The first rule says "no chocolate". So, we wanted to provide you with some altneratives to help you keep the chocolate away:
  • Fruit: A great alternative when you're having a craving for sweets.
  • Carob: Sweeter than chocolate and much better for you. It does not have the caffeine, cholesterol, oxalic acid, and theobromine that chocolate contains.(Source: FitDay.com)
  • Cocoa Powder: It's a healthy ingredient that you can mix in with cottage cheese for a sweet and healthy snack. You can also sip some hot cocoa on a cold winter day. (Source: LiveStrong)
