I can also recommend the Aldi dark chocolate. Recently though, I've been getting Tesco's 74% Ivory Coast dark chocolate. 2 squares every night as a treat - 6.6carbs & 5.4 sugar.

Being a chocoholic and craving for chocolate most of the day not having it is really really hard.
Personally, so long as I have been extremely strict with my eating and my levels are good, I allow myself a freddo (a mini cadbury bar in the shape of a frog) on a sunday but only if my levels are good. If not, I end up not having it which as a confirmed addict, is awful.
I seriously think it is a question of portion size. Allowing a small piece once a week is like a blooming godsend!
I have my Freddo on a Friday! Can't wait!!

Of all the foods I miss (and there are so many) it is chocolate I miss the most.

I allow myself the occasional luxury of:

- party size aero (5g carbs)
- party size choc button (8g carb)

What about the so-called zero carb chocolates I have seen advertised. Am I correct in thinking that these are little more than tasty laxatives?

Any other good chocolate suggestions?

Hello,
So sorry their is no other alternative for chocolate...

What about Atkins bars? As a newbie type two I've been having half of one in the evening with a few nuts. Are they bad for us? Should I stick to a couple squares dark choc instead?
