When a Craving Hits, Switch
I've found success in switching candies; whenever one makes me crave in a loco way, I switch to something less tasty, but equally chocolaty. Currently I try to eat the EAS Carb Control bars, and the Reeses Sugar Free Peanut Butter cups. They are two brands that I like okay, and just knowing that I can have them instead helps me to break the craving merry go round.
A tip, I usually nibble on a reeses cup while I eat a few walnuts. I do a bite of reeses, then a bite of walnut, back and forth. It gives me a blast of nutty chocolate. That has been tiding me over nicely.
I find that I will eat a lot more chocolate when I don't have variety in my diet! I tend to grocery shop quickly, and when I don't have enough variety my mind tends to wander to candy.
Make sure you have plenty of options, like Pork Rinds, a variety of nuts, and cheeses; have some pepperoni, or a little watermelon. Keep plenty of variety to keep your mouth happy!
