Comments on: How to Eat More Chocolate and Drink More Wine Every Day http://www.marksdailyapple.com/chocolate-and-wine/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence.

In one hand a sugar free with mallitol dark bar. In the other a regular Lindt 85% Cocoa Bar. Guess which one had less carbs? The Lindt. More natural w/ high cocoa content is better. If you are already off sugar, the 85% bar won't seem bitter. Start with the 70% bar if you tend to favor a sweeter chocolate. A friend of mine once ate a 3 oz Mallitol bar, suddenly missed work spent the next day and a half with diarrhea and bad tummy cramping. If thats not body revolt I don't know what is. Oh, BTW, read your success story last night, completely motivated me. WELL DONE!! I was in World Market the other day with just the same dilemma. In one hand a sugar free with mallitol dark bar.

Would a bar sweetened with maltitol be healthier than a bar full of sucrose, on account of the reduced glycemic load?

Raw cocoa Stevia leaves raw crushed raw blueberries crushed almonds I am not sure the proportions my wife uses, but the product is to die for. Friends ask her all the time for more, thinking it is just a chocolate, blueberry, almond mixture, with some leaves in it..

What a relieve to finally go public with my nightly red wine and the darkest of chocolate habit. Yes, and every once in awhile I indulge in a lunchtime glass of wine, and I've been known to pop a dark chocolate square as a mid-afternoon pick me up. Count me out of the closet on this one! What's your opinion of MonaVie? For years I thought my two main guilty pleasures were something I had to hide.
