Dusti 777	You crave chocolate because of the Magnesium that's in it. Find some organic dark chocolate and have some. Don't eat a lot -- just a couple squares and save it for just that time of month. Dark chocolate is good for the immune system also but is high in fat -- so take care. I believe Giant has an organic dark chocolate bar out -- Nature's Promise. Was this answer helpful to you?

Angel	if you want it that bad, eat something that has the flavor of chocolate, like chocolate yogurt, or eat fruit covered in chocolate... usually, for me, just tasting chocolate will get rid of it.... instead, you could always try to use something else, like sunflowers, or gum... maybe even peanuts... banannas are good too, and they help with the cramps too :) sometimes, i just want salt. i normally eat salted peanuts too. good luck!!! -Angel- Was this answer helpful to you?

*Paws 4 Thawts!♥•¨•♥•¨•♥*	Heya Start the day off with breakfast, which helps prevent overwhelming hunger later in the day. Eliminate feelings of guilt related to labeling food as either good or bad. Some choices are healthier than others, but snacks and treats can be consumed in reasonable amounts. Plan ahead for each new week. Think about one's school, work, and activity schedule and how healthful snacks can be incorporated into it. Keep healthful snacks close at hand, both at home and at work. Try not to go for long periods of time without eating. Combine lean protein foods with high-fiber carbohydrate sources to provide energy that lasts for several hours, such as a slice of vegetable pizza or a bean burrito. Cravings can be the exception instead of the rule when it comes to one's diet. Developing a lifestyle that includes healthful food selections and regular meals and snacks can help control cravings. The extra time it takes in planning meals or snacks, whether eating at home or eating on the run, is easily made up for in increased energy and improved mood.
