Dark chocolate is loaded with antioxidants:

Due to the oxidative stress placed on the body, even working out can cause the formation of free radicals in the body.

These free radicals can attack the cells of the body, creating cellular damage that can lead to increased inflammation and premature aging.

One way to fight free radicals, and improve overall health, is through eating foods high in antioxidants, especially polyphenols and flavanols.

Did you know dark chocolate contains more polyphenols and flavanols than antioxidant rich berries such as açaí berries and blueberries?

Due to the high levels of antioxidants, dark chocolate can help expand the arteries, thus improving blood flow.

This not only helps improve performance, but it may also reduce muscle soreness, thus increasing recovery after a tough workout.

Dark Chocolate can also help you lose weight
Sounds to good to be true right?

Will Dark Chocolate Help You Lose Weight?

But not all chocolate labelled “dark chocolate” is the same
In order to get these health and weight loss benefits from dark chocolate, it should:

Contain at least 70% cocoa solids (the darker the better)
Be low in sugar
Avoid milk chocolate products
Not contain artificial flavors or chemicals
Avoid high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated fats
Just like with any packaged food, don’t just look at the big labels on the front of the package, read the ingredients list.

How much dark chocolate should you eat a day?
Just because it contains healthy minerals and antioxidants, it doesn’t mean you should eat the whole bar in one serving.

Dark chocolate is high in calories, so consumption should be moderated based on your weight loss calorie needs.

If weight loss is your goal, 1/2 to 1 oz of dark chocolate a day is fine.

It’s very rich, so eat a few squares, savor it, and store the rest for tomorrow’s tasty snack.

Not only will this help satisfy your cravings, dark chocolate may also enhance your mood due to increasing the happy neurotransmitter, serotonin.

So if weight loss is your goal, add in a daily serving of dark chocolate so you don’t feel deprived, get to the gym, and create that healthy calorie deficit.

And if you don’t like the taste of it, add it to your baking.

Healthy Chocolate Donuts!

In my our Team Live Lean group coaching site, we have multiple cooking video recipes that use dark chocolate to make donuts, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered raisins, and even chocolate brittle.

That recipe is actually included in our Team Live Lean meal plan that all our members get.

In fact, we just re-launched the 2.0 version of our new Team Live Lean mobile optimized platform.

Simply follow the workout of the day, follow the meal plan of the day and you are set.

If you haven’t joined the team yet, NOW is the time!

I’ll include a link in the video description below.

Thanks for watching and keep Living Lean!
