It's helped with a number of my food demons, while dieting to lose weight at the same time, plus being on a low carb diet.I've always enjoyed dark chocolate, but for very different reasons than milk chocolate. My enjoyment of milk chocolate came from the creamy texture (I'm a texture person, like you), the sweetness, and that lingering coating it leaves in your mouth. For 99% of the time, my tastes have now changed on low carb, meaning my sweet treat cravings have significantly reduced and that's admittedly helped. For the 1% of the time where they do still kick in, dark chocolate doesn't satisfy those cravings on its own as it's not creamy enough. However, 85-90% dark chocolate now tastes sweeter due to low carbing, so that's half the battle. Melting it and mixing it with double cream then resolved the texture craving for me. As with most of my tricks when low carbing, it's an idea I saw and stole from a post on this forum.</blockquote>
