything I love out of it. You only live once!! The next day I usually run an extra mile to get rid of the guilt. As long as I promise myself that I will work off the extra calories I never have an issue with gaining the weight back.
Good Luck!0 -
I LOVE chocolate. I have a bag of hershey chocolate bliss in my fridge. (dark chocolate) I eat at least one or two each day and have lost 50 pounds since feb. I dont even like regular chocolate any longer. I think you can fill that craving just do it with good chocolate and in small amounts.0

Mine is chocolate and beef during that time. I usually get the cravings so bad that I drive everyone around me crazy.
To fix it I usually get a serving of the dove dark chocolate and I'm in heaven for the rest of the day. For the beef I generally eat a lean steak and do a little happy dance.:flowerforyou:0 -
I alternate salty/chocolate cravings. Torture is there's a shop across the street from where I work that makes my perfect "craving" food - chocolate covered potato chips. Will take the back stairs when leaving so I'm not even tempted!0

Well, the good news is that dark chocolate is particularly high in iron, and you require additional iron at that TOTM, so...EAT UP0

When I get the cravings I have to have something sweet or I will drive myself and my husband crazy. I found this tea by Celestial Seasoning called English toffee it is so good I add just a hint of splenda after its brewed and it is like drinking heaven. I keep some 100 calorie keebler cookies on hand for when its really bad and I dunk them in my yummy tea. Its so good and only 100 calories to boot.0
