Rules of Chocolate If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly. Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal, it'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less. If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge. Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves. Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger. Q: Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? A: Because no one wants to quit. Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.
