-cravings!!-

[princess_21]

Personally, the only thing I really ever have trouble dealing with is my CHOCOLATE cravings! (maybe b/c I'm a girl!)

I am still searching for a way to deal with it cause right now I feel like I'm a drug addict with it and it's SO hard to resist!

What do you crave and how do you deal with it?

I crave carbs in General... I get rid of the crabing by carb-loading once every 3 days... then I am fed up of carbs for 3 days!!!

My downfall is chocolate too. The way I deal with it is focus on my goals and picture the end result of my hard work. Chocolate is yummy, but won't help me get there quicker and to me it's not worth it.

Some people (especially women) have chocolate cravings because their body needs magnesium (or other mineral that chocolate provides)

it seems like for me i crave sugar in general, i'm not sure why. its like if i have anything sweet, i have an insatiable appetite the rest of the day and i'll have a hugely overwhelming urge to eat more and more sweets. that fat free cheesecake recipe of MrX's really helps a lot sometimes lol.

Try chocolate protein shakes. Add a tad of instant coffee or instant espresso to the shake for a "mocha latte" flavor.

For chocolate cravings -- buy a bar/brick/block of High-Quality rich chocolate. Special Dark flavor is best for the anti-oxidants. If you're having a several-day period of cravings -- eat 1 block of chocolate per day. Eat it at a time where you can savor it. And make sure it's quite High-quality chocolate -- cuz you can have 1 small piece without doing damage to your diet and the flavor will be so intense that it will really satisfy those chocolate cravings.
