chocolate

Hi folks, Was just wondering about something. I have varicose veins, a few spidery ones which don't matter, and a few deeper ones... Those deeper, bigger ones hurt every now and again, get inflamed or something. They hadn't for quite a while though. But... A week ago our cat was put to sleep...

While we were visiting with my mom yesterday, she came up with a whole box of chocolate praliné's. I haven't lived in Tilburg for well over a decade now, so I didn't catch the developments at what used to be my childhood idea of heaven; Chocolatier Boulanger, with it's large glittering chandlier...

Hi Folks, Well, I'm about 7 months on from my initial diagnosis of pre-diabetes (at the 43 mark) noted on an Hba1c test taken because I was having episodes of feeling faint and spaced out (usually when out and about, shopping) - and also mornings when I was struggling to get going, with just no...

Hi, my name’s Mel and I’m a chocoholic. Many of us know and love the Lindt 99% or even the 100% Hotel Chocolat loveliness, but it’s expensive and not always easy to get hold of, for me at least. So in need of a chocklit fix this evening, and without anything chocolatey in the gaff, I tried...

Just taken myself back to this website after falling heavily off the band waggon a while back. My downfall has always been my sweet tooth, I have been doing the online grocery shopping just now, all geared towards my new diabetic diet. They have low carb atkins chocolate bars etc... and am I...

:***:Right now i would kill for a chocolate bar:woot: , i have been on this veggie diet for a week now and every now and again i hang out for some sort of sugar Last night i was even going to walk to the 711 to get a chocolate bar at midnight but on seeing a few drunks shouting in my street i...

My mum is a newly T1 diabetic. Were still getting used to the changes and one of those is chocolate, she knows she is allowed chocolate as long as she take the right insulin but last night after tea she decided she would have a small piece and it send her sugar levels through the roof! She went...

Im a couple of weeks into my new LCHF diet, and seriously missing chocolate! :) Has anyone heard of or tried Pundits chocolate? Its still not great (19g carbs per 100g) but not as bad as the "real thing" and was wondering if anyone had tried it or if there are any hidden drawbacks to having it...

I was asked on the what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-number-this-am thread to post my wife's Low Carb Chocolate Cake recipe. It's really really good, even if it does use an unorthodox main ingredient of Black beans. Now honestly, she altered an american recipe she found online to suit, and...

Easter Sunday was lovely, with family and friends round for a proper roast dinner. There were loads of chocolate eggs on the go, and only a few "sorry, couldn't find a diabetic chocolate egg for you" type comments. The wine was flowing freely, and only a couple of "would you like coffee, or...

Has anyone else been bad good wise this Christmas? I found out I was type 2 diabetic in October 2016 with a HB1ac level of 51 (previous levels 48 in 2015 and 39 in 2013). After finding out I was diabetic (I had no symptoms but found out by routine blood test) I cut out carbs and sugar and...

So I'm wondering if anyone has discovered a high quality dark chocolate they can recommend?
