This past weekend at the South Bay Yoga Conference I gave a talk called Are You A Chocoholic? where I told all of the ladies to eat all of the real raw chocolate they wanted to! They were so excited to hear that from a Health Coach.
Real Raw Chocolate is actually super good for you. There are amazing health benefits and it actually helps us decrease our sweet cravings. Unlike the processed chocolate you might be used to eating where you could eat an entire bag of peanut M&M’s and still have the desire and need to devour another bag. (That used to be me!)
Now I satisfy my sweet cravings with the real stuff and I no longer get headaches or come down with the sugar blues (which is when you get tons of energy after consuming sweets and then crash 20 minutes later and look for the closest place you can take a nap!
Here Are The TOP Reasons You Should Eat Real Raw Chocolate (Cacao)
1. It has no sugar in it!
2. You can eat all of the real raw chocolate you want without gaining weight
3. It is a great source of Iron
4. It is a superfood with tons of Antioxidants to make you feel and look young!
5. It is a good source of magnesium
– Ladies raw cacao is actually the #1 source for magnesium. This is why we crave chocolate during that time of the month because the magnesium levels in our body decrease. Eat real raw cacao and it will help improve your mood!
6. It is a good source of fiber

8. Real raw cacao improves your mood, gives you energy and is the love drug! It produces the same reaction in your body that you have when you fall in love.
