OldRookie Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 I have this secret addiction to chocolate so I try not to have any in the house. But-you have kids,your gonna' have cookies & when chocolate chip cookies are fresh out of the oven all soft & gooey--my willpower breaks like a 1" pine board! {I just thought of this topic the other day when I was chowing down on a southern delicacy-fried chicken livers. Battered & deep fried organ meat-yumm. I could hear my arteries clogging with each bite -so good,and yet so-o-o bad for you!} *1st Dan Oct 2004*"Progress lies not enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.""It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them."
three60roundhouse Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 [color=indigo]Peanut butter....I know small quantities aren't that bad, but when it is one of your main sources of energy like it is for me.....

BlueDragon1981 Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 ummmmmm............I like a lot of Junk food..........but try not to eat it. Pepsi is the main junk thing that I dont stay away from.....im adicted.
KickChick Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 Hey Old Rookie you did say "unhealthy" right? Well, I can prove you and 360 wrong on your choices! (I do agree soda and chips are by far the worse!) #1 Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, the same chemical released in our bodies when we fall in love. #2 Chocolate is a natural stress reducer - it releases the calming brain chemical serotonin. #3 Chocolate is a natural mood elevator - it releases " feel good" endorphins. #4 Chocollate is high in magnesium - which helps to stabilize moods and emotions. #5 Chocolate contains antioxidents - special disease fighting chemicals that keep us healthy. #6 Chocolate helps keep arteries clean - it may even be more beneficial than red wine. #7 Chocolate helps prevent tooth decay - it contains an anti-bacterial agent that keeps cavities at bay. #8 Chocolate is low in caffeine - one ounce has only 6mg of caffeine. #9 Chocolate is low in cholesterol - dark chocolate is cholesterol-free and milk chocolate has only 7mg per ounce. #10 Chocolate is more satisfying than any other food - it has over 500 aromas and flavors, providing optimal pleasure to the taste buds Chocolate is especially healthy when eaten with ice cream. Ice cream is made from milk, which is a healthy energizer. Besides, the calories in ice cream immediately burn themselves up trying to warm the ice cream to 98.6 degrees. It takes energy to heat the ice cream up, and that energy is provided by the calories in the chocolate and in the ice cream. Chocolate, when eaten with cookies or cake and ice cream is the healthiest choice of all. The wheat used to create the flour that was used to create the cookies or cake provides you with your daily allotment of whole grains. However, there is only a small amount of whole grains in a piece of cake or a cookie, which means that you have to eat lots in order to fill your daily needs. ... you believe this right??? Peanut butter lowers blood cholesterol, is effective in helping people oncertain diets to lose weight and keep it off, much more satisfying, for longer periods of time, than high- carbohydrate snacks and comprised of important plant chemicals, such as phytosterols, thought to help fight heart disease and cancer. So you see Chocolate , Peanut Butter and Ice Cream are my favs!
LeaF Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 So are you saying the benefits of chocolate out weigh the negatives. IF so I have been eating quite "unhealthy" for some time, I don't eat chocolate, ice cream, cake, soda, chips or any of those kinda of things, but I think I still cover the things I am missing by eating other foods, perhaps you could tell us a little more KickChick Goju Ryu Karate-do and Okinawan Kobudo, 17 Years Old 1st kyu Brown Belt in in Goju Ryu Karate-do, & Shodan in Okinawan KobudoGiven enough time, any man may master the physical.
