Chocolate.

Do you believe chocolate is good for you? How much do you normally eat?

I still have chocolate left over from Easter.

I was once so desperate for chocolate that I opened a Christmas wrapped selection box up and ate the lot, then had to go to buy another one :-(

Im ashamed to say this was not an isolated incident.

I can get through a whole box of Lindt Lindor in one evening :o(

I love chocolate-I try to stick to 85% and above,as I have weaned myself away from sweet stuff...

....but sometimes being good goes out the window
Just before Christmas I fancied some 'nice' choccies for Christmas day. My daughter, who was visiting ,was going into the city centre,so I asked her to go to House of Fraser were they do lindor 'pick your own'. I asked her to get me a few of each variety in a bag.....I gave her a £20 note.......

She came back with £16.50 worth.....:-0
Needless to say-we ate the lot. Took a week.....mmmmmmm

I ask because i have a friend who craves for chocolate, whereas i wouldnt care if i never ate it ever again.
I know someone who used to be a nurse at the local surgery and she recommends every woman to eat ONE square of dark chocolate, every day so that they would never suffer from anaemia.

chocolate cravings are normally a symptom of a deficiency like magnesium, other 'chocolate' cravings are not actual chocolate cravings but sugar cravings, sugar is quite a powerful substance, I used to like chocolate but I very rarely indulge in it these days.

I think I eat enough chocolate-along with green leafy things-not to need magnesium. Now a sugar craving is another thing...;-(

Hi,Georgiesmum,I love Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate.I usually limit myself to six squares every evening but just reading about it has made me give in to temptation-won't take any tonight!

[Georgiesmum]

So how much does everyone eat of it on an average week?I dont even eat it every week., but many do.I used to know a young lad who his mum gave him a mars bar for his school packed lunch every day, nothing else.He had the same every day.
