Wait wait... chocolate makes you thin and lowers blood pressure?!?! HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD!!!?!??

But not the "milk" chocolate that has processed sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

In other words, NOT the Hershey's chocolate pictured.

Stick to dark chocolate.

Oh no, you've given my secret away why I've never dieted in my life, I eat handfuls of raw cacao nibs every day. 

Seriously? Wow! Where do you get them?

Adam, you can purchase them at most health food stores and online. I prefer Navitas Naturals brand for price and consistent quality. http://navitasnaturals.com/product/439/Cacao-Nibs.html

Thanks for the tip, Marianne!

Thank you for the tip! Yogurt + Cocoa for the win!!
