12 Insanely Healthy Chocolate Recipes

Swearing off Chocolate for Weight Management? Not with F-Factor!

Truth be told, when it comes to weight management and the foods that will help you meet your goals, chocolate isn’t typically the first food brought up. Here at F-Factor, we understand that focusing on what you can’t have leads to feelings of deprivation, denial, and depression—feelings that are inconsistent with sustained weight management. On the other hand, when you focus on what you can have, such feelings are minimized. You’re empowered and motivated, rather than discouraged. 

So with that being we’ve put together a round up of actually healthy CHOCOLATE recipes that you can feel good about indulging in.

DISCLAIMER
The rule to determine whether a dessert is fit for Step 1 has to do with calories and net carbs: 100 calories or less for your sweet treat, so long as you have the net carbs le

ft in your daily net carb allotment. To make the desserts listed below acceptable for Step 1 of the F-Factor Diet, cut the portion size in half or stick to the 3-bite rule.
