This does sound very contriversial but Hershey's actually funded a recent study which endeavored to find out whether or not overweight and obese women would still be able to lose weight, despite having chocolate or another sweet treat on a daily basis. The results: women lost an average of 11 pounds over a four month period of time.
"Women think about going on a diet and think they have to deprive themselves of their favorite foods, but really that's not the case if you incorporate them in a portion-controlled way." Kathryn Piehowski, who was part of the research team said.
Debra Keast from the Food & Nutrition Database Research Inc in Okemos, Michigan, is in support of healthier snacks, such as yogurt and nuts, and supports eating regularly so one isn't starving their body. "I think allowing snacks and sweets as a reward for exercising or for sticking to your healthy foods is good… But I think there are probably other foods that might be more satiating to eat between meals, if the objective is to hold you over to the next meal so you're not feeling so hungry that you have to gorge when you actually sit down to eat." Debra said.
So a little bit in moderation may be a good thing as you follow your Body Type Diet
