Dark Chocolate Fights Hunger

Good News!!

While chocolate isn't great for your waistline (2 bites pack about 50 calories!)---DARK chocolate may help you feel fuller, according to the researchers at University of Copenhagen.
They found that people who ate dark chocolate had fewer cravings afterward than those who ate milk chocolate.

Why? Because the bitter taste might help the body regulate appetite, or its higher amount of cocoa butter (containing stearic acid which slows digestion) may make the stomach stay full longer!
