Being a problogger means grabbing snack to munch on whenever you can, while in front of the computer working. That’s another habit I need to cut back on besides sugar. Chocolate Truffles, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Chocolate Chip Cookies, etc, are my enemies. I should stick with gum since you actually burn calories when you chew gum. Or I could check out iVillage’s Snack swapper to find out the healthiest substitute to my snack cravings.
According to the Snack swapper, dark chocolate is good for your heart thanks to it’s antioxidants contents. But, don’t forget that it still contains calories. It suggested dark chocolate in moderation. For example, 3 dipped strawberries in dark chocolate OR 1 Hershey’s Miniatures Special Dark chocolate.
Check out the Snack Swapper to find the healthiest alternatives to your favorite treats. Coincidentally enough, my husband got me a bar of Hershey’s dark chocolateand I only ate the 1st row pieces. I’ll save the rest for 2 separate days. I’m moderating
