Crave chocolate? Here's the cure:

[Deja Q]

10oz frozen raspberries (but put in fridge for 4 hours prior to)
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp Splenda


Beat the milk for 10 minutes until it gets frothy and thick. Pour in the splenda and beat for a minute more.

Mix in the raspberries.

Eat.

No chocolate craving.

Low calories.

Low fat.

High fibre.

High taste.

And you can tell the corporate chocolate makers to sit on their favorite finger and spin on it. :7

1. HA!

you think that will even make a dent? you are fooling yourself.
you could put some cocoa powder in there, tho.

[Deja Q]

3. I think I deserve a mate.

THAT is fooling myself. :7

2. Buy fair trade chocolate...

Choco-holics... I dare you to click on this link

This is the best chocolate you can buy and it is not that expensive... it is fair trade.

4. If I made a post telling of a cure for 'intimacy cravings', would you

in return put up a link for free mega porno? :wow:

Oops, sorry, I meant "fair trade porno"? :7

[expatriot]

6. that would be in violation of the "no sex threads" rule

:woohoo:

5. Sounds good

I find that sometimes you can kill cravings by going for opposite flavors - for example, if you've got a sweet tooth, eat something like a sour dill pickle - they're incompatable so they cancel each other out.

7. chocolate is high in anti-oxidants

higher than berries, wine, or many other foods. Dark chocolate is best, because it has less sugar and milk and more chocolate.

13. And recently, dark chocolate was also said to lower blood pressure

Don't have a link, but the article was about 2 weeks ago

14. I heard that too

the Aztecs drank chocolate, though without sugar.

[Cadence]

8. Chocolate cravings can be a sign of being low

on the brain chemical dopamine.

9. Chocolate doesn't have to be that bad for you...

You can get fudgesicles made with splenda... 35 cal a piece
or
sugar free chocolate pudding made with skim milk... about 70 cal a serving (1/2 cup)
and
another good one I discovered recently is
chocolate rice cakes....80 cal
All these things are low fat too.

10. Chocolate rice cakes????

You mean they make those?? :puke: As if the rice cake wasn't bad enough by itself, they had to make it chocolate.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

11. I love them...

crunchy and chocolatey.

[kitkatrose]

15. ...

They just have no taste to me, but I'm glad someone likes them. :hi:

12. splenda kills lab rats. I don't eat nothin' that kills lab rats.

Give me sugar, cream, butter and eggs baby.
