Is there a place for unsweetened chocolate or alternately raw cacao, if you can make the palate adjustment to munch on something that bitter? I usually mix the nibs into something, but if my chocolate craving is high enough they grow worth the effort to eat straight. (Ie, rule out the sugar vs chocolate craving difference. In the case of chocolate or coffee, sugar/sweetener’s just serving the role of making what I’m actually craving more palatable.)
Worth trying, but I am afraid that the likely outcome would be “I consume all the unsweetened chocolate, and then still go looking for something else”. Though recently I partially substituted sweets by peanuts (peeled, unsalted), which is almost healthy… considering the likely alternatives.
