Chocolate Chocolate. Can it help to loose weight?

I love chocolate. I love chocolate bars with nuts and raisins and I love drinking chocolate.
It is lovely treatment especially in the winter evenings spent with book or good movies.



What about you? Do you like chocolate? What is your favourite one? Milk, dark, with orange or chilli?

Chocolate has a bad image as a high-calorie food that people should avoid. Yes it is high calorie so we need to be careful with the amount we eat but eating chocolate has a lot of health benefits.Yes, yes it is true!
The natural flavonoids in chocolate improve blood vessel function and heart healthy benefits and what is more eating chocolate could help with weight loss by helping to control cravings.
So are we going to eat chocolate?


A little chocolate reduce overall calorie consumptions but it is necessary to choose the right kind. The dark chocolate is the best one and it is over milk chocolate when it comes to satysfying cravings and it also has greater health benefits. Moreover the more cacoa in the the dark chocolate the better. So choose a bar with cacoa content of 70%, 80%, 90%. The drawback is that it can taste more bitter.







So if we eat a bar of chocolate it is a high chance that we eat less calories in the next meal and it reduces the desire to eat other unhealthy foods that are high sugar or fat.
Additionally dark chocolate lower blood pressure and may reduce risk of stroke and heart attack. We won't that when we nibble on cookies, muffins, doughnut.
And chocolate lowers levels of stress hormones and make us feel happy!

So maybe chocoholism is not so bad? So maybe when we feel like eating something sweat in the evening a little bit of chocolate will be good for us?What do you think?
I think we shouldn't feel guilty eating a little bit or drinking a cup of chocolate in the evening.

Enioy them!
