1. Have one ounce of chocolate each day. This idea is the cornerstone of the Chocolate Diet. It will tame your chocolate cravings and reduce your urge to cheat.

2. Plan meals surrounding a pasta dish. The majority of the meals on the Chocolate Diet consist of pasta with low-fat sauce on top.

3. Eat lots of fruit. On the Chocolate Diet you'll eat fruit with each pasta meal and snack on fruit between meals. You'll also have lots of salads with low-fat dressing.

4. Snack on popcorn. You'll eat three snacks daily on the Chocolate Diet and two of those are popcorn. Pair your daily chocolate intake with one of the popcorn snacks if you wish.

• There is no specific exercise program associated with the Chocolate Diet.
