The chocolate diet. And yes ladies, there is!
Chocolate ... melted, square, powdered in your milk. This aphrodisiac delight, this incredible anti-stress, the one that reassures you when things are not going well, is not as bad as you think. Are you afraid of being deprived of it by dieting and you no longer want to give in to temptation by being afraid of gaining weight? All things considered, at that point, you have gone to the perfect spot. YES, the chocolate diet exists, and NO, you are not dreaming!
It is comforting, creamy, melting ... (oops! We get lost.) Eating chocolate alone makes you fat for sure, especially if the call of choco makes our eyes sparkle, our taste buds shiver, martyrs us and prevents us to be reasonable. But if it is combined with fiber (such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains), then it's the jackpot! In fact, fibers delay the absorption of sugars and fats and allow you to lose weight.
It is very important to respect the daily dose which is 10g / day and not to eat it in the evening because the body will not have time to burn this energy.
So ladies, happy?
What a shame to deprive yourself of it when it does so much good! Chocolate is a perfect anti-stress, it lowers blood pressure, it is good during pregnancy, it is an excellent antioxidant and it is good for cholesterol. It is rich in magnesium, (30g of chocolate covers 10% of the recommended intake), in flavonoids (antioxidant properties which are cardiovascular protection), as well as in iron and other antioxidants.
Too many people remove it from their diet for fear that it will make them fat. But it's like everything, just don't overdo it.
But learning to control yourself is possible, even if it is difficult. You just have to be willing.
