Dark chocolate

I latch onto any excuse to eat chocolate. I know, it needs to be in moderation - two bites pack about 50 calories - but I read in my Health May 2009 magazine that "the dark kind may help you feel fuller," says University of Copenhagen researchers. "They found that people who ate dark chocolate had fewer cravings afterward than those who ate milk chocolate. The reason: dark chocolate's bitter taste might help the body regulate appetite, or its higher amount of cocoa butter (it has stearic acid, which can slow digestion) may make the stomach stay full longer.

One of my favorite kinds of chocolates...
