Member Question: The Dove Promise dark chocolates are only 42 calories each. They do contain sugar, but other "sweet treats" (incl. candy w/sugar alcohols) don't interest me. I've been having 2 a day in Phase 2 for months without cravings.
Dr. Agatston: From one chocoholic to another, enjoy. Remember, the main point of the diet is to get rid of cravings. If you aren't having cravings, you've made a good choice.
Dr. Agatston: In addition, chocolate has many antioxidants which are helpful. In addition, the fatty acid, stearic acid, does not raise cholesterol levels.

Susan,
The Hesheys Dark Chocolate kisses are perfect too.
In the name of Science, I'm conducting a scientific experiment for the benefit of all of you.
I told you those kisses were great, I like that I can have more than one and be w/in tghe 75 calories still :)
As I said if you freeze them they will last longer b/c it will take them longer
Maggie,
Thanks so much for "sacrificing" yourself for the cause. :-) FYI, if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, they sell Belgian dark chocolate bars in three packs that are to die for. Some of the best chocolate I've ever had, and I've had a lot of good chocolate in my day. :-) I don't have any in the house now to give the nutritional info, but DH and I frequently split a bar, which is very satisfying, with no ill effects as far as cravings or weight loss.

You know I *read* it... but I guess it went out as fast as it went in (or more likely I got excited about the next thing I read, and this quickly became a memory I'd forgotten).
