For sweets cravings, I learned this from my diet book "The Cardiologist's Wife's Chocolate too Diet" (on Amazon.com): dry mix *equal* amounts **unsweetened, non-alkalinized cocoa with Splenda, then add water & stir. A little water makes fudge sauce, more water makes a swoony chocolate drink. (For the drink don't use milk, which inhibits cocoa's huge amounts of antioxidants. Wait 2 hours, till your stomach empties, before drinking milk.)
Two tablespoons of the fudge sauce contains 8,000 antioxidants and only 40 calories. Even if you overdo it...80 calories for a double portion? 16,000 antioxidants? Cocoa is a miracle drug. It will make you happy too!
** Unsweetened, non-alkalinized cocoa is right down at your supermarket. Hershey's (the little brown box), Trader Joes, & Wild Oats/Whole Foods have great products.
