[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 381385, member: 56231"] Thundercat - it might be worth persevering. I started with 70%, and kept with that until it tasted really sweet. Now 70% tastes like a Milky Bar to me. Then I went up to 85% and now I have 90%. But I think the key is that you have to give it time. Also I found I preferred ones that had some additional flavour, eg my favourite is chocolate and orange. But like you, I really didn't like dark chocolate (not even Bourneville) at all at first. I stuck with it because any chocolate was better than none. And the big plus of very strong chocolate is that you really only need a tiny bit. I could never eat more than one square (and I often don't even eat that - sometimes I just break off half a square). I sued to eat between two and three bars of milk chocolate per day :( Type 2 on Metformin, diagnosed Jan 2013, ultra low carber, Hba1C at diagnosis 8% (11mmol), now between 5 and 6 mmol. 20kg lost so far :) [/QUOTE]
