Error on my part about ghrelin. Dark chocolate actually has an inverse relationship with ghrelin, meaning it suppresses it. Ghrelin is actually the 'hunger' hormone and suppressing it is what controls appetite. The claim of reducing appetite is the same, but wanted to clarify that. Apologies!

**Me stuffing dark chocolate down my throat with a plunger**
Friend: What the fuck are you doing?
Me: Working out.

Summing it up: The good sweet chocolate is very very bad for your body
The only one you can "get away with" is the pure cocoa chocolate 90% or so, which is bitter af

The joy that I feel after this video is unexplainable

this video lowkey giving an excuse to eat chocolate 😂

Just did simple math for darker kinds of chocolate. To reach the 150 mg of epicatehin mentioned in the video you'd need :
53 grams for 95% chocolate (+/- 278 kcal)
51 grams of 99% chocolate (+/- 275 kcal)
Luckily in darker chocolate, there's also less calories, somewhat.

95% dark chocolate 30g every day since 2014

If i eat blocks of chocolate, do i get abs?

Honestly the way you explain things is so helpful! Still gives us the science while not beating us over the head with overly complicated thoughts

[linshuli]

What about taking epicatechi suppliments? Not so much calories anymore

[spudzphone]

what about straight Coco powder added to a shake?

Super interesting video on this find. For the past several months I've been using 60% dark chocolate chips(20 chips, 15g) in my dark chocolate kodiak cake mix and eat them literally every single day (not exaggerating, I love the stuff and it fits my macos). Lately on this lean bulk I've been using more dark chocolate chips in some other meals putting me at 30g of dark chocolate a day. Can't say this has been a defining factor, but I'm getting all the right results in all the right categories and this leads me to believe I might add some more chips! Thanks for sharing!

I'm proud to say I absolutely love 90% cocoa chocolate. Now I'm glad to know it has more benefits than I thought

berries, nuts and avocados have decent amount of epicatechin, so just eating that everyday wuld be a healthier option, obviously the chocolate is simply for views, but u shuld mention other foods that have it too
