Any ideas to fight an urge for chocolate? Is there a low carb substitue?

Re: Chocolate
I wish. The world would be perfect if there was.
The first thing to consider is why do you crave chocolate. Maybe your body is telling you you need certain minerals. I would try a magnesium supplement. Taking a bit of magnesium is great when you are low carbing.
Cocoa powder is allowed on rung 3 - so there is relief just around the corner.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: Chocolate
Somewhere on this board (and I don't have any idea where.. it was an older post)... it says that cocoa powder can be considered a spice. Mix a little cocoa powder, a packet of Splenda and an ounce of cream cheese. Let set in the fridge or freezer until firm and enjoy like a piece of fudge.
Of course, don't do it often and be sure and count the carbs in the cocoa and Splenda.
Enjoy!Comment

Re: Chocolate
I was thinking you could add the Walden Farms syrup or Coccoa powder with splenda to Heavy cream!Erica, 30, Female, 5'5"
