Diet/How to lose weight without bonking

[Helen]

ahhhhhhhhhh
chocolate

Go for chocolate that is as pure as possible. Read the ingredients and make sure you can pronounce all of them. And go for a semi-sweet or a dark chocolate. It has more of the stuff that is good for you.

In the end, I don't know how much of it is the quality of the chocolate, or the otherwise healthy eating, but once I got used to this type of chocolate, I can make a bar last for a week or more!
And you can too!

Namaste,

I am sure I CAN'T but I will surely try.
I read somwhere that we really need chocolate and it should not be avoided because eaten in small quantities can bring us energy and other stuff important to our bodies ...

I noticed that when I eat good chocolate, even if I eat too much, my stomach doesn't feel upset. As for low-quality chocolate bars, I always feel strange after I eat a little too much than usual. I think this happens because of the hydrogenated oil ... at least this is what I read on another forum.

Yes but you will still gain weight even if its high quality chocolate so ... try to burn the calories from your chocolate otherwise ... your body weight will increase.

Just been reading through the threads ...
Gosh, I'm now sooo hungry and craving chocolate!
Another point I'd like to add - often our bodies think they need food, but what they really need is water. Especially after a long ride, it's so easy to become dehydrated, but our brains often translate this into needing food NOW!
Sometimes it's a combination of the two, but we go for the food, as psychologically we think we've earned it and that's what we crave.
Congrats to everyone who's slowly slogging away at the pounds and kilos.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is just being released here - I'm surrounded by Wonka Bars - my life is a living hell!
So glad to be back, amid women who understand !!
