Diet Tip of the Day
Healthy Chocolate and Weight Loss:
Fiber in cocoa is linked to decreased weight. Fiber helps block some fat absorption as well as a feeling of fullness. Cocoa’s flavonoid content can relieve inflammation (chronic inflammation is associated with low leptin levels, which increases appetite). They also increase insulin sensitivity and proper glucose metabolism, meaning if the sugar in your blood is being utilized properly, it doesn’t convert into fat.
Plus lots more health benefits including: boosts energy level, improve heart health, antibacterial agent. And, a Harvard University study found that eating dark chocolate three times a month could prolong a person’s life by roughly one year.
Note: the above does not apply to normal chocolate.
And it just so happens that my all-time favourite type of chocolate is 75%+ dark chocolate. :)

Diet Tip of the Day
20 superfoods for weight loss:
Eggs
Dig in to eggs, yolks and all: They won’t harm your heart, but they can help you trim inches. Women on a low-calorie diet who ate an egg with toast and jelly each morning lost twice as many pounds as those who had a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories but no eggs. Omelets and scrambles are obvious choices.Mmm I’ve been making the right choice getting my favourite Subway omelettes!

Slower progress, probably due to the birthday meals and bad foot, but happy progress nonetheless!
