Doctor Keith Scott-Mumby is a world renowned specialist in the realm of natural medicine, and he's thoroughly researched the properties and benefits of dark chocolate as a nutritious calorie counting regimen.

Chocolate is made from the seeds of the Cacao tree (pronounced ?ke-kou?) which is an evergreen tropical-American tree that Doctor Scott-Mumby says is full of flavonoids ? which are generally regarded for their antioxidant characteristics. ?A little bit of chocolate can hold as many flavonoids as four and a half cups of tea, two of red wine, or as much as 6 apples!?, says Dr. Mumby.

?That is why I created the Doctor's Chocolate?, says Doctor Scott-Mumby. ?It draws upon the wonderful advantages of pure-chocolate without all of the unhealthy and troublesome components that are typically added into most candy store chocolates. Enjoying just 1 to 3 pieces of my uncommon chocolate will help to suppress your hunger and curb your hankering for junk food - as a result helping you to lose weight?.

After beginning to diet with her husband, Charlotte Palmer (of Alberta, Canada), chose to snack on the Doctor's Chocolate as a treat to help quench her appetite and curb her longing for fatening snacks. After four months, Charlotte lost fifty lbs. and happily maintains her healthy diet! ?Eating The Doctor's Chocolate has helped me along because it has kept me from eating other junk-food, it has helped suppress my appetite, and it has helped me to remain calm and not so stressed when you're missing out on all the other treats,? says Mrs. Palmer.

The Doctor's Chocolate is nothing more than twenty calories per piece, is diabetic-safe and because it is not adulterated with all the sugars and milk that prepared chocolate is so well known for, it actually is absorbed slowly leaving you feeling satisfied after only a few bites.

This unique chocolate has NO trans-fat so you do not have to feel guilty when you enjoy them. They taste delicious without the typical sugar that can often cause difficulties with weight and blood sugar. In place of sugar and milk being added, The Doctor's Chocolate is sweetened by a sugar alcohol called Xylotol, recognized by the FDA as a safe sugar free sweetener.

Be cautious of any chocolates containing synthetic or chemical sweeteners such as sucralose or aspartame. The Doctor's Chocolate has only natural products, without additives, preservatives, or artificial coloring.

So to recap, pure chocolate is a healthy food when kept in its more natural form. It's only unhealthy when it's processed and mixed with other unhealthy ingredients like milk, preservatives and processed-sweeteners. The Doctor's Chocolate acts as an appetite-suppressant and is a healthy way to curb your appetite (in between meals) without adding extra calories and fat - leading to natural weight loss.
