hi everyone!
As a previously consummate chocolate lover (especially galaxy milk chocolate) I have had a problem giving up chocolate. However, it is a case of retraining your taste buds AND the way we eat chocolate.
I now buy Aldis Moser Roth 70% chocolate and find that because it comes as 5 small bars this prevents the temptation to eat a whole big bar in one sitting.
Also, I only snap off a small piece and then let it melt in my mouth. I don't chew it and swallow it but let the chocolate just gradually melt on the roof of my mouth. The slow release of the intensity of the flavour of the chocolate means that my chocolate fix happens on a smaller amount of chocolate. Hope that makes sense! In fact just half or a third of one of these small bars eaten in this way is enough. It might sound a bit mercenary to eat chocolate in this way but as I am now unable to eat "normal' chocolate I really want to savour that chocolate taste when I do! As an aside, my partner bought me a small bar of galaxy the other day. I couldn't finish it as it was way to sweet which indicates I have retrained my tastebuds.
