every time you want to chew ice, remind yourself of this. and how if you continue to chew ice, you will have teeth like a homeless meth addict.
Okay well stopping after about 10 years will be impossible (:
I'm not making that sound rude or anything haha
But I think I agree with everybody else about chewing gum, but since it's still amazing maybe you could try to suck on it instead! :D (TWSS)
And that could just be a start; Not stopping completely because then you'll crave it even more so take baby steps, like try sucking on it for 1-2 cups, then 2-3 cups, then 3-4 cups, and then just suck on it and when that gets old try chewing gum (:
I don't know I'm just a super smart 13 year old ;D
Hi!
Why don't you try frozen broccoli, frozen chunks of fruit or frozen yogurt?
It is more nutritious and besides within some time you can switch to only cold broccoli, fruit or yogurt. The objective is to chew something you can gradually control the temperature until you just don't need it.
I hope this can help you... and your teeth! :)
You may be anemic. Try taking iron pills and see if that lessens your craving for ice. You can allows go to your doctor and have him/her check to see if you do have an iron deficiency.

They say if you chew ice cubes, your sexually frustrated. So take your frustration out with something else, like writing down things or a stress ball.
Make sure you don't have access to ice cubes

The urge to chew ice is actually a sign of anemia (not enough iron in the blood)
First thing I would do to stop is go get a blood planel done.
If it turns out that your levels are all normal, then try and eat something else like nuts, or do something else with your hands to stop yourself from eating it. Make jewelery or learn to knit or something.

It also mentions Pica, which is a condition that makes you crave things that aren't nutritious in anyway (which is strange b/c your body generally only craves things it gets nutrients from) And with Pica some things aren't even food and can be dangerous to eat (like laundry detergent)
I'm anemic and used to eat ice all the time too.
