Chocolate fix???

Dreamer366 profile image

Okay, so I'm doing more exercise and counting my calories and I'm doing all right.

I'm 'good' all day. Settle down for the evening. Then at some point, I don't know why, can't even predict precisely when, I crash, I just crave something sweet, generally chocolate, and it just won't go away until I give into it!! :(

Please help!

Try leaving something in your calorie count for a small 'treat' at the end of the day perhaps ? I generally have a kitkat every evening after dinner - it's something I really look forward to as a reward for being 'good' :-)

I do exactly what Lucca has suggested. I buy fun size bars of choc or kitkats or Dairy milk mini bars and have one a day - it really helps.

If you really want to avoid the calories then the age old favourite is sugar free jelly.

Good luck :)

Well I get spasms of wanting chocolate, what helps me is to have something I enjoy even more.. Not sure if it's good for me..I have half a cup of a carton of tomatoes or veg juice from the fridge, with maybe a cheese biscuit and sip this juice through the the evening and then I don't even want a chocolate.. Cos although I like to have some chocolate in the fridge if I look forward o the juice I leave the chocolate alone😉

When I get like this, I have a special K biscuit (98 cal for 2), they have 4 different flavours. Or i have sugar free polos to curb the craving. Also options hot chocolate is only 40 cals a cup :) good luck!

I have a square of 70% dark chocolate broken up into small pieces every evening. I just let the chocolate dissolve slowly in my mouth. It is a really intense chocolate hit and I don't find I want to eat the whole bar, which I would if I had a bag of fun size milk chocolate around.

put a small piece of chocolate in the freezer! When you want it just take a piece out and suck it for ages. Usually helps to not eat so much of it because it lasts a lot longer. BTW you can do this with grapes :-)

You could also try an options chocolate drink, it's not the same but it does help.

For a high sugar hit try sharon fruit or persimmon. It's really worked for me. I have also started keeping cooked beetroot in the fridge and having one when I need a hit.
