what do u use to get over your chocolate cravings?

Nothing. When I crave chocolate, I have 3 squares of Cadbury dairy milk and put the rest away (out of sight). I don't feel deprived and I don't overdo it.

nutella's ingredient list is crappy, try switching to Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams or Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter.

*steps off soap box and skulks away*

I have either: 1) a spoonful of cold coconut oil (hardens in fridge and has the texture of chocolate with a rich flavor), or 2) dark chocolate chips or 3) coco nibs from Whole Foods.

For a splurge, I have a So Delicious Coconut milk dark chocolate covered icecream bar. Healthier version of an icecream bar but it is 150 cals so don't have too many!

Fiber One 90 Calorie chewy bars. They have just chocolate, but I prefer the chocolate/peanut butter.

non fat greek yogurt mixed with hershey's unsweetened cocoa power, and truvia.

Chocolate mint vita tops muffins. Walmart. Frozen by the waffles.

Eaten in moderation (meaning one every couple days), the vita tops chocolate muffin tops tastes pretty good for 100 calories...they now have vita tops mini fudge cakes for only 50 calories. They also have a banana chocolate chip version. They are a bit expensive and come frozen (either in your local store or on the web- my grocery just ahd them buy one get one so I bought a bunch cuz usually it seems pricey to me)...You can microwave them for about 30 seconds and the chips melt...Granted its not as good as something from the bakery but it does satisfy..just make sure you don't then splurge and eat 4 of them.

I recently was told about Quest Nutrition Bars which Ive found to be a great protein bar made with few ingredients, chewy texture and most have only 170 calories (up to 200) with 20 grams of protein, and 17 grams of fiber with only a couple grams of sugar. Unlike other bars they don't have a chalky texture and don't have tons of sugar like a candy bar. They have a chocolate brownie and a chocolate peanut butter flavor which you might want to try...They also have other really good flavors like coconut cashew, apple pie, lemon, cinnamon roll, peanut butter supreme, peanut butter and jelly, mixed berry. Ive read so many positive reviews on these that Im gonna try these regularly.

I also sometimes use the sugar free chocolate Jello pudding cups only 60 calories and no sugar. Get a good chocolate fix and its portion controlled...Thats the impotent thing for me...Also sometimes HC fudge bars for under 100 calories.

Ive also tried the Breyers Carb Free chocolate ice cream for an occasional treat (add a vita top to it and you have a decadent treat for under 300 calories if you measure the appropriate serving sizes) Again don't try these if you can't stick to measuring out portions and sticking to it.

Also Ive tried Chocolate Lite Soy Milk - I can't remember the brand right now (but its not refrigerated in the store- I think its Soy Slender) and another thing Ive tried is the EAS Carb lite chocolate shake which come in a 4-pack next to the protein drinks and are 110 calories with 17grams protein. It definitely doesnt taste diet- its nice and creamy like a thicker chocolate milk. The other thing I use is buy a good chocolate flavored protein powder- mix it in with soy milk or EAS and you'll get a good chocolate treat or meal substitute. I think Im actually gonna make one now for a filling dinner substitute. The important thing is to buy one ofthose shaker bottles..Just pour everything in and shake it up - no blender needed and it all is smooth and creamy.

Ive been using these things and they definitely solve my chocolate cravings


Hope these suggestions help you out.

One last thought - but its important to have portion control- Peanut Butter & Company has a chocolate peanut butter flavor- maybe on occasion, take a tablespoon and eat it with an apple or banana or a rice cake. Its also very decadent so you have to mind portions so you don't just sit there with a spoon and eat the whole product as its definitely not a diet product

I still eat chocolate but just 1 or 2 pieces.

Weight Watchers - Dark Raspberry Ice Cream Bars. Yummm! 80 calories. Delicious. Takes care of my chocolate and ice cream cravings together. I have 1 religiously after every work out. I really should buy stock....
I tried 90% dark chocolate before... it tasted so bad that I didn't want to eat any. So I guess that helped?

Every night:

Night snack
Berry Hill Natural - Peanut Butter, 1 tablespoon 90 cal
Moser-Roth - 70% Dark Chocolate Bar, 1 pieces (bars) 155 cal


I've lost 82 lbs this year and (dr. verified) I'm health as a horse. This is my treat for doing everything else right. :happy:

I buy Snackpack pudding cups. 60 calories

I use chocolate but rather than going nuts like I used to I stop at one piece.

A low calorie fudgsicle (Popsicle brand has a no sugar added one for 40 calories). They are great especially in the summer!

I throw a serving of Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered almonds or berries into my lunch to snack on at work or have a small handful after dinner sometimes The 73% cocoa almonds or the dark chocolate power berries are my favorites! You have to eat foods you love, just pick healthier options and watch your portions!
