Chocolate

Assuming your getting a balanced diet and staying in your calorie limit. Go for it. Weight loss is about calorie deficit. Balancing nutrient intake for health. I routinely eat a bowl of ice cream every night and lost 53 lbs ;P I find not depriving myself and teaching must moderation really helped make it sustainable.

I'm currently eating a 25g bar of dark, mint chocolate-mmmmm. I probably have something similar 3-4 times a week within my cals. It stops me feeling deprived and as it's so rich a small bar takes about 20 mins to eat and feels really decadent

As long as you're not over your calorie limit, why not! Chocolate is awesome

As long as you are within your daily goal - you eat allll that chocolate :bigsmile:

I personally believe that the only reason a person might want to lay off chocolate would be if chocolate were something that "triggered" that person into getting out of control with their calories. For some people, such as myself, chocolate is a food that turns me into a she-beast, lol... I just cannot control myself once it touches my lips. It just makes me want more, more, more and I won't stop until I've binged my way into a state of bloated guilt. But put french fries, fried chicken, or pizza in front of me and I'll happily eat one serving and not think about it again. It's just the sweet treats that send me over the edge. I've learned that abstaining from these foods keeps me sane and on track. But if you don't have this type of problem, then I agree with everyone else here in saying feel absolute freedom to enjoy it in moderation, as long as it fits into your caloric goals!

I have chocolate every day. It's the one that I tried to get away from, but decided I just couldn't. I make sure it fits in my calorie count, and so far, I've lost 101 lbs..soooo I'd say if it fits, enjoy!

Do people eat choc during dieting? I just had four mini bountys and although it was in my cal limit I still feel like I shud layoff it?

I eat dark chocolate because it supports my iron needs.

Don't forget it's delicious.

I recently discovered chili pepper dark chocolate. .. I'm not quite sure how...but it's freaking delicious

Chili + chocolate is awesome!

But, no. I take it supplementally. I sort of lean back and try not to think how good it tastes. Because it wouldn't be a diet if it tasted good, would it?

I don't consider it "dieting". This is forever. Yes, I eat chocolate if I want it and it fits in my macros for the day.

Hmmm... true.

I, uh, am eating tiramisu gelato tonight for the...calcium

I'll bring the Oreo's - you know to use as spoons.

I'll eat dark chocolate in moderation. Eating milk chocolate feels like wasted calories to me and white chocolate is an abomination unto the Lord and we shall not speak its name again.

Well if you ever have this so called abomination unto the lord (name not spoken) send it my way for disposal. I'll eat.. er ah make sure it never surfaces again.
