Craving Chocolate Give in once in a while! By denying your desire for chocolate (or any particular food), you are setting yourself up for failure. If you find yourself craving a food and expending effort to avoid it, you may eventually give up and overindulge. Then your blood-sugar control suffers, and you feel guilty and depressed. Think about some healthy ways to satisfy your craving. For chocolate lovers, dark or bitter chocolate is preferred to milk chocolate, which has higher dairy fat. We suggest low-fat yogurt. You can sweeten with Nu Stevia Orange or Lemon drops. They also now have a chocolate syurp. Make a fancy dessert with angel-food cake, strawberries and Nu Stevia chocolate syrup. Try to portion control. Recent research has shown that sugar has about the same effect on your blood sugar level as an equal amount of carbohydrates from potatoes or rice. So when you must have chocolate, choose a relatively low-fat variety or chocolate Stevia and substitute it into your meal plan for other carbohydrates.
