Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I craved chocolate in the womb! It's been a lifelong battle, but I've been off it now for 4 months and the cravings are gone. The only way to get rid of them is to stop eating it. I think there is a hormone connection there too, because since I quit eating all recreational sugars, including chocolate, my hot flashes and night sweats disappeared! Dropping 25 pounds didn't hurt either... Judy I do have one question about cravings - CHOCOLATE! Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo! Autos.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Jeff: The chocolate boosts the seratonin metabolism in the brain..which is dependent on thryoid hormone.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I wonder if chocolate is more of an ingredient problem like calcium deficiency. Taking more calcium cleared up my cravings.... wierd huh?? Now if I could just find a pill for enlightenment or salt, I'd be fine LOL. Re: Don't Worry Be Happy I craved chocolate in the womb!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's interesting. I do take calcium every day and my labs were solid. I've never heard that, so thanks. I'm not going to test it out though. I can have pure cocoa and I put some in my protein shake, but my recreational chocolate days are over!...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 some people crave chocolate because of magnesium defiency. Magnesium Essential during the formation of nerves, it plays a role in synaptic transmission (communication between neurons). A good magnesium balance contributes to the equilibrium of the central nervous system. in order to help me stave off choc. cravings i take mag... also after supper i have a fat free suger free choc. pudding. i make it with fat free milk. that way i have a treat everyday and it keeps me from binging. > > Thanks for suggestions, it really doesn't bother me right now, not > that bad and I'm not dating or anything.lol What a disaster that would > be!
