Of course it counts at a serving of fruit - even my Mom approves! (She also approves of oatmeal cookies for breakfast and raised 5 kids, teaching us good eating habits while also teaching the balance of having goodies once in a while.)<br /> I have NEVER put chocolate in the freezer unless it's ice cream.<br /> Oh, and I can vouch that #4 really does work and calories really are afraid of heights. You can apply this to other foods too that may have too many calories in them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16639#post-373468 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:25:41 +0000 linda 373468@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was sent this in an email. Thought I'd share</p> <p>The Rules of Chocolate:</p> <p>1. If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too<br /> slowly.</p> <p>2. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all<br /> count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.</p> <p>3. *The problem:* How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. *The solution:* Eat it in the parking lot.</p> <p>4. *Diet tip:* Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off<br /> your appetite and you'll eat less.</p> <p>5. A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?</p> <p>6. If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?</p> <p>7. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge.<br /> Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to<br /> protect themselves.</p> <p>8. Money talks. Chocolate sings.</p> <p>9. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.</p> <p>10. Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?<br /> Because no one wants to quit.</p> <p>11. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.</p> <p>12. Chocolate is a health food. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean =vegetable. Sugar is derived either from sugar beets or cane, both vegetables. And, of course, the milk/cream is dairy. So eat more chocolate to meet the dietary requirements for daily vegetable and dairy intake. </p>
