Your Alternative to...

Whats your alternative to chocolate?
No one say fruit; I’m not fruity.

Whats the hardest thing to let go of when you’re dieting/eating healthier?

Re: Your Alternative to...

There isn't. I think it's okay to have 1 chocolate bar a day.

Re: Your Alternative to…

^^ one chocolate bar a day in wieght watchers language is about 5 to 6 points. :nono:

and diabetes is a concern here.

Re: Your Alternative to...

you do need glucose in ur diet aswell so to elminate sugar from it altogether wouldnt be wise

Re: Your Alternative to…

:smack:
Chocolate isn’t the only source of sugar in life.
I prefer turning to healthier options and sugar in my coffee. :slight_smile:

What about raisins?

Re: Your Alternative to...

is fudge healthier than chocolate by any chance?

Re: Your Alternative to...

Dates

Re: Your Alternative to…

raisins and dates… Now those are some interesting ideas.

How about chocolate covered raisins? :wub:

TLK - I dont think so. I think dark chocolate is slightly healthier for the heart.

Re: Your Alternative to...

vegetables?

dates are good. Chocolate covered with stuffed with almonds. yum!

Re: Your Alternative to...

Aren't dates very high in calories?

Re: Your Alternative to...

I find a teaspoon of nutella usually satisfies the craving.

Re: Your Alternative to...

^^ but they aren't complex sugars like chocolate; basically the all natural is easier to work off.

Nutella - thats a thought

Re: Your Alternative to…

True dat!

However I just gave em up (was throwing 2-3 in my yogurt smoothies), because of their high caloric content. :bummer:

Re: Your Alternative to...

I found the perfect alternative !!!

Yogurt covered raisins/ almonds.

WOOHOOO!!!

Guys, ...a small square of dark chocolate is better than a spoonful of nutella.

Re: Your Alternative to...

^ I was going to suggest the same.... a little square or two shouldn't put a huge dent in the diet..esp the dark kind.
