Eat Chocolates To Beat Bulges
Not just that but it also lowers the cravings for sweet and fatty food. To compare the affects of the two verities of chocolates, 16 young and healthy men of normal weight who all liked both dark and milk chocolate took part in a so-called crossover experiment. This meant that they reported for two separate sessions, the first time testing the dark chocolate, and the second time the milk chocolate.
The participants were asked to fast beforehand and were told to consume 100g of chocolate within 15 minutes. The calorific content was recorded to be the same. For the next 5 hours the individuals were asked to register their appetite every half hour, i.e. their hunger, satiety, craving for special foods and how they liked the chocolate.
Two and a half hours after eating the chocolate, participants were offered pizza ad lib. They were instructed to eat until they felt comfortably satiated. After the meal, the individuals" calorie intake was registered. The results were significant. The calorie intake at the subsequent meal where they could eat as much pizza as they liked was 15 per cent lower when they had eaten dark chocolate beforehand.
The participants also declared that consuming dark chocolate made their cravings less for sweet and fatty items. So in order to beat the bulges due to heavy feasting this Christmas, grab some dark chocolates, as they not only provide healthier fatty acids but also antioxidants.
