According to a Tufts University survey, women rank chocolate as their favorite food to eat when depressed. Men choose ice cream. * If nothing but chocolate will satisfy a craving, cut your favorite bar into bite-size pieces and keep them in the freezer. One piece will take about 10 minutes to thaw in your mouth - and by that time your craving may be satisfied. * If nothing but a rich dessert will do, share it with a friend. * Frozen meals can be good or bad. An effective rule of thumb is no more than 3 grams of fat per 100 calories of food.
