The Secret to Eating Chocolate to Lose Weight

Today's Nutrition Nugget -- The Secret to Eating Chocolate while Losing Weight! 

Gotta Love This!  Your body can actually lose weight while eating chocolate as long as it’s in a metabolic state equal to pleasure.  Now isn’t that Genius? That's how brilliant your body is.
 
This month's video is worth watching if you are a chocolate lover - like most women.  As it turns out, chocolate can be a weight loss ally, if eaten in a specific way. 

GOOD TO KNOW: It's only when "enjoyment" is enmeshed with guilt and shame that the experience of eating a dessert transforms into something totally different - compulsion - at which point it ceases to be enjoyment at all.  So, allow yourself to have your dessert in a very relaxed state of mind to prevent your stress fighting hormones from kicking in.
 
"It's when pleasure ends, that overeating begins." - Geneen Roth

Oh Yes, since Fall veggies are now in season I thought it would be approriate to post my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe for you to try.  Enjoy!
