I found it very useful to know what you crave and when you crave it. I keep Chocolate Coffee beans in the house a week before and during my TOM. I keep just enough for those two weeks.. I don't want chocolate the other 2 weeks so why keep temptation. I agree with the fat. For my last TOM, I made a Cream Cheese, Cocoa, sweetner, vanilla mixture and I only needed a few tablespoons to give me that ahh.. feeling.
Macadamian Nuts help too.
By the way, I'm a Mom of two children too. A boy and a Girl
