what do u use to get over your chocolate cravings?

I measure out a tablespoon or two of hershey's special dark chocolate chips and nibble on them during the day. Sometimes, I mix almonds or walnuts with them. It seems to fill me up and satisfy my craving.

I bought an 8 oz. bag of plain M & Ms yesterday, came home and divided them into eight-1oz. portions in snack size Ziploc bags. I know I feel deprived if I can't have chocolate, but this helps me keep it in moderation.

Do you like the Fiber One Brownies??? They are SO good, and 90 calories!! Be careful not too eat a few though. The fiber can upset your tummy, so stick to one

My treat for the day, the very last thing I eat every day, one dark chocolate carmel with sea salt Dove Promise. 37 calories. I let it melt in my mouth and savor it as long as possible.

MNmarguerite, that makes perfect sense to me. Just having it around helps me too, doesn't mean I eat it though. A bag of Dove lasts me almost three weeks, and I log it in faithfully.

Um, I use chocolate to get over the craving.

I like the 40 calorie fudge-sicle pops....no sugar added.....:flowerforyou:

It goes like this for me :

I **want** chocolate.

But chocolate is bad... so I drink 2 iced coffes ( 300 calores ), have some peanut butter ( 100 calories ), have a few crackers dipped in nutella ( 300 calories )....

Or I can have a few hershey kisses ( 100 calories ).


When I want chocolate , I eat chocolate. Nothing else will do.

This....only this!!! :-)

CHOCOLATE FLAVORED PROTEIN POWDER. seriously, its healthy for you! mix some in your yogurt, drizzle it over your cereal, add it with milk or dip a banana in it. so good.

or you can try buying a yankee candle called WHOOPIE PIE which is a chocolate scented candle and maybe that might help...i read it in a magazine that smelling chocolate (or even vanilla) scents can stave off cravings. sometimes when i crave sweets i spray myself with victorias secret CANDY BABY perfume and am so lightheaded by the sweet smell i dont even need the candy!:flowerforyou:

York peppermint patties! I love those things and I eat one (snack size) just about every day. Or sometimes Cadbury dark chocolate or Three Musketeers fun size. Allowing myself one most days satisfies and keeps me from getting a raging craving later on.

Best thing I've found thus far:

So creamy and tastes like milk chocolate. One tablespoon is 35 calories. I put them in oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese.

From what im told...you dont have to cut it out... just have to limit it... down to a size that will just satisfy your taste buds... and im pretty sure a glass of water will ease the hunger pain

I use chocolate calcium chews and it does the trick for me for the most part.

i eat about 10-12 chocolate chips (dark chocolate preferred) with about 5-7 dry roasted unsalted almonds. tastes like indulgent trail mix! you get your chocolate fix, healthy fat, and even some protein. boom! problem solved!

Chocolate Shakeology gets me over my chocolate and ice cream cravings and gives me super foods, amino acids, protein and a full day's worth of veggies, stamina, energy and is all natural and no refined sugar. And a square of dark chocolate (at least 60% cacao) per day...

*good* chocolate curbs a craving in a much smaller portion that cheap hershey's chocolate. That's my suggestion, however, I'm not actually into most chocolates so my cravings are few and far between and never very strong.
