Go Ahead, Eat That Chocolate, You Deserve It!!!
Can't fight the urge? No problem, change the sweet! Remember deprivation hardly works? When you get the urge for a sweet treat, turn to dark chocolate. It will help curb your craving thanks to its insulin-resistance lowering flavonoids. The healthy fats in dark chocolate can also slow the absorption of sugar into your blood stream, preventing “insulin spikes.” Studies have shown that eating some can help put a stop to cravings for sugar, salt, and fat. However, the chocolate must be 70% cocoa, otherwise it has too much milk or sugar added to be beneficial.
You will need…
-70% dark chocolate
Directions
Directly after a meal, eat a piece of dark chocolate roughly the size of your thumb to glean its benefits.
Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself! Have some chocolate!
