Default Ques. about Dark Chocolate? MMMmmmm

Has antone else read and or tried dark chocolate? I read that it is good for the heart and is ok for weight loss in moderation of course? I bought a 7 bar box of Hersheys' Dark Choc. bars,havent tried them yet bvt?...... One bar is 17 grams,0 Trans.fat, 3 gms sat.fat,<1gm protein,11 carbs.and 8 gms sugar per bar. What do you all think I am curious and tempted to try,lol. I am not a real sweet craver and never was, I just heard it was good for you so why not? Kathy

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

hahaa. of course ive had it. i have tested the waters with just about everything. for some reason though, chocolate smells funny to me post op so i dont really like it. the choice is yours. some people will say dont do it. others will say do it. only you know yourself and how you will handle yourself if it doesnt make you dump. good luck

I wouldn't give too much credit to it if I were you, too much carbs and sugar. You need protein first, and well, the carbs and sugar could do you in...make you dump. The nutritent that's said is good for you in the chocolate, you can get from other foods as well, too.

If I get a chocolate craving that is the only kind that I ate before surgery, and I have tested it out now after surgery and no it did not make me dump but everyone is different truthfully it is not worth it.

I just ordered some protein bars that are devilishly like candy bars. I was totally craving sweets and I took just 2 or 3 bites of this if I was craving and it totally satisfied me. The total carbs and calories would probably hurt, but a couple bites won't. It satisfied my sweet tooth and gave me 6-7g of protein!
We all do what we gotta do!

I've tried chocolate but it doesn't give me the rush that it used to. I find that I really don't want chocolate anymore - I hope it stays that way.
