From an article on the Ayurvedic approach to weightloss: “Sweets and oils give us a sense of being nurtured and comforted, both mentally and physically, and robbing ourselves of these is the downfall of most dieters.” In the case study they recommend moderate use of oils and sweets while making fruits, vegetables and whole grains the main part of the diet. This aligns well with the Mayo food pyramid also based on fruits, vegetables and whole grains but with a nice little piece of dark chocolate at its pinnacle. Can't quite pay the rent? Well then, better have a cookie with that.
Yep, Nothing like a nice cup of hot chocolate to get the bitter taste of the ashes of failure, loss and a broken heart out of your mouth. It is no wonder I like my sweet and creamy substances.
