Fast Weight Loss Tips
Chocolate is a favorite food of many. The average person in the United States devours around ten pounds of chocolate a year. Many women feel they need to give up chocolate or they won’t lose weight because the combination of fat and sugar is sure to pack on the pounds.
The key to eating chocolate and losing weight is to eat very fine chocolate. Poor quality chocolate is usually very high sugar and will make you crave more. Take a look at the ingredients list on most chocolate. Sugar is usually the first ingredient and other additives are usually included. This gives you a sugar rush so you reach for more. Not a good choice for a healthy lifestyle or permanent weight loss.
Quality chocolate is chocolate with a high cocoa content that lingers in your mouth after you have eaten it. The texture will be silky not grainy. Low quality chocolate will dissolve in your mouth quickly and the flavor will disappear almost right away. So if you eat a fine quality chocolate you will be satisfied with a small amount. If you eat a poor quality chocolate you are likely to reach for one bon-bon after another.
Picking good chocolate is like selecting a fine wine. You will want to taste and test. The best chocolate starts with fine ingredients; real vanilla, a higher cocoa content and quality cocoa beans. Take a look at your average American candy bar. Sugar is usually the first ingredient. The bar has a low cocoa content. Usually synthetic vanillin is used instead of the pricier and tastier vanilla. If nuts are included, even the quality of nuts will vary from one brand to the next. And don’t forget to look at the shelf life of a chocolate. Though some chocolates are stamped with sell by dates, these can be misleading. Some makers use dates that are so far off in the future the taste has long left the candy. Experience with different brands will help you choose the companies that date their chocolates honestly.
Once you have selected a chocolate, examine the finish it should be bright not mottled or uneven. Are you ready to take a bite? After a tiny inhale, bite off a small piece of the chocolate. The biting action will release the flavors in your mouth. Then slowly suck on the chocolate. When it is gone a delicious, lingering taste should remain with you. Note the bouquet of the chocolate, the nuances, tartness, sweetness. Once you become acclimated to the higher cocoa content of good chocolate it will be hard to go back to the sugary candy you used to eat.
When you select a good chocolate and eat it slowly, savoring it, you will not need to thrust handfuls of goobers down. You will enjoy the pleasure.
