Weight loss: Not just dark chocolate, white chocolate too can help you shed kilos

All the chocolate lovers are in for a surprise! A study found that even white chocolates (like dark chocolates) might help burn body fat.

We all know that dark chocolate may help lose weight. Various studies across the world have shown that a cube of dark chocolate has the ability to reduce cravings and decrease appetite - these factors may further support weight loss. But did you know that even milk chocolates may help burn body fat?

A study found that eating milk chocolate "during a narrow window of time in the morning" may help promote weight loss. Besides, the study, conducted on a group of postmenopausal women, also found that it may help manage blood sugar levels too. Here's how white chocolate helps burn fat.

Eating white chocolate in the morning or night did not lead to weight gain.

Eating chocolate in the morning or evening may influence appetite, sleep, microbiota composition (gut-health) and more.

A high intake of chocolate during the morning hours may help burn fat and reduce blood glucose levels.

Evening/night chocolate altered next morning resting and exercise metabolism.

The study further stated that the subjects of the study did not gain weight despite increasing their caloric intake. In fact, they found a consistent decrease in appetite and sweet cravings.

Considering all the above factors, we say, go ahead and enjoy some white chocolate while on a weight loss diet. But always remember, moderation is key.
