Easter has come and gone. Thank goodness.
If your on a diet this can be one of the hardest times of the year.
Friends and family always buy you an easter basket or box of chocolates. Don't they know your on a diet. YES!
But if only they had bought dark chocolate, then it wouldn't be so bad.
Dark chocolate contains more cacao and less sugar than milk chocolate and research has shown that it keeps blood pressure down and helps the blood pumping which makes for a healthier heart.
Cocoa also benefits the brain by improving the functions of the blood vessels.
So chocolate can be good for you, in moderation. Remember that 100g of dark chocolate contains 500 calories so you need to count this in your diet.
I find that if I have a craving for something sweet, a small square of dark chocolate takes that feeling away and satisfies the craving.
Try it, it really does work.
REMEMBER - WILLPOWER
