Food Addiction Support Group

An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...

I'm a chocoholic. When i binge it is pretty much solely and purely chocolate. I feel it's poison stuff but yeah...

Can anyone recommend treatments to stop choc addiction? I have heard of people using a naturopathic way but I've no idea of what that might be....

this might help!

I remember hearing something about a work-shop type of thing to help specifically with chocolate binges, but i can't remember much about it sorry!

I know this isn't stopping it completely but maybe it'll help to cut back. I've switched to dark chocolate. There are things in it that are actually good for you and I find myself not eating nearly as much because it is so very rich. Maybe this can be a way to start cutting back. I know how you feel though cause sometimes I just can't help myself with chocolate. It is one of my worst foods. I was gonna go on but I think I'll stop here before I just make us all want some!!!

I agree. Dark chocolate definately helps. I still have to watch it or I will eat more than I think I have.

When I am in the mood for chocolate, I drink chocolate soy milk, I drink the so good kind because it only has 2.5g of fat per serving wich is
one cup=250 mL= 8 0z.. It's my treat when I'm really craving it. If you don't like soy milk just drink chocolate milk. Try 1%, because that again only has 2.5g of fat per 250 mL=8 oz=one cup serving.
It is loaded with protein either or, and yes it has sugar, but atleast you are feeding your craving in a healthy way. And in my case one cup of milk fills me up, because milk is pretty filling.

I also have a liking for chocolate but I stumbled onto Atkins chocolate bars, they are really nice, with only 1g sugar, 144 cal they are really satisfying to the point that I have not eaten any other chocolate for about 12months. Even dark chocolate used to make me crave more. I am in australia, the website is www.atkins.com all the best hope it helps
