Throughout the centuries it has been used as treat, a status symbol, as medicine and as a method of currency. Today this tasty treat could be seen as universal pleasure. It is enjoyed by people of all ages and cultures. All over the world people have in common a love for its cocoa goodness.</p> </p> <p>The earliest evidence of chocolate dates back to the 7th century. At this time, the Mayans in the Yucatan region of Central America cultivated wild cocoa trees. The Mayans used the cocoa beans to make a cocoa drink and as a form of currency. As years passed, cocoa was combined with various spices to create drink to be enjoyed only by the elite. These early concoctions were billed as a divine drink that could allow a man to go a day or more without food as well as fight fatigue. Columbus was the first European to experience chocolate when he landed in Nicaragua on his fourth journey around 1502.</p> <span class="fullpost"> <p>It wasn't until the 17th and 18th centuries that the rest of Europe came to know chocolate. The first dedicated shop was established in 1657 in England by a Frenchman. His goal was to popularize it as a delight for many classes as opposed to just the elite. By 1750, many European coffee houses were offering cocoa creations to their customers. Throughout the 18th century, it came to be known, not only for its delicious taste, but also for its therapeutic value. People of the time began using chocolate as a treatment for stomach upset and other ailments. The United States finally got their first taste around 1765 when cocoa beans were brought to New England from the West Indies.</p> <p>The invention of the cocoa press was an important development in the evolution of chocolate. This invention by Dutchman, Hendrick Van Houten helped bring the price of cocoa down even lower that it already was. It also improved the quality of the product by allowing the beans to be ground to a finer degree. The smooth consistency of today's product is owed to the invention of the cocoa press. In 1847, shapes began to be molded. The creation of milk chocolate and the industrial revolution led to true mass availability. The quality has continued to improve to this day.</p> <p>Visit the Amber Lyn Chocolate Store for the best tasting <a href="http://www.amberlynchocolatestore.com">sugar free chocolate</a>.

Others feel it is just another "Hallmark" holiday where they are expected to do something for unknown reasons. Regardless of your hopes, expectations, or reservations about Valentine's Day, chocolate has long been a favorite gift for lovers.<br> <br>Since the days of the Aztecs chocolate has been used as a gift. Today a box of luxurious quality chocolate says a thousand "thank you's", "good luck", or "I love you". Chocolate can be given as a way of saying "congratulations", "I am sorry" or "get well soon". On Valentine's Day chocolate clearly says "I LOVE YOU!" Chocolate is more than food, it not only fills your belly but also makes you feel soooo good. Elaine Sherman wrote "Chocolate is heavenly, mellow, sensual, deep, dark, sumptuous, gratifying, potent, dense, creamy, seductive, suggestive, rich, excessive, silky, smooth, luxurious, celestial. Chocolate is downfall, happiness, pleasure, love, ecstasy, fantasy … chocolate makes us wicked, guilty, sinful, healthy, chic, happy." What more could you want to say to your lover on Valentines Day? Even the scientific name for the tree from which chocolate is derived, Theobroma cacao, translated from Greek, means "food of the gods".<br> <br>Why does chocolate evoke so many feelings and emotions for us? Chocolate has long been associated with passion, romance and love. This association may go all the way back to the Aztecs. They believed chocolate was a source of spiritual wisdom, incredible energy and elevated sexual power. Chocolate was widely used as a nuptial aid and was widely served at wedding ceremonies. The Aztecs did not know chocolate as we do today; they consumed the cocoa as a drink. Reports indicate that the Emperor Montezuma consumed large quantities of the drink every day and always fortified himself with a cup before entertaining his harem. The explorer Cortes reported to Carlos I of Spain that chocolate is "… the divine drink which builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink enables a man to walk for a whole day without food." From the earliest times, chocolate was considered a substance of power and a source of vitality.<br> <br>Chocolate has been a subject of study since the first shipment from Veracruz arrived in Spain in 1585. But modern science has made some interesting findings that may help explain our lust for quality chocolate. Chocolate contains organic substances known as alkaloids. The most important of these substances is theobromine, which works as a stimulant to the kidneys. Stimulants in chocolate also affect the central nervous system, with effects similar to caffeine, which is also present in chocolate. A chocolate bar may contain as much as 200 mg of theobromine but only about 25 mg of caffeine. Another important substance found in chocolate is phenylethylamine, which is part of a group of chemicals known as endorphins. Endorphins have an effect similar to amphetamine and are found naturally in the human body. When endorphins are released into the bloodstream, the mood is lifted and feelings of positive energy are reached. The sensation known as "runners high" is caused by endorphins released during exercise. Phenylethylamine levels in the brain have also been linked to "falling in love". One more chemical found in chocolate is seratonin. Seratonin is known for its calming properties. The presence of these chemicals may explain the multitude of feelings chocolate evokes.<br> <br>Debra Waterhouse, author of Why Women Need Chocolate, conducted a survey and found: 97% of women reported cravings, 68% of which are for chocolate, 50% would choose chocolate over sex, and 22% were more likely than men to choose chocolate as a mood elevator. These findings could easily be interpreted as a result of how chocolate makes us feel. I don't know why more women choose chocolate than men, for I am a man and I love chocolate.<br> <br>Critics would say that the benefits of eating chocolate are small when compared to the sugar and fat contained in a chocolate bar. The best chocolate, dark chocolate with high cacao butter content has no added fat, as well as a high percentage of cacao solids and correspondingly less sugar. Although chocolate will never be considered a health food based on its nutritional value, it is still good for you! Good for your heart and soul-anything that helps relieve stress and makes you feel so good must be.<br> <br>Receiving a nicely wrapped box of chocolates causes a sense of anticipation. The pleasure of unwrapping the box, the sensual smell, lifting the soft seductive papers, the look of the smooth dark chocolates. When it finally passes your lips and starts to instantly melt filling your mouth with exquisite pleasure. The taste and smell flood your senses with overwhelming ecstasy. Eating it slowly, taking time to enjoy and savor every bit.

I&#39;ve<br>seen many fountains with tiers upside down creating pools of<br>chocolate).<p>2) You need a level surface! I&#39;ve done chocolate fountains on<br>practically 15% gradients and its a nightmare. Make sure the venue<br>supplies you with a sturdy, flat table on a flat surface.<p>3) The new mini chocolate fountains have adjustable feet. Its mightily<br>important these are just perfect.<p>4) Turn Chocolate Fountain heat to 90 on the dial!<p>Now, its time to melt the Chocolate, and this is key:<p>5) Use 35% Coca Content Curvature Chocolate chips.<p>6) Place 1KG of said chips in a container, and cover with 100ml of<br>Sunflower (its better then vegetable) oil.<p>7) Place in microwave at 500W for 6 minutes. Stir every 2 minutes<br>until purely melted.<p>8) Any blackening of the Chocolate hints that its burnt, discard this,<br>its useless.<p>9) Don&#39;t re-use your Chocolate!<p>Time to pour the chocolate into the fountain. Make sure you&#39;ve put<br>enough in (read your fountains instruction manual) and then turn on.<p>10) As the chocolate fountain reaches the top tier. Turn the Chocolate<br>Fountain off! Leave for one minute. This will get rid of any air<br>bubbles on the auger.<p>Turn the Chocolate Fountain back on and BAM! A Perfect flowing<br>Chocolate Fountain. If the chocolate ever seems to be parting or be<br>leaning to one side then simply wedge some cardboard under the<br>fountain to get it level.<p>And that&#39;s the 10 secrets to Chocolate Heaven.<p>Gary Porter is a Chocolate Fountain Fanatic!

For women all over the world, deciding the worlds finest chocolate, can be a difficult thing. But are there health benefits? Before whizzing off exchanging chocolate chip cookie recipes, let's think about the symptoms of breast cancer, and ask ourselves if these health benefits may be of use to us.<br /><br />Chocolate models of yumminess can be full of antioxidants, due to the beans being from the Cacao tree. However the actual amount of antioxidants available to help us, depends on the processing having been done. We need these antioxidants to help control and neutralise damaging free radicals in our body. Some cheaper commercial brands can be found to be overly processed, therefore reducing antioxidants we can utilise.<span class="fullpost">Dark chocolate candy is the preferable type to have. It has a higher amount of antioxidants available due to the higher cocoa content. When you choose your favourite rich indulgence, aim for 70% cocoa. It can taste stronger and almost bitter to some, but you want and need less of it. Having all these anti cancer compounds and antioxidants in your body is fantastic! Not only may they help your body generally, but they may help your body resist breast cancer.<br /><br />Keep an eye on the sugar and fat content of your choice. And don't think you need to finish the complete bar! With fuller flavours, often a smaller portion is enough to satisfy you. Forget family battles over the chocolate war! Take your time to enjoy your version of the worlds finest chocolate. Whatever your choice is, remember to appreciate its taste, aroma and enjoy, knowing that you may be helping your body at the same time. And what about me? Well, I intend on having a piece of dark chocolate in a moment, along with a glass of red, and will put my feet up and enjoy getting my dose of antioxidants - I will walk our dog later!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YeMERKM40NQ/SLKW3r4oYKI/AAAAAAAAADU/hbYNutXYF8c/s1600-h/coke_chocolate2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YeMERKM40NQ/SLKW3r4oYKI/AAAAAAAAADU/hbYNutXYF8c/s200/coke_chocolate2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238415200002531490" border="0" /></a><br />Suzanne Early<br />http://www.early-detection-for-breast-cancer.com/health-diet-fitness.htm</span><br /><p><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/chocolate00-20"><b>Chocolat4u Store </b> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">See More chocolate </span><span class="small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></span></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101080478300596079-572875451091102999?l=chocolate-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://chocolate-4u.blogspot.com/2008/08/chocolate-models-of-yumminess-may-help.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (racha)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101080478300596079.post-1832343785487919168Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:48:00 +00002008-08-10T09:55:42.909-07:00Chocolate Review<div id="item"><br /><div class="image"><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31h8jmzjlvL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Chocolate Delights - Over Night Shipping Only - Large (Large Pictured) - Bits and Pieces Gift Store" border="0" /></div><br /><div class="brand">Binding: Misc.<br />Manufacturer: Bits and Pieces Gift Store<br /></div><b>Product Description:</b>NOw available for standard and expiediated Shipping please see other listing. 9.5 Double Chocolate Truffles,<br /><div class="review">14 oz Chocoate fudge pound cake,<br />2 Gourmet Chewey Chocolate brownies,<br />Golden Walnut Fudge filled cookies 6.1 oz,<br />Walkers Chocolate chip shortbread cookies,<br />2 Sherwood Choc.

When looking at this situation and how we, as Americans, love our cocoa indulgences, there seems to be no stopping this favoritism from spreading and continuing. And there is quite a good reason behind it and it's more than simple justification through sweet, savory taste. The reason why so many of us will now and continually enjoy the pleasures that chocolate brings is because there is quite an assortment in terms of cocoa offerings.<br /><br />Types and Tastes On Various Levels Add To The Appeal<br /><br />Chocolate is not boring. And it is far from mundane. It is full of color, form, taste, health and other assorted possibilities. And thus, this is where the appeal of chocolate is harnessed and is spurred to continue onward, especially in extending it's ever-sweetened reach. All types of cocoa-enthusiasts are more than willing to embrace such variety, too. For the individuals who enjoy the melted sweetness in it's pure, literally untouched form to those persons who prefer the sugar-infused types of chocolates, and for all those in between, there is a chocolate out there to suit those individualistic needs.<span class="fullpost">Main Types of Chocolate For All Sorts of People<br /><br />Chocolate is made and comes in a few typical forms: white, milk, semisweet, bittersweet and unsweetened. Each will obviously vary in the way in which they are made, appear, packaged, how they taste and so on. Yet, what is universal for all these types is that they are differentiated in terms of the cacao involved in the process of making the chocolate. Being produced with ordinary cacao beans (which are known for being mass-produced and noticeably cheap), specialty cacao beans (which have characteristic aromatic and expensive traits) or of a combination of the previously mentioned two are commonly used in creating all types of chocolate.<br /><br />And depending on how much you're willing to spend, as well as taking into account how your taste buds are in terms of chocolate variety and considering your overall knowledge of chocolate itself, you can get downright specific when choosing which sweet treat is wanted or truly your favorite.<br /><br />Flavor and Price - All A Matter In How It's Made<br /><br />Know that chocolate is affected monumentally in overall flavor and price based on a few factors. It is all dependent on the ingredients and overall composition of the mixture, where the used cacao beans are harvested from, how they are treated (or roasted) and the amount of (or lack of) additives that are thrown into the chocolate mixture.<br /><br />Realize that the chocolate we eat, or are accustomed to eating, does not taste the way it should - which is more truly bitter than anything. We consume sweet chocolate, or milk chocolates. Thanks to cocoa butter, milk, substantial amounts of sugar and other added flavorings, the chocolate that most (Americans) assign their taste buds to is in fact not the true rich, bitter and actual true-to-cocoa-bean chocolate flavor.<br /><br />Just know that not all chocolate is the same. There is a wide-range of options with varying tastes and prices to boot. So, do some experimenting on those taste buds and see where your chocolate favoritism is directed toward.<br /><br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=E.S._Cromwell</span><br /><p><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/chocolate00-20"><b>Chocolat4u Store </b>&nbsp;<font color="#000000">See More chocolate </font><span class="small"><font color="#000000"></font></span></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101080478300596079-9081865044869676138?l=chocolate-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://chocolate-4u.blogspot.com/2008/08/chocolate-in-different-forms-and-tastes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (racha)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101080478300596079.post-8724590328112854197Thu, 08 May 2008 20:59:00 +00002008-05-08T14:02:07.044-07:00Chocolate ArticlesChocolate RecipesGo to any restaurant and four out of five desserts on the menu will include chocolate. Go to any outdoor picnic or get-together and the most common desserts will also contain chocolate, whether brownies, cakes or cookies. Even when you want a ready made healthy snack, many trail mixes or granola bars are loaded with some kind of chocolate chip. What torture it is for those, like my husband, who are allergic to this wonderfully intoxicating comfort food. You can, of course, substitute chocolate with carob chips and carob powder. Place the chips in a trail mix and they are tolerable. But replacing them in a chocolate chip cookie recipe, does not even come close.<br /><br />The good news is that carob powder is healthier for you than cocoa powder. It has about 115 times less fat, twice as many carbohydrates and calcium and 70 times less sodium. The bad news is that you need to use one and a half to two times as much carob powder to get the taste that you crave. Unlike the chips, the powder comes closer to tasting like the real thing even to those, like me, who swear they do not like the taste of carob. Keep in mind that carobs, like cocoa, contain the same tannins that are bad for young children.<span class="fullpost">Although this first recipe takes a little time, it is still easy to do and well worth the effort. I do recommend, and finally broke down and bought, a 9-inch square pan. An 8-inch square pan keeps the dough too moist. The recipe allows for variations. Feel free to use cherry, coffee, yogurt, peanut butter, cinnamon or mint-flavored chips or dried cherries and a complementary extract (instead of the almond extract), depending upon what you like. During the summer use a toaster oven and bake this outdoors. It works just fine, although you may want to add another five minutes to the baking time.<br /><br />BROWNIES Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour a 9 inch by 9 inch pan.<br /><br />Mix and set aside:<br /><br /> 1/2 cup all purpose flour,<br /> 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt.<br /><br />Beat and set aside:<br /><br /> 3 oz. cream cheese (softened) and<br /> 1/4 cup sugar.<br /><br />Add to the cream cheese mixture:<br /><br /> 1 egg,<br /> 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and<br /> 1/2 tsp almond (or other) extract and stir in<br /> 1/3 cup of your favorite flavored chips or dried cherries.<br /><br />Mix:<br /><br /> 1/2 cup of carob powder and<br /> 1/2 cup melted margarine or butter.<br /><br />Add:<br /><br /> 1 cup sugar,<br /> 2 eggs (beaten) and<br /> 1/2 tsp vanilla.<br /><br />Add the flour mixture to the above and pour half the carob mixture into the bottom of the floured pan. Pour the cream cheese filling over this and then the remaining carob mixture on top. Use a spoon to swirl the colors together and bake 35-40 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean. Cut into squares.<br /><br />NO BAKE COOKIES This should already be on your list of summer recipes. Makes about 24-30.<br /><br />Mix and cook on a stove top:<br /><br /> 3/4 cup sugar,<br /> 1/4 cup carob powder,<br /> 1/4 cup milk and<br /> 1/4 cup butter or margarine.<br /><br />Cook a minute after it boils. Then add:<br /><br /> 1/2 tsp vanilla,<br /> 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter<br /> 1 1/2 cups oatmeal and<br /><br />Stir well, drop by teaspoonfuls on wax paper and chill till firm. A cookie scoop works perfectly for this. There are many substitutions you can try, including smooth peanut butter and sunflower seeds or coconut flakes. I have even used cereal crumbs from the bottom of the boxes, which I save for emergencies or when I run low on oatmeal.<br /><br />My husband no longer has to deny himself the rich, yummy and addictive flavor of chocolate.

An individual has the ability to make perfect chocolate candy if they only give it a try.<br /><br />Sometimes, however, problems can come up that can affect even the most experienced candy maker. A good chocolate candy maker can end up with a bad batch of sweet things, however they will continue to try to produce the best candy that they are able to.<br /><br />Ensure Dry Chocolate Mold<br /><br />Some of the common problems that may occur in chocolate candy making has primarily to do with molded candy. One of the initial things you must do when you are using molds is to ensure that they are totally dry prior to adding the chocolate.<br /><br />When molds are not completely dry, white markings may occur because water has become trapped inside. Some other issues are cracks within the chocolate when it gets too cold, or the chocolate candies end up being dulled when they get out of the mold. This is ordinarily caused because the chocolate is not properly tempered before pouring in the chocolate candy molds.<span class="fullpost">Effective Chocolate Tempering<br /><br />One of the major issues when it comes to producing chocolate is tempering. Tempering is when the chocolate is heated so that it will melt. If a person making chocolate tempers at too high a temperature, the result would likely be the chocolate becoming crystallized causing hard sugar crystals to take form.<br /><br />This will create chaos and then you will most likely throw the chocolate away which is now burned away. Other issues dealing with tempering are gray streaks and blooming. You can learn more about tempering and the best ways to keep the chocolate experience going as smoothly as possible by visiting the baking911 website can be helpful. Candy making 101 is a definite source for those who wish to avoid major errors when creating their unique, chocolate candies gifts, such as white chocolate candy or perhaps dark chocolate candy.<br /><br />Chocolate candy making has been around for many generations.

Cocoa is the richest source of flavonoids when cold processed, and since cocoa is the main beverage of the Kuna, they probably have the most flavonoid-rich diet of any population.<br /><br />For both women's health and men's health, dark, unprocessed chocolate, eaten or taken in a drink up to three times a day is showing numerous health benefits for the cardiovascular system, brain function, energy and stamina, and insulin sensitivity.<br /><br />Cocoa in its unprocessed form has the highest anti-oxidant rating of any food in the world. Anti oxidants are critical in combating free radicals - one of the leading causes of disease and death.<span class="fullpost">What is a Free Radical?<br /><br />A free radical is an atom with an unpaired electron in the outermost shell. Say you have a bare piece of steel and you leave it outside for a while. What's going to happen to the piece of steel? It's going to rust. This is called oxidation.<br /><br />Our bodies go through the same process every day. As we breathe, eat, sleep and exercise, our body experiences oxidation. This is the cause of aging and more than 200 degenerative diseases. With the help of antioxidants, you can greatly reduce the number of free radicals in your body.<br /><br />What are Antioxidants?<br /><br />Antioxidants are molecules that can prevent the damaging effects of excessive amounts of free radicals in the body by neutralizing and destroying them.<br /><br />Antioxidants are measured by an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale, per 100 grams of weight. Using this scale, the antioxidant capacities of different foods can be measured. The USDA recommends an intake of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC daily. If we compare the ORAC score of unprocessed cocoa to other foods, it's immediately apparent how valuable this is for daily health.<br /><br />ORAC Scores for Common Foods<br /><br />Unprocessed Cocoa Powder: 26,000 ORAC<br /><br />Acai Berry: 18,500 ORAC<br /><br />Prunes: 5,770 ORAC<br /><br />Raisins: 2,830 ORAC<br /><br />Blueberries: 2,400 ORAC<br /><br />Spinach: 1,260 ORAC<br /><br />Red Grapes: 739 ORAC<br /><br />All Chocolate Is Not Created Equal<br /><br />The health benefits ascribed to chocolate relate nearly exclusively to dark, bittersweet-tasting chocolate and to products with a cocoa content of 60% or more. As a general rule, the darker the chocolate, the more likely it is to offer health benefits. Because polyphenols are found in the cocoa bean but not in the milk, cream, sugar, waxes, fillers, fats and preservatives, the darker the chocolate the better. Also, look for chocolate products that are processed without "dutching" or alkalinization. These processes remove a significant portion of the antioxidant compounds in natural cocoa. The cocoa beans should also have been cold-pressed without heating; the heat also destroys cocoa's polyphenols and flavonoids.<br /><br />We no longer need to feel guilty for eating what we all love, chocolate. Take a bite of that dark healthy chocolate three or more times a day - it will contribute to ongoing health!<br /><br />Chris Robertson is an author of Majon International, one of the worlds MOST popular internet marketing companies on the web.

The amount of cocoa butter and sugar can affect the texture and taste of chocolate—from bitter to very sweet. Below is a quick guide to the most popular kinds of chocolate used in baked goods.<br /><br />** UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE – Unsweetened chocolate contains nothing but pure chocolate and cocoa butter. There’s no sugar added. This chocolate is dark in color and has a strong flavor.<br /><br />** UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER – Unsweetened cocoa powder is pure chocolate that’s had a majority of the cocoa butter removed.<br /><br /><span class="fullpost">** SEMISWEET AND BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE – Semisweet and Bittersweet chocolate contains at least 35% pure chocolate. Cocoa butter and sugar have been added. This type of chocolate is often used in cookies and can be used interchangeably.<br /><br />** MILK CHOCOLATE – Milk chocolate contains at least 15% of pure chocolate, and is mixed with cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids. It has a creamy texture and is often used to make chocolate candy.<br /><br />** WHITE CHOCOLATE – White chocolate is unique in that it contains no pure chocolate. However, it does have cocoa butter. Other ingredients are sugar and milk solids. When buying white chocolate for baking, be sure to check the label first to avoid confusing it with other similar looking white baking products.<br /><br />** SWEET CHOCOLATE – Sweet chocolate contains at least 15% pure chocolate. Other ingredients are sugar and cocoa butter. Use sweet baking chocolate when you want your baked goods to have a rich chocolate flavor, without the bitterness of other types of chocolate.<br /><br />© Donna Monday<br /><br />Brownies, Cheesecake, Fudge and more . . . http://www.best-brownie-recipes.com<br /> <br /></span><br /><p><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/chocolate00-20"><b>Chocolat4u Store </b>&nbsp;<font color="#000000">See More chocolate </font><span class="small"><font color="#000000"></font></span></a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/101080478300596079-2121626501897092260?l=chocolate-4u.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://chocolate-4u.blogspot.com/2008/03/sweet-gourmet-baking-chocolate-guide.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (racha)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101080478300596079.post-780351030900539576Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:04:00 +00002008-02-11T14:06:49.799-08:00Chocolate ArticlesWhen it comes to temptation, nothing packs a punch like chocolate. For centuries, chocolate has been loved by the people of the world, from drinking it in cocoa to eating it in bars. So what is a woman who wants to lose weight supposed to do about the delicious box of chocolates she receives from her true love?<br /><br />If you enjoy your chocolate in moderation and cut back on other calories throughout the day to compensate, you'll be fine. Think of moderation as one or two truffles. Period. Not one or two truffles a day for the entire month of February. Now for many women trying to lose weight, having a pound of chocolate on the kitchen counter will not work. The temptation is far too overwhelming. So here's some advice about what to do with your chocolate love gifts:<span class="fullpost">1. Eat only dark chocolate. Give all your milk and white chocolate pieces away to your skinny friends. Enjoy dark chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa. Research shows that flavonoid-rich foods like dark chocolate may keep high blood pressure down and decrease your risk for heart disease. So as long as you're indulging, make it dark chocolate.<br /><br />2. Give yourself a chocolate allowance. Enjoy 2000 calories worth of chocolate throughout your Valentine's celebrations, or have five pieces of chocolate, or one piece of cake. Decide beforehand what you are going to do. Indulge all at once by ordering that rich cake for dessert on Valentine's Day or savor your chocolate over a longer period of time (like one piece of chocolate, five days in a row). But after you have your allowance, you are done. Finished. Just like when you were a kid and your parents gave you a dollar a week, once the dollar was spent, you didn't have money to buy anything else.<br /><br />3. Get creative with the leftovers. Chances are you're going to have some chocolate left after you've had your allowance. You can wrap chocolate pieces and give them away to your friends and neighbors with notes of appreciation. Or if your truffles came from your husband who doesn't really want to see his hard earned money going to buy chocolates for the neighbors, you can put the chocolate in the freezer and have a celebration when you hit your goal weight.<br /><br />4. Ask your family for help. Tell your husband you would love to get some chocolate for Valentine's Day but just a little bit. Ask for something without calories like flowers.<br /><br />When you focus on the true source of love in your life, the chocolates you see lining the supermarket shelves will take a backseat this Valentine's Day. Be moderate with chocolate but lavish in showing love to your friends and family!<br /><br />Today's Action Step: What will you do to indulge smart this Valentine's Day?<br />Arlene Pellicane, mother of a toddler and infant, helps women lose their baby weight and thrive as wives and mothers.

Recent studies shown that some chocolates can actually have positive health effects. But these aren't the name-brand chocolate bars you would find at your local grocery store.<br /><br />An internationally recognized expert in the field of alternative medicine focusing on diet and nutrition, Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, has studied the properties and benefits of dark chocolate and feels the proper dark chocolate should be a part of our daily diet.<br /><br />"Chocolate is made from the beans of the cacao tree, Theobroma Cacao," says Scott-Mumby. He explains that plant flavanoids are commonly known for their antioxidant activity. "A small bar of chocolate can contain as many flavanoids as six apples, as four and a half cups of tea or two glasses of red wine." Dark chocolate also can be an effective apatite suppressant and aid in weight loss.<span class="fullpost">Properly processed dark actually provides great benefits without the unhealthy ingredients that are often included in the common chocolate bar. Good dark chocolate can help you lose weight; help thin you blood, improve your mood and can actually address ant-aging and has a number of other significant health benefits.<br /><br />I one case dark chocolate lover Charlotte Palmer started dieting with her husband. She decided that The Doctor's Chocolate was going to be a treat that she could eat that would help her suppress her appetite. After four months she lost 50 pounds and is continuing to follow her diet. "Eating The Doctor's Chocolate has helped me along because it has kept me from eating other junk food, it has helped suppress my appetite, and it has helped me to remain calm and not so stressed when you're missing out on all the other treats," comments Palmer.<br /><br />The Doctor's Chocolate a healthy chocolate product new to the market is a mere 20 calories per piece, it is diabetic safe and because it is not weighed down with all the sugars and milk that processed chocolate is famous for, it actually is metabolized slowly and leaves you feeling satisfied after only a couple of pieces.<br /><br />Instead of sugar this chocolate is sweetened by a sugar alcohol called Xylotol, recognized by the FDA as a safe non-sugar sweetener and has no trans fat. Be careful of products containing synthetic or chemical sweeteners such as sucralose or aspartame. When choosing your chocolate treat make it dark Chocolate with only natural products, without additives, preservatives or coloring.<br /><br />Enjoy your healthy dark chocolate and eat all you want; now you know dark chocolate can be good for you!<br />Jan Hrkach is an advocate of health, you are what you eat.
