Ever wonder how you can eat chocolate and lose weight? One of the hardest parts of any diet is giving up chocolate. Yet so many weight loss books ask you to do that. Can you imagine giving up chocolate for the rest of your life? FAIL!  

The taste of cream and cocoa on the tongue is like a party in the mouth. And we love it. Though some people are meat and tater types, many of us are chocoholics. Yet the wrong chocolate can really pack on the pounds. But it has been given a bad reputation.

Believe it or not you can eat chocolate every day and lose weight. But you have to start thinking of chocolate differently. Many people think of chocolate as a fattening food that is bad for them, but chocolate can be a great addition to your diet.

Chocolate contains monounsaturated fat, also known as MUFAs. MUFAs, which are also found in nuts, olive oil and other foods, can provide the body with many healthy benefits. Among other things, they can help with good cholesterol, a healthier heart and give you a flatter tummy.

The key to use chocolate for weight loss is to pick the right chocolate. Dark chocolate has a high MUFA content so it can help give your body those healthy benefits it craves. (Have you ever noticed that when you eat sugar, you are hungry right after and want more? Sugar is addictive and not very satisfying. Sugary chocolate can kick off cravings for more chocolate, hwich helps explain chocolate's bad rep.)

If you upscale your chocolate to dark, you will find that you are more likely to be able to control your intake. You will be satisfied with less, and you will be giving your body beneficial MUFAs.

Read the label to make sure you're getting a high cocoa content bar. Look for chocolate with 70% cocoa or more. You can also make chocolate at home. Try using heavy ceramic cookware like Orgreenic and a hand blender, this will make the task easier and you can control what ingredients are added.

Another thing to try is using chocolate as a dip for fruits. Melt a little dark chocolate and dip berries in it. You get the yummy taste of chocolate and the tangy taste of the fruit. Fewer calories and delish!

By eating high-quality dark chocolate in moderation on a daily basis you will not only satisfy your cravings, but give your body what it needs -- and that is a win/win situation.
