Oh boy do I have some good news for you!! Watch my segment above and you will learn that a little dark chocolate can actually HELP you lose weight!
The catch:
- Applies only to chocolate 70% dark or higher (ideally 80%)
- 40g per day max which about four Lindt Choc squares (see video for an example, it’s actually quite a lot).
- The rest of your diet has to be low calorie, and you need to exercise.
Tips for eating chocolate guilt free:
- Follow the above three points!
- Know your weakness: Is it a certain time of day (3pm/after dinner), or that once you crack open a block, you can’t stop.
- Head off a disaster BEFORE it strikes: EG Don’t keep a block in the cupboard if you know you’ll eat the whole thing, buy a small serve on the way home.
- Find healthy alternatives to your fav treats: EG if you love dessert (like me!), find a bunch of 150cal desserts that satisfy you, but don’t break the calorie bank. I love Chobani Yoghurt (high protein) with a some blueberries and a sprinkle of Brookfarm gluten free muesli. Or two squares Lindt dark chocolate dipped in herbal tea. Skinny cow ice-cream is another good treat choice.
