Can I eat a bar of chocolate a day...?
and still lose weight if i'm eating sensibly?
Answers:
possibly.
studies have shown that dark chocolate can actually be good for you.
It provides antioxidants and can help lower blood pressure.
You are, however, NOT supposed to have chocolate with any milk, as the milk neutralizes the chocolate's health benefits.
And the darker, the better. Many chocolates come in different percentages of cocoa. The higher percentage, the better.
"Just remember to balance the calories. A 100-gram serving of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar has 531 calories, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. If you ate that much raw apple you'd only take in 52 calories. But then, you'd miss out on the delicious blood pressure benefit."
