I think this is the stupidest thing ever to pay money for, but hey, if it satisfies your craving for chocolate, more power to you...

I want to taste the chocolate, to leave it melt inside my mouth, to sit back close my eyes and imagine beautiful places, and then finish with cursing myself!

Especially,if you haven't eaten chocolate for more than 3-4 months, eating it like this is the closest thing to... you know.

Try Lindt 85% dark cocoa. Limit yourself to two squares per day (1/2 serving). Very low-carb, very tasty, and if you ration yourself that single bar will last quite a while.

Personally I am fine with protein bars I am taking from my gym once in a while. They are perfect subs for something sweet. Occasionally I eat my 50g portion of dark chocolate.

You're also not sticking to low carb, so those protein bars are fine. For someone on 30 grams a day or fewer, those bars are really really hard to budget in, as much as I'd love to.

I know I'm going to get my woman card taken away for this, but once I get going on the low carb, I don't feel the overwhelming compulsion to eat chocolate all the time. I LOOOOOVE to gorge myself on it when I'm not on the low carb, so it's not that I could take it or leave it in general. I'd just rather skip it on the days I eat low carb (except for maybe using some dark cocoa powder, Torani syrup or Walden Farms chocolate dip) and then eat 40 tons of ice cream with real hunks of chocolate in it during my carb up period.

I have started 'cheating' regularly this month (3-4 times a week). I haven't gained any weight, actually I have lost 1.5kg, so I just enjoy my small cheats.I prefer having frequent small cheats than really sink in food just once in 1-2 months and then strict again...

I know the one your speaking of, you can also get 90% which comes in at 14g carbs per 100g bar. I had some yesterday but didn't ration very well and ate 7 squares so that was 9.8 g carbs. With the last square I put it in the microwave and then added some double cream and a small spoon of strawberry whey it was very tasty. I wont be buying anymore anytime soon as I cant control myself. It's like the double cream its got 2.6g carbs per 100ml, I'll buy 300ml pots and I can consume the whole thing in a sitting and want more so I need to find a replacment becuase the carbs mount up otherwise. I've started to enjoy butter with a spoon but I need to find a very low carb one becuase the one in the fridge has too many carbs for my liking.

As for regular milk chocolate a couple of weeks ago on a crab day I ate 2 whole easter eggs in one sitting so I'll be avoiding that for the time being.

Some peopel hate the taste of protein bars but I prefer them to alot of regular filled chocolate bars, I should get one for a carb up actually. I remember when I started to try and gain weight I bought a few full boxes and they were very nice indeed, I probably over did it.
