A Healthy Indulgence
By Sidra Forman, Best Life chef
Did you treat yourself to some chocolate over Valentine’s Day weekend? If you did, this news will be music to your ears: Chocolate not only tastes good, it's also good for you. (In small portions, of course!) That's because chocolate—any food that is made from the seed of the tropical cacoa—contains some of the same antioxidants found in fruit and veggies that help reduce the risk for heart disease and some cancers. Here’s a quick checklist of healthy ways to indulge in the sweet treat—use it any time of the year, not just around a holiday.

From the Community
"I am a Mom of two little ones, and was struggling choosing between the Weight Watchers and Best Life programs. Not that you have to use the Best Life's specific meal plans, but I honestly found it pretty helpful—planning menus and making grocery lists are two very challenging things when life get busy. I've only just started on the Best Life, but love how I can just choose some meals (I choose simple ones), and then print a grocery list. Phew!"
