To save on chocolate prices: If you crave chocolate, you might be magnesium deficient. Take a magnesium supplement.

48% of Americans are magnesium deficient. From googling, the hard to absorb inorganic ones are magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The easy to absorb organic salts include magnesium citrate, lactate, aspartate, and glycinate.
I also found when I eat eggs, I crave chocolate less. I think it's the fat content.
(But I expect many just like the sugar.)

If you think you are magnesium deficient please go talk to your doctor about it and have a blood test done to confirm.

Aurix @lemmy.world Beware blood tests do not reflect the full state of vitamin deficiencies and can be even misleading.

This is a jumble of barely-researched data held together by conjecture and boxed as a "pro" tip? Is this Facebook now? 🤦🏽♂️
21 1 ReplywcSyndrome @lemm.ee No idea what resource you're citing but mag citrate is used to treat constipation... It will give you diarrhea, it is a horrible source of dietary magnesium
14 2 ReplyAurix @lemmy.world Magnesium citrate is a much better source than magnesium oxide, but seemingly less bioavailable than gluconate. Only the liquid form is used as a laxative and the powder dosages don't give you diarrhea at all, at least not in the formulation and dosages I use. https://www.verywellhealth.com/magnesium-citrate-benefits-side-effects-dosage-and-interactions-4177658
