a piece of dark chocolate every day is good for your health...and once a week you can enjoy a chocolate dessert...it's ok!

Haven't you heard?
Chocolate is good for you!
Researchers found eating 100g of dark chocolate each day for 15 days lowered blood pressure in the 15 person-study.
The University of L'Aquila team also found the body's ability to metabolise sugar - a problem for people with diabetes - was improved.
If you are worried about the sugar content, there are plenty of brands and stores that make a suger free or low sugar versions.

Chocolate is not that neccesarily bad, its just the over consumption of it that is no good, but that can be said for anything. If you really want a substitute, i would have to recommend celery sticks as it is high in energy, just as chocolate might give you that sugar rush, and its more natural !

have the chocolate, but have it in a small dose like a hershey's kiss or a tootsie roll (low fat). If you don't give into your craving you will wind up binging later on. Dark chocolate has good anti oxidents for your health. But when ever you indulge in that small sample of chocolate, savour it and make it special maybe as a reward. good luck

The best thing to do is eat a little chocolate if you crave it, take the smallest piece you can and don't eat anymore, that way you loose the craving and don't eat a whole bar.

there is no good substitute for chocolate. have just a small piece and enjoy the pleasure. the more you deny yourself, the more likely you are to binge. so satisfy the craving with a small amount and don't feel guilty.

Haven't you heard? chocolate is the new health food full of antioxidants (whatever those are. . .) dark chocolate is supposed to be better for you. So it's ok to eat it, give in to your craving, but go for a little of the good stuff instead of a lot of the crappy stuff.
