I'd recommend giving it up altogether - it's obviously addictive!
I didn't have any for several months following diagnosis, and the cravings were really dying down - until someone bought me a bar :evil:
Now I have to buy a (sometimes two) bars of Sainsbury's, no added sugar 70% cacoa at 96p for 100g - thats 33.6g CHO per bar so 3.4 per square and rationed at one (OK occasionally 2) squares a day the cravings now have to be kept carefully under control
Perhaps I'll investigate Lindt if it's not too expensive - then I can have two squares everyday
But seriously - has anyone got the time to correlate all this chocolate information into a table so we can compare, CHO, Cacoa, source and price easily?
What I found more worrying in this thread was that Fructose can increase your Triglycerides - how come I'd never heard or been told that before - would the effect of the fructose be effectively included in the GI rating of different fruit or is it another decision area we have to take into account?
