Harness the power of chocolate

| July 14, 2010 9:00 PM

Oh yes the power of chocolate! The power to give us that feeling of bliss as it slowly melts in the mouth. The power to feed the craving that statistics say nine out of 10 people have. The power to drive one out of two people to consume it EVERY day! And now, the power to help you lose weight!

Keith Allen of Coeur d'Alene is one of 50 people selected nationwide (along with two others in North Idaho) to participate in a medically supervised clinical study on the ability of a high antioxidant chocolate diet to aid in weight loss. For him, it's meant losing 18 pounds and 4.5 waist inches since the trial study began on June 21.

How tough can a diet be that REQUIRES you consume two healthy chocolate protein meal replacement drinks a day, and when the cravings hit you hard you get to reach for a rich delicious piece of healthy dark chocolate? Keith says it is very easy, and he has a hard time sometimes consuming the caloric requirements of the study - 1,200 calories for women and 1,500 calories for men.

The health benefits of dark chocolate are all over the news today - including sources like the New York Times, CNN, Psychology Today, the BBC and Time magazine. And one company, the true category creator of healthy chocolate, Xocai (show-sigh) has perfected the powerful ingredients. Xocai uses an exclusive worldwide patent on a cold processing technique that allow it's products to be the only independently lab-certified healthy chocolate available.

The cocoa plant has been found to be the most potent source of antioxidants on the planet. The second most potent source is the acai berry. These two super foods have been combined by Xocai to deliver the most powerful antioxidants available, and they do it in the form of something that we all love - decadent and delicious chocolate! All without the bad ingredients - no refined sugar, no dairy, no gluten, no waxes, no fillers and no preservatives. A true whole food!

Antioxidants are needed in our bodies to fight free radicals that damage and destroy cell tissue and our vital organs. A diet high in antioxidants is the best defense against the damage free radicals cause and in the case of the Xocai High Antioxidant Protein Meal, these antioxidants can help effectively fight the battle of the bulge.

An added benefit to an extremely high antioxidant diet like the one Keith uses is the natural effect of increased energy level, improved skin health (fewer wrinkles ladies!), deeper, more sound sleep and increased sex drive.

The case study Keith is part of continues into mid-September but the product is not available to the public until mid-August. Currently, the other healthy chocolate products are available and are marketed through a home based network marketing business model. For Keith and many others, especially in the current economy, the added income of a home based business has been a way to pick up some extra income while enjoying the health benefits of healthy chocolate.
