Don't know why but I just want something in my mouth all the time.:rolleyes:
No rude comments now! (Cirrus or Serendipity);):p
I know what you mean, Treacle.
And I can sympathise with you.
But it ain't chocolate!
Savouries are fine, Nuts and Fruits "Mm, I can't get enough at the moment."
But not chocolate.
Or even Cocoa.
Must be my strange blood type!
Regards.
I guess having good quality chocolate (plain/dark is supposed to be better for you) makes it more acceptable 😉
Sounds like a blood sugar imbalance big time to me.
I have to admit, I was craving some chocolate today so I made some from unprocessed ingredients. Since I've been doing this, I seldom eat cooked chocolate now.
In short, unless I make it, I don't eat it.
mckenv
how do you do that then - make your own chocolate?
i gave up smoking 8 years ago, but i just cant stop the chocolate, even after watching jamie oliver the other night, and loads of mckeith type programmes and knowing its really bad! i can eat anything up to around 4 or 5 bars a day on a bad day.
does anyone else have trouble with chocolate?
There's info from no less than founders of Macrobiotic Zen nutrition, who
do know about good and bad food, that the most widespread human
disease is HYPOCLYCAEMIA the main source of depression, bad mood
and more serious things.
They however recommend "natural" sugars in fruits and the like.
A group of substances itself sustaining good mood in cocoa-
in the thread.
Lack of magnesium is also reported as an "epydemia", there's a plenty
in green leaves like salad, you may also buy magnesium sulfate in a
drugstore and mix some 200-400 mg into some magnesium-binding
proteins food: curds? yogurt, this will make it not purgative but
Mg source.

C'mon then, spill the beans How???:rolleyes:
i am so unhappy about my chocolate addition and the resulting weight gain i am going to start counselling again to see if it will help . . . ! fingers crossed.
Hi...i know this is an old thread but lately i got an addition to chocolate too..I any like dark choc, esp frys choc creams...I have put 2stones on since, after xmas and the new year(yes, long time ago now,,lol), but i need to lose the 2st and i will be happier..It is hard in it..Im ok when i dont go out, or if im not going out working, i dont have any, its only when i got out, i tend to get some..Ohhhh.At the mo, i weigh(on Fri) and was 10st 1lb, but would like to get to 9st...
Chocolate...I love it a lot. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate (mmm...), any chocolate!
Though I have never been addicted to it, or anything for that matter. I just can't eat too much. But then the next day...
Hi all,
I aslo love choclates but think that they should be taken in limit. taking lots of choclates would be harmful for health.
I was a chocoholic 😮
Three years ago I agreed to be a subject for a friend who was studying to be a hypnotherapist (he is now qualified and doing very well). I had been one of his case studies so when he told me about his next part of his course I said he would never stop me eating chocolate, I use to love it, but had recently had blood tests as I was a borderline diabetic, therefore the sugar content was affecting my health as well as my mood.
As I had the 'intent' and 'willingness' plus the motivation to stop eating chocolate, which he reinforced with hypnotherapy (took 5 mins!) I haven't eaten chocolate since. It doesnt appeal to me any more and the only way to describe my feelings for chocolate and products with chocolate - is if you imagine all the things in a supermarket you never bother with and never look at and just ignore that's where chocolate sits for me.

You could try sugar-free raw chocolate - its healthier & won't upset your blood sugar levels!

Wow, I'm new to this - just happened to stumble on it, but thought this might be helpful info. I also know I'm way behind on the posts, but if anyone is interested, there is a new "healthy chocolate" coming onto the market in the UK called Xocai. It is currently sold in the US and Canada. I have been eating it (3 pieces daily) for approximately 4 months now and have not put on a pound. The reason being is that it's made with raw sugar cane crystals and not refined sugar. In addition, it has no waxes or fillers so it's perfectly healthy for people with diabetes. A bigger bonus? It's delicious! Several other health benefits have been identified and there is a doctor (Dr. Steve Warren) who stands behind it. In anycase if anyone's wanting more info, feel free to email me!
I realize this is an old thread, but here is a website that goes through good vs. bad chocolate and has some research posted on dark chocolate and health benefits. Hope this helps some!
Yes this is an old thread and we have also coverd the aspect of chocolate addiction before in my previous answer!
But if you cannot find it..here is my one tip for those of you who feels you have an addiction to Chocolate:
Q: Whenever you feel the need for a bar (or many bars ) of chocolate..ask your self WHAT am I wanting instead of this chocolate?
Usually in my experience as an eating disorder specialist..rarely is this about the cravings or psychological addiction to the PEA (Phenylethalamine), or the Tryptophan found in chocolate that makes us feel good or high..although these effect does exist to a small extent.
More your psychological need to fill that void your life otherwise lacks satisfaction..or the excitment it creates when your every day life doesn't offer this in anyway..that is more accountable to the repeated addictive need to have chocoloate!
Hope this helps Ladies !
With warm wishes
