"If you are new to fat bombs you’ll be wondering what the heck? Why oh why would we want to eat more fat? Well it is imperative too understand when we go low carb (and only moderate protein) then we want to increase our healthy fats to keep us fuller for longer. Fat doesn’t make you fat, a high carb diet does.

Dark Chocolate:
Many studies have shown that dark chocolate is incredibly healthy, and may reduce your risk of several diseases.
Dark chocolate is loaded with fibre and antioxidants, as well as minerals such as iron, magnesium, copper and manganese. Plant compounds in dark chocolate have been shown to lower blood pressure, protect against heart disease, improve brain function and protect the skin against the sun’s harmful UV-rays. To make the most of the health benefits, it is recommended to eat dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70–85% or higher. A piece of dark chocolate is especially delicious when enjoyed with a good cup of coffee.
Bottom line: Dark chocolate contains high amounts of fiber, antioxidants and minerals. It may reduce the risk of heart disease, improve brain function and protect the skin from the sun.
All the best Jan

Such luxurious bombs!
ReplyDeleteI love dark chocolate, as already my bio tells. :)
Thank you for sharing and happy weekend to you all! xx
Oooh - like the look of that. And may even graduate from heating a tin of beans and give it a try! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThose bombs do look so unhealthy so I'm glad explained how they are not. I just love that black, brittle and strong tasting 80-90% chocolate in Aldi. It's a bit cheaper than many brands but excellent stuff. Even though it comes in four smaller bars in one package it's hard not to eat the lot in one go.
ReplyDeleteMaybe my daughter can make this for me, she is the baker! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNice to find out that chocolate can be so beneficial, as I am a big lover of chocolate ♥
