Chocolate Eating Lessons

Make it last as long as possible:

Chocolate melts at about 90 degrees, but our body temperature is 98.6 degrees. As a result, just a small piece of chocolate “melts in your mouth,” and slowly, lovingly gives of itself while doing so.

Moreover, the natural vegetable oils in chocolate help avoid the between-meal gobble fest that usually occurs about mid-afternoon.

Thus, wait five to 10 minutes after finishing lunch, then savor a small piece, making it last as long as possible. The satiating qualities of the vegetable oil help prevent hunger between meals.

After all, one can spend five solid minutes with a non-stop chocolate experience and still have had only one piece.
