Who still eats chocolate and loses weight?

Yes - I have biscuits every day, or chocolate, and I order in pizza once a week - I average about 1lb a week weight loss.

As long as you are in a calorie deficit you will lose weight regardless of what you eat. There is no need to give up something you enjoy - just use portion control.

Daily chocolate consumption and my ticker is proof it is ok!

I have chocolate several times a week, sometimes daily when it fits in my calories and macros. No reason to deny yourself.

Every. Single. Day. 32 pounds down since July. Ten peanut butter M&Ms have 80 calories, Trader Joe's dark chocolate bars have 100 calories, and I almost always have 100 or more calories left after 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. So I get at least a nibble every day.

I've tried cutting out all sweets before and it never worked because I couldn't stick with it. I'm just not meant to live without chocolate. This time I eat what I want but in sensible portions. So far, so good and it's something I feel like I could stick with forever.

Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love love love chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I eat Lindt 70% dark or 85% dark. A few squares a day; it's like medicine for me!

^^^^^This.....except I favor Alter Eco Blackout 85%!

I like the Dove dark chocolate squares and will usually have one or two if I have the calories. I especially love putting a bit of PB on them.

While my vice is not chocolate, I do have one. Starbucks. I have one almost every morning at 350 calories. Point is that you can still enjoy a treat or vice or indulgence and there is no need to deprive yourself. Just make sure you are counting/tracking properly.

Enjoy :drinker:

Yes. As long as I'm getting my protein and water in, I allow myself plentiful good quality dark chocolate. It has health benefits!

I try to keep the calories under 200 on it, and make it really good quality.

Mind you, I am nowhere near goal, so I might have to change this when I get closer, but I doubt it. I am following the skinny people and observing their habits. The most successful at long term fitness and good nutrition eat chocolate. It makes the plan sustainable.

But I have lost 72 lbs in about 5 months eating chocolate almost daily in some form or another. Just count every bite and make sure you're not using calories that are needed for protein ... and flush, flush, flush with water because any sugar tends to cause a bit of water retention for most!

I eat everything. Lol. Pie, cake, snack and all the wrong foods I am told. However, when I eat something I like or crave then I workout a little harder. Everything is good in small amounts.

I've eaten 2 of my boyfriend's homemade chocolate chip cookies every day for the past week. I lost 4.2lbs this week. Fit it in your calories and all is well.

Oh, yeah! If I couldn't have chocolate and my other vices? I would have fallen off the wagon a long time ago. I keep it within calorie limits, and am good to go.

I eat anything i want..some kind of sweet daily and still lose weight.. It is when I throw caution to the wind and don't eat in moderation I get myself in trouble.

Last year I lost 26 lbs while still eating chocolate every day - I just made sure it fit into my calorie allowance for the day (trust me, I MADE it fit).

Up until last week I ate chocolate every day while maintaining my weight loss. If I hadn't been able to do that I wouldn't have lasted very long in my weight loss endeavours.

Right now I am in competition prep and I cannot have chocolate. I know it is short-term (3 months) so I am able to cope so far....but ask me again in a week or two, lol.

I have chocolate at least 4 times a week, usually a dark chocolate salted caramel lately, but sometimes other things. As you know it is about calorie management, and as long as you are within your calorie range you are good. Even when I was at 2lbs a week I could squeeze in a chocolate from time to time.
