Around here, we like to scream that dark chocolate is a health food!
We can regale you with the scientific studies that conclude dark chocolate aids in reducing depression and lifting one’s mood, helps improve blood flow and brings down high blood pressure, lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, and maybe even protects your skin against too much sun.
But there’s also at least one (admittedly unscientific) example of Rescue Chocolate’s efficacy in slimming the self down to summer body proportions. Look here:
The photo on the left shows yours truly selling her favorite product while layered up with wintertime padding. The photo on the right shows the same RC hawker about 40 pounds lighter. Believe what you wish about those pesky calories and carbs, but in my opinion these weight-loss results can be achieved utilizing my special at-least-one-chocolate-bar-a-day diet!
And sometimes, one bar per day doesn’t even do it. I have been known to supplement with the odd truffle or mini bar here and there. And maybe a Like White bar too, because it is a totally different food group, right?
Of course, taking the dog for numerous walks everyday is helpful as well. And yes, I do pay attention to the calories of my chocolate indulgences, which are not horrendous:
Bananas Foster Dogs 280
Calico Coconut Rum 80
Cookies ‘n Cream (bar) 210
Fakin’ Bacon 330
Fancy Fruit 200
The Fix 360
Forever Mocha 320
Foster-iffic Peppermint 350
Grand Champion 450
Mission Feral Fig 290
Peanut Butter Pit Bull (full size) 350
Peanut Butter Pit Bull (mini) 85
Pick Me! Pepper 320
Quinoa Crunch 200
Salted Caramel Bow Wow Bon Bon (single) 30
Wild At Heart (single) 70
So if you’ve got anything to lose–or even if you don’t–I heartily recommend the daily RC chocolate diet! If you don’t drop any pounds with this regime, at least you’ll have a delicious time trying.
