Hello Everyone!
So many opinions about chocolate being healthy and chocolate being a detriment to your diet can make it difficult to decipher what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to eating chocolate. While the occasional indulgence of a few squares of chocolate won't hurt your health, indulging on a daily basis could be dangerous. The amount of chocolate that you eat could have a negative effect on your waistline by polluting your body with large amounts of sugar. Make chocolate an infrequent treat to keep your waistline slim and your sugar intake low. Consuming too much chocolate on a regular basis could cause you to gain weight. It's packed with sugar, carbohydrates and often added sweets like caramel, nougat and fudge. Even when consumed in dark chocolate form, chocolate should never be considered a health or diet food. Instead of relying on chocolate to improve your health and help you gain weight, look to fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein to help you feel satisfied in order to prevent your chocolate cravings and keep your chocolate consumption to a minimum.
