Satisfy Your Brain!: What You're Really Craving- Chocolate

Chocolate. MMmmm. The dealbreaker of diets, our number one guilty pleasure.
Often times when one restricts themselves from the food they love, they are more apt to cheat on their "healthy lifestyle". Not to fear though, because you're thinking of all the health benefits, and that lightens your guilt. What if I pointed out to you that you could basically elminate your guilt by making some really small changes? Recently on Dr.Oz, or one of those shows, they had been trying to get kids to eat healthy alternatives. Dark, unsweetened chocolate was said to be full of antioxidants and had multiple benefits compared to our much loved milk chocolate, which is full of fats and sugars. Problem was, most kids are turned off by the bitterness, especially those "hyper-tasters", which made me recall my favourite dark chocolate as a kid.
A really easy way to cut out a lot of the sugars and fats is to skip the snack aisle and head straight for the baking ingredients. Buy Semi-sweet Baker's chocolate. It is still a really high quality chocolate for a better bargain and often has less additives. It also still has that mild sweetness that just melts in your mouth. You can often get away with eating less and still be satisfied because it is so much richer.
So go ahead, and indulge in a piece. Maybe one is all you need!
