I have crazy cravings for chocolate these days, especially dark wala. Saas says too much chocolate is not good but I read somewhere dark chocolate is actually fine. Kitna kha sakte hai in a day? anyone?
Oh please eat it! It keeps the mommy happy and trust me, a happy mommy means a happy baby. Just don't finish the whole bar in one go, keep some for the husband too! 😉
Actually dark chocolate is a lifesaver, yaar! When you get those crazy midnight sweet cravings, just a small bite of dark chocolate helps so much. Just make sure you don't go overboard with it.
Beta, you can eat a small piece of dark chocolate if you have cravings, but don't eat too much as it is warm in nature. For sweet cravings, having a date or dry fruits with warm milk is much better for health.
I totally understand how hard it is to manage sweet cravings when you are growing a tiny life inside you. A little bit of dark chocolate is absolutely fine and will make you feel so warm and happy inside, dear.
According to my tracker apps, dark chocolate is actually great in moderation because it has antioxidants and improves blood flow to the baby. Just watch the portion size because it does contain a small amount of caffeine.
Yes, it is perfectly fine. I had a piece almost every day in both my pregnancies to beat stress and caffeine levels are very low in it. Just choose 70% or more dark coco and enjoy it without overthinking.
Sasta wala normal chocolate khane se achha h thoda dark chocolate khao. It has less sugar so it won't cause unnecessary weight gain or gestational sugar issues. Simple Amul dark chocolate works nicely and is budget-friendly too.
When I asked my nutritionist at the hospital, she said high-quality dark chocolate is fine in small amounts. It's always best to check with your doctor or hospital's dietician during your next routine scan to see if it suits your diet.
