Here are my lines of defense:
1) Drink a big glass of water
2) If 1 doesn't work, then I eat a Chobani yogurt or eat some Xylitol mints (it's a natural sugar with the added benefit of preventing cavities)
3) if 1 or 2 don't work, then I buy a really dark chocolate (pretty good for you) and eat a couple of squares.-
sleekbirdYummmm... I love really dark chocolate!

JohnnyOIs dark chocolate approved for the ignite phase? Curious, because this is my biggest craving. DailyBurn Chocolate Fuel helps with this, but a small piece of high quality high cacao dark chocolate would be nice. I haven't had any to date, I'm on day 12.

No need for any line of defense with quality chocolate. You just shouldn't eat cheap chocolate.
Quality chocolate is extremely healthy given the high amounts of theobromine...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
...(it helps improve your mood, curbs hunger, and is a natural thermogenic). With that in mind, the best chocolate for your health is 100% cocoa mass, which has no added sugar and delivers the highest doses of theobromine. Cheap chocolate is super high in sugar (big no no) and has very little cocoa mass in it (thus little theobromine > little health benefits). on the other hand, 100% cocoa mass delivers the chocolate flavor without the sugar, and with all the wonderful health benefits. So, if I may, no defenses needed as long as your are grabbing the right type of chocolate ; )
