Snack alternatives like dried fruit or fruit and nut combinations will provide you with sufficient energy that you need to help you keep stress at work or the stress of personal relationships in check.

Chocolate Diet

Chocolate has always been contradictory to weight loss. However, new trends in dieting include chocolate, but it’s not what you think. You can’t just eat any kind of chocolate you put your hands on.

Basically, there are three types of chocolate, namely dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. The dark variant is considered as the healthiest type as it has the highest cocoa content. Cocoa is known for its antioxidants which provide tons of nutritional benefits.

Antioxidants play a big part in protecting the cells from damage, and new studies even show that it prevents certain diseases, particularly ones that affect the heart. They are also known to help fight the damaging effects of free radicals. So yes, cocoa, because of its antioxidant effects, can be a healthy addition to a weight loss plan.

Some diets require you to get rid of sweets altogether, but that abrupt change can lead to a dieting downfall. Most women crave chocolates but want to go on diets, so they deprive themselves of their cravings, which usually makes them break down and end up with unsuccessful diet plans.

While on a chocolate diet, make sure you consume other low-calorie but filling foods. Eat a lot of vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, among many others, as they contain minimum amount of calories. They have very high fiber contents which can help you feel full for longer periods of time. Not only that, they also aid in proper digestion. If you exercise a lot or have an active lifestyle, you may need additional calories. But never ever go on crash diets! Ever.

Keep your body hydrated at all times. Drink water all throughout the day. There are diets that require you to eliminate coffee from your diet as it induces cravings. However, there are people who just can’t live without caffeine in their systems. Just be moderate in your consumption.

Being on a chocolate diet still entails healthy eating and drinking plenty of water, just like any healthy diet programs. You don’t just get to be at your ideal weight, you also get to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.

Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?

Question by tomlawbcs: Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?
The making of the dough was not a problem. But I thought me and my daughter could make “decorative” Christmas cookies out of chocolate chip dough. I see now that this may be a problem.

Anyway, we have a boot-star-tree and do we use the ornaments to put the dough in and then leave them on while we cook the cookies or remove the ornaments?

I guess it all could work. But I can see now why sugar cookies and the like are more common for decorative cookies…

Best answer:

Answer by Emma
The cookies are going to spread and distort the shape you’re looking to create. You could bake the cookies by pressing all the dough into a baking sheet and then cutting the shape you want after they’ve cooked and cooled slightly. You can then outline and decorate the shape with some stiff frosting to make it more clear what the shape is.

Bring in some chocolate, of course!

Maybe once you get to modern chocolate, you can say, “And here is what chocolate has turned into today,” and then pass some out.
