MY " I LOVE CHOCOLATE DIET"
MY "I LOVE CHOCOLATE" DIET
I really wanted to break my addiction to chocolate, but I have
read that chocolate is actually GOOD for you, releases
endorphins or something. I also wanted to eat healthy. I decided
to combine the two and see how it works. I figured, if a little
chocolate is good for you, a LOT of chocolate would be very good
for you, and on the other side of the coin, too much would make
me sick of it, hence breaking my addiction. I was sure this idea
would really work. (Funny, I got very sick from drinking too
much champagne once, and that did not stop me from consuming it
other times)... but that was not an addiction. My over
consumption and obsession with chocolate needed to be stopped.
As with all diets, they say, you need a game plan. I decided to
incorporate chocolate at every meal. And since I LOVE chocolate,
that would not be a problem. Snacks would also incorporate
chocolate. Imagine carrot sticks, not dipped in ranch dressing,
but Hershey Syrup... an omelet for breakfast with melted
chocolate chips. Getting enough fiber in one's diet is equally
important. Just mix your Grape Nuts with chocolate pudding.
Strawberries dipped in chocolate are VERY good... as are
bananas, peaches, and any number of things.
Day 1. Using the Atkins plan for high protein, and my idea of
chocolate... for breakfast I fried two scrambled eggs in
one-half stick of butter (fats are good for you too). I then
added grated chocolate and some fiber cereal to make it really
healthy. It looked pretty terrible, and did not taste too good
either, but, hey, what health food does?? I gagged it down,
followed by a glass of chocolate syrup laced orange juice,
(which wasn't too bad).
For lunch I tossed a delightful salad.
