Description: "An innovative plan that teaches readers how to lose weight by indulging in a "guilty" pleasure: chocolate. Dispelling the myth that chocolate is just a "junk food," Dr. Will Clower uses cutting-edge research to highlight the health benefits of consuming chocolate on a daily basis. Readers will learn how the antioxidants found in chocolate can boost metabolism and how, by eating chocolate in specific ways, they can pull their "sweet tooth" so they eat less sugar and control cravings. Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight features the Chocolate Challenge--an 8-week, science-based plan designed to help readers relieve stress, promote heart health, lower blood sugar, stop cravings, increase metabolism, and shed pounds. Featuring a 6-week meal plan and more than 50 delicious chocolate recipes, Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight contains meal options for days when readers can't get enough of their favorite flavor, as well as times when they may want to hide chocolate in other foods while still taking advantage of its health benefits. The book also includes information on which chocolate provides the most health benefits and weight loss and the optimal amount of daily chocolate intake. Complete with stories and tips from real people who have tried the plan and lost more than 75 pounds, readers can finally have their chocolate and eat it too!"--
