Craving For Sweets

People commonly crave certain foods when they are:

* Feeling deprived.

* Swearing off specific foods or not getting enough calories can lead to cravings.

* Managing emotions.

People often use food to reward themselves or reduce stress. Dealing with learned patterns or associations. If you always eat cake with coffee, for example, the smell of coffee can make you crave cake. There are many ways to work on controlling your cravings, and you're already practicing one of them: If you can limit the food you're craving to a reasonable portion (in your case, one piece of chocolate) then perhaps you can make the food a regular part of your eating plan. Work it into your total calorie count for the day and enjoy!
