Can you keep a healthy weight loss plan even if you eat chocolates? Mostly, people who are having their diets get rid of sweets because of the thinking that it can make them fat. But let me tell you a secret:

Studies have shown that consuming a small bar of dark chocolate everyday can reduce blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure. Dark chocolate has also been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by up to 10 per cent. <http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongnutrition/p/chocolate.htm>

Dark Chocolate

University of Copenhagen researchers found that eating dark chocolate can help regulate appetite. They theorize that it may be due to the bitter taste of dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has more cocoa butter, most of which is stearic acid that is known to slow down digestion, says the online Health Magazine. The Flat Belly Diet of Prevention magazine says monounsaturated fatty acids or MUFAs, the kind of fat found in dark chocolate actually keeps your belly flat. It recommends including dark chocolate in your everyday diet in controlled amounts.

But although chocolates are good, a lot is not better. Still, you must consume it with moderation. You can enjoy it, but you must also know the limitation and control.
