When I was diagnosed as prediabetic I got a nutrition consult. When I asked her about what foods were to be avoided completely she gave me an interesting answer: “nothing”. Instead, she said, she advocates restraint. it works like this: try taking a small bite of your favorite chocolate – probably a peanut M&M in your case. The critical thing is to let it melt in your mouth and try to get every molecule of taste out of it. Really take a long time over this. Now repeat the process. By the third repeat you will notice that the flavor is not as robust as the first two times. Here is where you have a choice. You can eat more and more chasing after that flavor but really what has happened is that your taste buds have desensitized and you simply will not get that flavor again until things reset (some hours later). So the thing to do is put away the chocolate and then, perhaps the next day, you do it again. This, of course, requires a huge amount of self control. I have found that I can do it on non-emotional days but if I had a bad day and chocolate is in the house all bets are off!! Still it is an interesting idea. You get the taste but probably not enought sugar to be a problem. Perhaps a safe that opens once a day would be a good investment to go along with that chocolate.

65% chocolate and higher should not be chewed through, but must be enjoyed by letting the piece melt in your mouth. This way you will allow the different flavor notes appear. The experience will be much better if you don’t chew through it. Cacao (chocolate) is very healthy, but if you can’t get past the taste, well, thats just not fun.

Jessica, you are in for a treat. Obviously you haven’t been introduced to the right kind of chocolate yet. There is a dark chocolate so high in antioxidants, and so decadent, you will never feel guilty about eating chocolate again. This company has a patented process where they cold-press the cocoa beans, so 100 per cent of the antioxidants are preserved. Furthermore, there are no preservatives, no processed sugars, no bad fats, no caffeine and it tastes like the most decadent Belgium chocolate you have ever tasted. It comes in seven different varieties and you can check it out at: www.cocoa101.com. In fact, you can get three servings for only 100 low-glycemic calories. I probably have six to seven servings a day, everyday and I am pain-free from the arthritis in my hips. No more pain pills! The chocolate is one of the best anti-inflammatories known on the planet. I can give you some other websites to research if you want to email me from my website.

My take – Go BIG or Go HOME! If you are going to cheat…cheat right and have some DAMN GOOD CHOCOLATE! Buy the M&M’s…count the carbs…bolus correctly and enjoy!

We should organize a chocolate swap, where I give you hershey’s milk chocolate in exchange for all your lovely 60 percent cacao. (85 percent is too much even for me.) As for Oliver’s comment, I can agree with him on one important point: Starbucks coffee is nasty.
