  • If you're craving chocolate regularly, you may be low in magnesium. I was a chocolate addict before I started taking magnesium daily (250 - 1000 mg/day). Now, I only eat a piece once in a while and I can stop at just one or two pieces. Americans are often low in magnesium which also can help your bowel movements. You'll…

  • An orange, or a piece of dark chocolate, or a Healthy Oatmeal Bite, etc. However, I've noticed as I've reduced the amount of sugar in my diet (NOT substituted with fake sugar) that I crave sweets less and less.

  • Did they say a pound of muscle weights more than an pound of fat? If not, you're adding things in your head and that's why you get peeved. It is understood (for most people) that we mean volume.

  • One of the reasons women tend to crave chocolate is that we also tend to be lacking in magnesium. Chocolate is very high in magnesium. It won't stop the cravings entirely, but it can take some of the edge off. And make sure you have plenty of low calorie snacks ready to grab before the cravings hit you. And pay attention…

You especially need…

  • It matters which fruit you eat. Try to eat the ones that are low glycemic like cherries instead of a banana. Also, if you have it with a little fat, that will slow the digestion and won't raise your blood sugars so fast (banana and peanut butter, apple and cheddar cheese, strawberries and milk/cream)
