Believe it or not, but it's true.

You are probably getting milk chocolate. As I have said, if I start
eating milk chocolate I get a powerful urge to eat more and more until
it is all gone.... and then I suffer. That doesn't happen when I eat
dark chocolate. I find it very satisfying. I can break off a square two
of that and nibble on that and have no craving for more.

I usually pick up my bittersweet chocolate bars at a German deli when I
go for cream cheese. I may pick up a chocolate bar every second or third
visit.



If you find that you are eating too much chocolate to dare to have it
around the house, and if you like the bittersweet stuff, you should give
it a try. Pick up a bar of good bittersweet and have just a square or
two at a time.
