If it's to give your mouth something to do, I'd recommend gum or hard candy vs. chocolate. You can keep a hard candy in your mouth for 20 minutes or so.

There are bags of frozen fruit. The kind people put in smoothies. I partially thaw them and then pop em in my mouth while they are still cold and slightly crunchy.. Yum

There is that new gum from Extra I think that tastes like chocolate mint.. it's really not bad!

I could eat chocolate all day every day, clearly that's not good for me I limit myself to 3 Hershey's kisses before bed. I have no idea why I do it, but considering the alternative(s), it works for me

Water.

It fills you up......

and

there is no sugar* to substitute sugar for another sugar. Nor does eating sucralose (or any other chemical/man made substance) make sense for my life.

Why not just eat healthy and see/feel what the results are?

* sucrose

water, carrot sticks, celery, and sprouts. Sounds like a perfect diet for a 'RABBIT'.

I think eating yummies with moderation is best. Anything you overdo is not good. Even the good stuff.

Ugh. I remember carob. My Mom was a bit of a health nut so that's what we got instead of chocolate. That and trail mix, yogurt drops and yogurt covered raisins. Ironically, now that I can eat all the chocolate I want, it doesn't really excite me anymore.

If you're looking for a lower cal alternative, how about hot chocolate made with cocoa powder? That way, you can control how much sugar you put in it and get a calcium fix too.

AGHH HAH! Look what I found....SEE! Fox News...

Ice cream

Good news for ice cream lovers: A recent Swedish study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that women who have at least one serving of full-fat dairy products a day gain less weight than women who don’t. Researchers aren’t entirely sure why, but it’s believed that a compound in milk fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may aid weight loss.

BEN AND JERRYS RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
