Try having fruit instead of chocolate

If you are monitoring/reducing carbs and sugars be careful with this approach.

There's plenty of sugars in fruits and fructose has its own issues. I normally don't eat fruit at all apart from a few berries every few weeks.

Fruit is generally high in sugar - there's about 20g carb in one apple, for example. Tropical/exotic fruit (pineapple etc) tends to be a lot sweeter. Tinned fruit is often sold in a sugar solution on top of the sugar in the fruit itself.

When I do eat berries, this would usually be strawberries/blackberries/raspberries as they are relatively low in sugar. You might find the dietdoctor website useful - it has some helpful guides to amounts of suagrs in carbs in various foods - here's the link: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/visual-guides

Some of Aldis bars come in 1 packet with individual bars separately wrapped. If you can limit yourself to 1 bar at a time and not complete packet it helps.

I love these. Not as cheap as you'd hope, coming from Aldi, but really nice and the smaller individual packets can help with self-control if you leave the big packet in the kitchen and take one of the individually wrapped bars out of the packet elsewhere to enjoy.

I put mine in a high cupboard so as to forget it is there and have to make an effort if I remember it.
