I am less than eight stone and eat some plain chocolate every day after lunch. I enjoy that but it doesn't make me fat!

[Ergendl in reply to Lyd12]

I'm a little heavier but still in a healthy weight range, and enjoy 2 squares of dark chocolate after lunch too. Should be 60% + cocoa solids for the health benefits.

I am hooked on lindz orange intense and stock up when its on offer with my tesco delivery shop. Something i look forward to with an episode of the Bill after lunch. x

That does sound great but after several months on steroids I gained 2 stone in weight even though my eating did not increase and I just cannot seem to shift it even though I exercise every day so not sure I dare try it for fear of putting on even more weight. Will give it some more thought though.

At last some good news - I think!

Don’t think 🤔 just do the taste test, yum 😋

[peege in reply to zube-UK]

The Sainsbury nearby has Tony's Chocolonely (my utted favourite) on offer at the mo. A whole whopping £1 off a big bar . I have no self discipline though so I won't do it 🙊 as I'm trying to lose the half stone I've put on since xmas (back pain has stopped me in my tracks). 😘🤗

I love the Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate. I first discovered it in Holland and was thrilled to find it’s available in the U.K. too. It’s fairtrade too so it’s all good 👍

[zube-UK in reply to peege]

Thanks peege, I’ve never tried Tony’s Chocolonely, I will order from Sainsbury’s soon!see HH has given it 👍 too, what a great tip. Thanks also to 2greys, this is definitely something we must research thoroughly 😋

I cant eat bought chocolate even the dark stuff due to controlling diabetes with diet. (Just had latest result which puts me just back into pre-diabetes after being normal.)

So I make a cake with almond flour, eggs and loads of organic cacao powder sweetened with a little erythritol. Very chocolately and very yummy.

What a great message. Thanks 2g. I do consume a lot of 90% dark chocolate a day but milk chocolate would be tastier. Might trial it. I don’t seem to weight gain either
