    I incorporate weekly fast food into my diet to lose weight.... Just so long as I remain in a calorie deficit.

    Note: there are no magic foods that makes the human body lose fat. (So fast food doesn't make me lose fat - my calorie deficit does that).

    This brand is what I’m currently eating. According to my research, I should look for dark chocolates that have at least 70% cacao. I’m eating daily by portion. Like in this package, there are 12 blocks which I would consume for 12 days. Helps me with cravings. I drink water along with it.

    Have you tried a caloric deficit for fat loss?

    Yes I have. I only eat dark chocolates to manage cravings. :)

    I eat milk chocolate :smile: kit kat is my favourite-I’ve lost 14 lbs in the last 6 months.

    Congrats!

    but... ya know, had you substituted dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, you might have lost 14.1 pounds in that same amount of time.

    I use milk chocolate for weight loss. Admittedly I can't have as much as I would like so most of the time I'll have Halo Top instead.

    Directly, dark chocolate does not induce weight loss. That only comes from a calorie deficit. However, switching from having a bag of Hershey Kisses around all the time to a bag of Ghirardelli 72% squares has left me more satisfied with a serving and I’m not finishing it off in 2-3 days like the Kisses. So indirectly, it helps me out by helping control my calorie intake.

    Ditto! I also eat the Ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate squares. I have one in the evening if I have enough calorie allowance left (I usually do) and a bag lasts for a couple weeks (especially when my kids won't eat plain dark chocolate and steal them).

    I eat chocolate because I love chocolate. I make room for it. CICO all the way.

    I eat dark chocolate every day. Has no effect on weight loss, other than including it in my daily calories.

    I satisfy my chocolate cravings with Cocoa Puffs. Lower in calories than most "healthy" cereals and I get chocolate milk after eating the cereal so it's a win-win for me.

    Doing keto my tastes buds changed and now I really enjoy 90% dark chocolate ... but dark chocolate alone isn’t going to make you lose weight
