You can only eat the bitter stuff to get the effects. I hate bittersweet and super dark chocolate. Really nasty stuff. Unless I use it in baking which means adding sugar. The sugar, of course, negates any benefits.
SHHHH!!! Don't tell me that!! ;)
The bitter stuff is my favorite.
I love 70% Dark Chocolate.
Guess I’m gonna be thin and healthy.
I promise if you develop a taste for the bitter super dark chocolate nothing else will take it’s place. Let it melt in your mouth and sip some water. Excellent. Don’t go for the high percentage stuff at first but you WILL work your way up to it.
It’s like learning to like beer.....you start out with the lighter kinds and work your way up.....we eat 85% Lindt Chocolate....at first it was “bitter”....it isn’t now. Whether it keeps you “thin” is, I believe, interesting. I wish I was thinner!
I am enjoying a piece of 100% chocolate as I type. Just pure baking chocolate, no other ingredient. I eat this health food every day, yum. :)
Funny thing, before I cut way down on the carbs overall, this stuff tasted bitter. But after drastically reducing sweet-tasting food items from my diet (and eating much more animal protein and vegetables), the bitter taste of foods went away. Not just chocolate, but all sorts of odd stuff [that I wasn’t trying to acquire a taste for], like the whitish leaves of lettuce near the core, other previously nasty-tasting greens, the black part of the skins on walnuts, black teas, strong coffee, and so forth.
I am a chocoholic so if I don’t have my daily ration of 100%, I will hunt down the sugared variety. And I can’t ration that kind at all!
