Ignoramus2605 said:I happen to like chocolate. Lately, I have been eating unsweetened
chocolate (from the baking secion of the store, 2 net carbs per ounce,
no sugal alcohols etc), it does not seem to be doing any obvious
harm. Usually, 1 oz a day is what I eat, if I eat it at all. Since it
is concentrated, chocolate wise it may be equivalent to several ounces
of diluted "milk" chocolate. My question is, am I somehow "setting
myself up for failure", is there some good reason not to eat that
chocolate? One of the reasons why I eat it is that I do not get enough
sleep (due to having a certain project) and it keeps me up. Any
thoughts?
Sam's makes a semi-sweet chocolate chip that is 39% chocolate and is
very good for those that can practice portion control. I try to make
a 12 oz bag last about 30 days. Hershey's makes a similar bag of
dark chocolate chips.
I've been fortunate and not gained any weight doing this for a few
months, but be careful.
