How To Lose Weight By Eating Chocolate!

The world of dieting and diets is full of some really strange and wacky ideas! It seems that almost every month some celebrity or another is coming out endorsing yet another spin on the diet theme! Well, I'm no celebrity, but here is one you might not expect - The Chocolate Diet!
I can almost see you falling off your chair in fits of giggles - here comes another of those wacky fad diets from yet another self-proclaimed expert! I'm always very aware of that old definition of an "expert" - "X" is an unknown quantity, and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure!
The Chocolate Diet? Haven't we've been told since we were young that chocolate is BAD for us - a moment on the lips, a life time on the hips! Certainly, if you are talking about highly refined milk chocolate then I would agree with you. But, what if we were talking about something very different?
We might be in need of a quick history lesson. Hernan Cortes was the Conquistador who led the?"conquest" of the Aztecs. Writing in 1519 he observed:
"The divine drink builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink permits a man to walk for a whole day without food"!
And the drink he was talking about was .... Chocolate! Remember, he was a soldier not known for making rash, unsubstantiated, judgments. Clearly, something is going on here that we need to pay attention to.
But before you go rushing off to the local supermarket, and hit the sweet counters, this is not any old chocolate we are talking about! Certainly, it is not your average confectionery chocolate. What if we were talking about one of the most natural and nutritious foods known to humanity - the original Healthy Dark Chocolate?
Most of our "sweet" chocolate is so highly processed that all the natural goodness has been stripped from it. The very processes we use to make chocolate more "palatable" destroy nearly all its nutritional value. In the same way that overcooking a dish of vegetables turns it into a nutritional wasteland, so it is with chocolate.
This article is all about how healthy chocolate can genuinely help you to lose weight. It is not a joke or another diet scam. It is a serious and accurate claim that can work as well for you as it has for us.
Let's think about dieting for a moment. Most people equate "going on a diet" with some sort of fiendish punishment for past sins! They believe that everything that makes eating fun and enjoyable has to be stopped - no more treats, just boring, boring, rabbit food!
That is precisely why I love the idea of "The Chocolate Diet". Imagine being able to have regular portions of healthy chocolate that will actually help you to lose weight. Suddenly being on a diet doesn't seem such a bad proposition after all!
Surprisingly, there is a great deal of solid scientific evidence to suggest that eating healthy dark chocolate can actually reduce your body fat levels! It seems that eating real chocolate regulates the genes that are involved with the metabolism of fats. It actually helps our body to digest the fats we consume.
Not only that, but healthy chocolate also seems to act as a major appetite suppressant too. A small square or nugget fills you in a way that seems unbelievable considering its size!
Much of our desire to eat comes from the poor nutritional content of so much of our food stuffs. Our body craves certain nutrients and will encourage us to eat to supply its needs. If it recognises that it is getting the nutrition it needs it ceases its craving for "junk" foods with their high sugar and dubious nutritional content.
Our family has certainly found this to be the case, and our desire for "quick fix" snacks has all but vanished since we have been taking our healthy chocolate. Regular doses of good, nutritious, food seem to naturally regulate our weight - without all the painful side effects and cravings of conventional dieting.
Does it mean that you can still eat lots of other rubbish and magically lose weight? Of course not! You have to look at your total diet. The good news is that the chocolate seems to help you! A common experience is that people no longer crave unhealthy snacks - the need for instant sugar fixes are gone, and with it goes all those extra calories that pile on during the day.
Remember, the most effective way to lose weight is to control what you eat. And an effective way to control what you eat is to let healthy dark chocolate do the work for you. You definitely won't feel like you're "on a diet" then!
One of the definitions of madness is doing the same thing but expecting different results! Until you do something different you will not lose weight - it really is that simple. Sometimes people just need a gentle nudge to make empowering changes. That nudge can come from eating healthy chocolate - it will simply do the work for you.
If you have a few too many wobbly bits where there use to be firm curves then here is something that should definitely get you interested. A new approach to lose weight that will help you to get the body you always wanted, without all the heartache of a conventional diet!
