Speak for yourself, I can wolf down huge bars of that stuff ffs!

metamorphosis

Me too - not unusual for me to make my way through lint 90% 100gms fair easily!

Really? Half of a square of a lindt bar satisfy's and suggery cravings.... it does me most times and maybe 2 quares max on a dirt day...

I find it much harder to eat than a cadburies milk chocolate type bar.

Dunno so keary, cold turkey ?

metamorphosis

I can easily live without milk chocolate, i like a proper milk chocolate every now and again (cadburys, nestle etc -none of them are real milk chocolate), but love dark, darker the better - lindt 90 and 99% any day. Nom.

On the cravings front, EileenG has posted before about a spray that she swears by that works. Maybe she will chime in with it

my wife bought 2.5kg of callebaut belgium 55% milk chocolate drops for making her choclotty goodies for the kids this Xmas. The drops are tiny and you could sneak one or two in fairly harmlessly. But I have a few of the lindt dark chocolate myself to make sume truffels... mmmmmm

...sorry op... I'm getting slightly distracted here

an honest look at the entire diet is possibly the order of the day.

Supplementing with fish oils and chromium might help also

That stuff tastes awful!
I love chocolate I started eating 85%+ and now any less just tastes too sugary but I can easily eat too much of it.
The only thing that's been good for me are protein bars, good quality ones that are about 200cal, gives you that chocolate taste and is much more nutritious than a bar of chocolate
