Was just pondering, it is possible to get withdrawel symptoms from chocolate... I LOVE chocolate and eat it everyday, not a lot but everyday still. Haven't had any for a couple of days, have just been too busy to stop and think about it and have been bad tempered.
What do you all think?:p

This answer is coming from a diabetic, yes you can have withdrawal symptoms from chocolate !

I lapse once in a while and really need a fix but I try to pick very dark chocolate which is lower in sugar content then milk chocolate. I am not saying this the right thing to do, I test my glucose every morning and evening so I know what it is doing.

I seem to be fine when I need a fix. So there you go, yes, it happens.

Thanking you, am glad its not just me... I'm diabetic also, very naughty I know. But have been for a long time so am also good at compensating and allowing for the daily "fix"... ha ha ha.
Thanks again (",)

Glad to hear your know your limits. Diabetes is very serious and you don't want to mess with it. It's your health. Tickle has a good point with the dark chocolate. THat's my fave! Good luck to you.

Chocolate has at least three chemicals that stimulate women's hormones

Sad to hear that you can't do dark chocolate. Why is that?

kiki_doki · Nov 23, 2007, 11:47 AM

I just really don't like the taste... at all... have tried but failed (",)

Do you like banana bread? YUM YUM! That might be a good substitute!

Yes I love it, and make a mean banana bread!

It is... my favorite coffee shop by my work has them! I had pumpkin bread this morning instead of banana bread. Talk about tasty!!

kiki_doki · Nov 24, 2007, 03:08 PM

Ok, will have to look that stuff up too, you have some tasty morsels available where you are! I'm migrating... he he he :)

ChihuahuaMomma · Nov 24, 2007, 03:10 PM

You think that's tasty? I usually have it with white chocolate mocha with three shots of gingerbread flavor... OMG, yum!!

kiki_doki · Nov 24, 2007, 03:15 PM

Right, this is causing me to take action... am getting hungry now... am off to make a hot chocolate (and book a flight to Vancouver... :)). Unfortunately it doesn't have white choc or gingerbread flavour.Might toast a poppyseed bagel with it!!

Chocolate craving is common, but chocolate is not considered one of the addictions which would mean it was classified a drug. The phenyethylene and anandamide contained in chocolate has anti depressant abilities, but you need to consider all chocolate has substantial amounts of sugar, which is why some people think chocolate is addicting. It's just a craving, like anything else when you want it, and don't get it, you get grumpy!
