Lose Weight While Eating Healthy Chocolate?
By Brian McCoy | December 2, 2008
The words chocolate and weight loss don’t usually coincide. However, with the benefits of healthy chocolate, the two can now coexist.
We have recently been hearing about the benefits of dark chocolate and what positive effects it can have on your body. While dark chocolate is healthy, the majority of the chocolate sold in stores today is very unhealthy. The reason for this is that these chocolates are chocked full of sugars, fats, and preservatives. None of which have any positive benefits to your overall health and wellness.
Another problem with traditional forms of chocolate is that a large percentage of its positive nutritional contents are lost during the heated manufacturing process. About 80% of the healthy antioxidants are destroyed during this process.
Thankfully, there is another option apart from the unhealthy, heat processed dark chocolates. A company named Xocai is a part of the MXI Corporation based in Reno, NV. Xocai has developed a line of products that is in its most natural, purest form of cacao. This is the result of the chocolate retaining its nutritional benefits during manufacturing. The cacao is cold pressed rather than heated. Therefore, the dark chocolate preserves its healthful benefits.
Xocai has 6 products available to consumers: X Powerhouse Cookie, X Power Squares, Omega Bars, Activ, Protein Bar, and Nuggets. The product line is made with unprocessed cacao powder and then acai berry and blueberry is included to enhance the taste. All of the products are chocked full of positive health benefits such as antioxidants, flavonoids, elevated ORAC values, high fiber, and low glycemic index. The product line is acceptable for vegetarians, vegans, and diabetics.
So what if anything does this have to do with weight loss? Well, a recent study from Japan found that consuming cocoa may combat weight gain. There are several mechanisms that are involved in this, including gene regulation and cocoa’s potential mood elevating chemicals. These helpful chemicals may help people feel more energetic and want to exercise more, thus aiding in weight loss.
Not only might there be a biochemical response, but you are eating a more organic, healthy product. Just think, if you grab a piece of healthy dark chocolate versus a Snickers bar, what do you think that the benefits will be? The healthy dark chocolate is low in sugar, high in fiber, antioxidants, ORAC value, flavonoids, and low in fat and calories. A vast contrast from the Snickers bar.
An added benefit is that you don’t have to give up taste either. The formulations that Xocai has put together for their line of healthy dark chocolate products has mass taste appeal. People are sharing their positive testimonials as to the fantastic results that they are seeing with the products. Because of this, I feel that it is beneficial for you and your family that you look into how the Xocai healthy chocolate can be good for you.
