Exactly as long as I have my daily fix of chocolate I feel satisfied and feel no need to pig out and regret it later

I have never eaten "one small square" of any kind of chocolate .

For many years I thought I loved milk chocolate, and did lose large amounts of weight by eating a large bar as a meal replacement! However, as I have weaned myself (mostly) from it I realize that what I loved was the hazelnut praline filling many Greek chocolates have, and not the chocolate.

Hazelnut praline in any form is my weakness. I adore it. Nutella is my favorite taste in the world. Now could you please come up with research that says I'll lose body fat if I consume it daily???

Pretty please?

Oh yes Nutella hazelnut praline is my weakness too
I love to keep it in the fridge and have a teaspoon or two after my coffee.
I find I can control myself around any dark chocolate or normal milk chocolate bars but Leonidas Pralines are my favorites and they seem to disappear miraculously
That is why I treat myself to Leonidas on special occasions now and because they are expensive and I usually have a Milk Toblerone for my daily fix instead.

I just sent this link to my husband. I have a "secret stash" of Dove dark chocolate pieces in the console of the living room sectional. After dinner, I have three pieces and make him move his arm off the console rest so I can get them, lol. He's always saying why don't you find another hiding place? But I've yet to come up with a better one that my 21 yr. old son won't find.

P.S. Unfortunately I'm not as thin as I'd like to be, so I'll go with another's assumption that I'd be bigger if I didn't eat the chocolate.

Best value for money is Trader Joe's one pound bars in the red wrapper. They are scored into half ounce squares and eating one is enough for me. I also like to chop it up and put it on toasted ezekiel bread with a tablespoon of almond butter as a filling but healthful treat.

I carry this with me everyday! A good day is half a square. A 'bad' day is more than one. Lately I've been thinking they're a nice addition to breakfast. Maybe I should add a little caffeine to my decaf.

LOL!!! Two days ago for my birthday, a friend gave me a bag of dark chocolate-covered almonds and a bag of dark chocolate covered pomegranates. Today the almonds are totally gone and the pomegranates are halfway there!!

PS - I didn't have any help, either!

Godiva Dark 72% with Almonds or Green and Black Organic Dark 85%.

Both of these are good!!! I also like that Italian chocolate ....pelegerino or something like that. Can't remember. I have eaten dark chocolate for years and I'm thin. LOVE dark chocolate.

I get the Trader Joe's red-label dark chocolate too, but I eat three squares a day. If they didn't want me to eat three squares, they should not have made that the serving size.

I eat some form of chocolate daily. Mostly dark but others as well. I have also maintained my weight and am still thin. Don't know if this is the reason but I also work my butt off.
