A Dark Chocolate Diet? A Tasty Way to Lose Weight - Phit and Phabulicious Podcast #43
Deb Rondeau and Scott Paton

The story so far is that very dark chocolate, but not milk chocolate, has a high concentration of potent antioxidants called flavanols that may have benefits for blood vessels, such as helping to lower blood pressure a little.
Eating dark chocolate every day may improve thinking abilities in people with mild cognitive impairment, according to a new study.
Researchers enlisted older adults to consume either low, moderate or high amounts of flavanols in a cocoa-based beverage every day for eight weeks, and a link was found between the higher amounts of flavanols and improvements in tests of cognitive function.
Approximately 98% of people born in North America today have a very similar start in life, meaning we are born weighing close to 7lb. Deb Rondeau entered the world at 5lb. 7oz. She was an active child, but yo-yo dieting begun in her teens had her tipping the scales at 430 lbs in 2009 at age 55.
While living a fairly functional life on the outside, just simple things most people take for granted, like using a public restroom or crossing the street, were heartbreaking challenges that could fill her eyes with tears and her heart with shame.
