At this time of year, lots of chocolate may come into your life. This is to be celebrated – diabetes or no diabetes.
I don’t hand out advice, but I do share things I’ve learnt. And I’d like to share this: sugarfree chocolate is the work of the devil. It does weird things to your insides, leaves an odd metallic coating in your mouth, will make you spend a lot of time in the loo and basically tastes like crap a little unsavoury.
Eating the real thing is far better and definitely bolus-worthy. My favourite chocolate to eat at Easter is in the form of a dark chocolate Lindt Gold Bunny. I’m also partial to anything from Haigh’s chocolate.
I read the other day that if you crack open your eggs (Bunny) before eating, all the calories fall out.* So smash the bejeezus out of your chocolate before eating it, make it dark chocolate and I think that you’ve pretty much got a health food in front of you.**
Also, there is to be no guilt associated with eating any said chocolate.
Enjoy the next couple of days and I’ll see you next week with a belly full of real chocolate!

I miss REAL chocolate so much. Have you ever tried milk free chocolate? I’m not sure if it actually is chocolate since it doesn’t have milk, lol, but it doesn’t taste too bad, and is nothing like sugar free chocolate. That’s the stuff I’m eating now as I seem to be milk protein intolerant. So eat some chocolate for me and enjoy. Happy Easter 🙂
