Is there such a thing as chocolate addict?


Question:
I can't stop eating chocolates. I always have a bar or two everyday. I know it is unhealthy, but I can't stop having one.

Answers:
A chocolate addict is known as chocoholic - you know like alcoholic.

But the good news is that dark chocolate can be healthy for you, if you take a small amount each day.

I even read somewhere (I wish I remembered where, but I can't find it) that even milk chocolate has some health benefits - this is really new news.

I think you know that chocolate has a special ingredient that helps put you in a good mood - now isn't it good to be put in a good mood in a natural way?

As one chocoholic to another, you don't need to stop eating chocolate completely - you just need to eat smaller amounts. Also, if you keep chocolate in your home, try not buying large amounts. For example buy 1 bar for the week. Perhaps you can drink hot chocolate also - that may be less fattening too.

The main rule is everything in moderation (my Dad used to say so and you remember Father Knows Best - well, it's true).

Good luck and don't give up your chocolate - you deserve the pleasure of eating chocolate (just make it part of a sensible, healthy food plan).

Other Answers:
yes.but it is more commonly known in its most advanced stage, "OBESITY"

yes, cause you are one. everytime you want to have chocolate take a carrot instead and then keep yourself busy till the next eating time I think so. at least I think I am. I dream of chocolate even when I eat chocolate. I'm helpless!


Chocolate Addicts like the way chocolate makes them feel. It releases chemicals in the brain that sedate you. You can stop this by: Finding something else to sedate you, or figuring out why you crave this feeling.


you're talking to one =].

actually, dark chocolate is good for you. it contains more antioxidants than any other food! i know.kind of hard to believe. the darker the chocolate, the better.

There is 25 mg of caffeine in one one ounce of bitter chocolate. That can certainly cause chocolate- caffeine dependance if you eat two bars of chocolates every day. And make you addict in the long run. OHH! YES! MMMEEEE! I'm so fat though, but I can't stop. But dark chocolate lowers blood pressure!


Of course there is! You are one and so am I. If you are a normal; weight and lead an otherwise healthy lifestyle why worry. It's less harmful than drugs or alcohol. If you have a weight problem don't diet but make small sensible changes to your eating, like semi skilled milk instead of full fat, excercise more and keep a diary to find out the triggers for over eating. But do not attempt to give up chocolate that is unrealistic. A little of what you fancy does not hurt.
I am currently trying out vanilla patches, you can get them at the chemist, sniff them when you feel like a chocolate bar and the craving is reduced (or so they say).
Good Luck Chocolate has something in it that makes you feel better if you're sad or something. I don't know what it's called but it's there.
