Tips to lose weight effectively.
Chocolate is often considered a “criminal” of many diets because it causes weight gain, but that does not mean you have to eliminate them from your life. Thanks to the variety in genres as well as processing methods, many types of chocolate will be the right choice for you who are looking to lose weight!
️❄️ Type 1: Chocolate contains cocoa
You already know that chocolate has many health benefits. But did you know that the secret of chocolate’s transcendent power lies in the cocoa bean?
In its purest form, with no added sugar or other ingredients, cocoa contains flavanols that have anti-inflammatory properties. These healthy nutrients help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes in the body. In addition, they also help the metabolism in the body to be smoother and faster, making it easier for you to lose weight in daily activities!
However, the biggest minus point of this cocoa bean is its characteristic bitter taste. Many chocolate manufacturers have chosen to add more flavors and other ingredients to chocolate to neutralize that bitter taste, making them suitable for more buyers. This inadvertently reduces the benefits of cocoa, especially its ability to reduce weight.
️❄️ Type 2: Low Sugar Chocolate
Sugar is the most worrying thing in a chocolate bar when you are trying to lose weight.
Sugar has the potential to wreak havoc on your body, causing weight gain, mood swings, and a drastic drop in energy levels. Consuming too much can also increase your risk of more serious health problems like diabetes and cancer.
Isabel Smith, registered dietitian, suggests: “Aim for 10 to 15 grams of sugar or less per serving. Extremely dense dark chocolate (with up to 88% cocoa, for example) will typically have about 5 grams of sugar per serving.”
❄️Type 3: Bitter chocolate
Bitter dark chocolate may not be popular with many people, but they are a “savior” for those who want to lose weight. The more cocoa the bar has, the more bitter it tastes – but they’re also better for your health and your waistline. “The higher the cocoa percentage, the better, but you’ll get some health benefits with 55 percent cocoa”, says Smith.
A little advice for those who want to eat bitter chocolates: slowly practice your taste buds! If you have never tried the bitter taste of pure chocolate that you eat into a bitter chocolate bar, you will have a like drink dark coffee without sugar and maybe you will completely lose your liking for that type of chocolate. However, if you eat it slowly in small pieces, you will feel after the bitter taste of dark chocolate, there is also a slightly sweet and sour aftertaste. In addition, combining pure dark chocolate with many other healthy ingredients such as nuts, fruits,… will also make it easier for you to get used to this new taste.
❄️Type 4: Small Size Chocolates
Even if you’ve chosen chocolates high in cocoa, low in sugar, and bitter, you still can’t eat uncontrollably! Chocolate is not a low-calorie food. Therefore, if you consume a lot of chocolate, no matter how healthy they are, your weight will still “go up”.
However, keeping your willpower over an entire bar of chocolate can be difficult, so choose chocolate bars in small sizes if you’re looking to lose weight. Small chocolates are also very suitable to “boost” more energy for you after long trips or after a long working day.
