How to Eat Chocolate and Lose Weight

Chocolate is a must have...non negotiable. Yet so many diets tell you to give up chocolate. Here is how to eat chocolate and lose weight.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Chocolate :)

1. 
    

   The key to losing weight eating chocolate is simple....choose the right chocolate - high quality chocolate! Low quality/high sugar chocolate interacts with your bloodstream so you crave more chocolate immediately.

2. Quality chocolate is chocolate with a high cocoa content that lingers in your mouth after you have eaten it. The texture will be silky not grainy. Low quality chocolate will dissolve in your mouth quickly and the flavor will disappear almost right away. Some high quality chocolates are Valhrona, Cargill and Lindt.

3. Low quality chocolate contains alot of sugar. High quality chocolate is mostly cocoa. Start shopping for chocolate with a high cocoa content 75 % or more.

4. At first you may desire your high sugar chocolate. But if you eliminate the low quality chocolate from your pantry and only have the high quality available, you will realize that high cocoa chocolate gives you the taste you desire and lets you control your intake. Just a little will give you a strong chocolate taste! Mmmm!

on 9/5/2008 Well, you don't actually lose weight eating chocolate. You just won't gain weight if you don't eat a lot of it.
