Use Chocolate For Weight Loss: Although consuming chocolate in itself is not a way to lose weight, when eaten at the right time, it reduces appetite and helps in weight loss. 

If you are fond of chocolate and are facing obesity at the age of 45, then this is good news for you. Researchers say that consuming milk chocolate can prove to be a fat-burner for postmenopausal women, but for this it is important to eat it at the right time. However, the way of eating chocolate is slightly different, which has come to light from the results of this research.

This study is published in "The FASEB Journal", which was prepared by Harvard Medical School professor Frank A.J.L. Sheer and Marta Garoulet. In this research, the results of an experiment conducted on 19 postmenopausal women have been shared. 

Researchers included 19 postmenopausal women in the study and gave them 100 grams of milk chocolate to eat. These women either ate it within an hour of waking up in the morning or an hour before sleeping at night. The purpose of this study was to know what effect the time of eating chocolate has on the body. 

The right time to eat chocolate

According to researchers, consuming chocolate in the morning or at night has many effects on the body in a specific time frame (1 hour). In particular, consuming chocolate in the morning can help reduce body fat and lower blood sugar levels.

Chocolate consumption and effects on weight

The study also found that after eating chocolate, women had a decrease in hunger and desire to eat sweets. Due to which they did not eat more calories without any difficulty. Although their calorie intake increased by 542 calories due to chocolate, women reduced their total calorie intake by 16% after eating chocolate in the morning, which can be beneficial for weight loss.

Expert opinion

Harvard University's Shir said that our results show that not only 'what' is eaten, but 'when' it is eaten can also play an important role in controlling the body's weight. At the same time, Marta Garoulet said, "The results of our study show that consumption of chocolate reduces hunger, desire and desire to eat sweets, which helps in avoiding weight gain."
