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.

"I have only gained like three pounds since the summer. Pretty amazing since all of the damage I have done."
Hi Umm Imran, you have a really great exercise program, which is probably why you are successfully keeping your weight down (haven't gained more than three pounds), even though you struggle with staying on track, trouble avoiding sweets.
Just bumping up this info on Real Dark Chocolate for Phase 2 and 3 newer
