Eat More Chocolate And Weigh Less..?
Dear Reader,
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? That is until you understand the science behind it. If you're trying to lose weight (and who isn't?) you might not have to ban chocolate from your diet. At least not dark chocolate...
A new study appearing in the Archives of Internal Medicine and funded by the U.S. government finds that subjects who ate chocolate a lot actually weighed less than people who reported eating it less often.
Sounds strange but there's solid data to back the claim. Using just about 1,000 healthy men and women, the researchers saw that those who reported eating chocolate 5 times per week had BMIs (body mass index) of about one point less, on average, than those who ate chocolate less often. One BMI point equals about 5 pounds using a woman who is 5'6" tall and weighs 125 pounds as an example. Different weights and heights will produce different numbers.
What's interesting is that the research team did look for other reasons that might explain the weight difference. Chocolate eaters didn't exercise any more than non-eaters. They didn't engage in other behaviors that might explain why they were thinner than those who ate less chocolate. The study was observational in nature, so it cannot prove that chocolate eating causes weight loss.
The findings just don't seem to make intuitive sense. Eating chocolate should have you gaining weight, not losing it. What's more, in the study, those who were eating a lot of chocolate also said they ate more calories in total as well as more saturated fats than those who consumed chocolate less frequently.
So, how can more calories equal less weight..?

Eat More Chocolate And Weigh Less..? Continued...
One possible explanation is that the calories in the chocolate are being offset
by some other ingredient that
might
speed metabolism.
Nutritionists not involved in the research are understandably skeptical of the
idea that chocolate brings down body weight. Perhaps eating chocolate is a marker
for an overall way of living and relaxed attitudes about eating that are healthy
for people according to Marion Nestle, Ph.D. MPH who is a professor of nutrition
and no relation to the chocolate company.
One expert who is willing to sing chocolate's weight loss praises is David Katz,
MD, MPH, director of the Yale Prevention Research Center. He says that dark chocolate
comes naturally with many things that make it a good choice for dieters.
- The bittersweet taste of dark chocolate actually works to suppress appetite,
where sweet tastes serve to encourage it.
- It's high in fat, and this slows digestion and might actually curb appetite
for a longer period.
- Dark chocolate is also a natural source of a small amount of caffeine, which
can speed up metabolism, helping your body burn more calories while at rest.
Katz also points out that the calories in chocolate are not free. You need to
account for them just as you would any other food you eat. No one is saying you
can eat chocolate and effortlessly lose weight - the idea is more complex than
that. You need to choose your chocolate wisely - resisting high fat and sugar
varieties and go dark (at least 60% cocoa content), keeping the portion small
- about the size of a postage stamp or a Hershey's Kiss.
To your good health,
