is eating a timtam (or a bar of chocolate) per day bad for me?

no it is not\nbut spread it out through out the day for a few reasons\n1) it spreads the calories you intake out through out the day..\n2) you get more enjoyment from one bar..all day..\n3)if you eat it all at once..you just may want another one..so if you spread it out..this saves you on calories..\n\nthey have done a lot of studies lately and they say chocolate helps you heart and helps your mind stay calm plus a few more healthy things\n( OH NO I said HEALTHY )  no it is a health food..\nGood luck\nhave fun\nsmile

Is Chocolate Healthy for You?\nYes, If It's Dark\n\n\nChuao Cocoa\nA chocolate a day keeps the doctor away. Surely such a statement has skeptics furrowing their brows. But what if we put it this way? A flavanoid a day may prevent heart disease.\n\nA natural, plant-based substance, flavanoids are found in cocoa and believed to affect nitric oxide activity in the body—in laymen’s terms: the less cells oxidize, the better for your health. In fact, the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory provides a list of flavanoid-rich foods—including chocolate—because scientific studies support their antioxidant effects, which include inhibiting blood platelets from sticking together, clogging arteries and causing heart attacks.

There is never a wrong time to eat chocolate.\n\nAnd here's some words to live by...  \n\n"Chocolate may slow down the aging process...It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?"

Girl! Eat what you want. . .you are about to experience the most annoying function of a woman's body - treat yourself! I've never heard of anyone dying from eating too much chocolate or Ben & Jerry's before their period. It's only once a month. . .

As a doctor, (but not a cardiologist), I would not recommend it.  I have had it before but it causes palpitations for me.  Unfortunately there are no formal studies on it.  The other bad thing is the taurine which is an insulinomimetic (it acts like insulin).  It causes the sugar in you blood to go intracellular causing that boost in energy.  Howvever, that is unnatural for the body and over time could lead or exacerbate diabetes.  While no studies prove this, this is my theory.  In short one can every now and then may not be a problem, but two cans a day is.  You may need to look at why your energy is down in the first place, it may be something more treatable, i.e. depression, workload, stress etc.

Someone said chocolate. I had eaten chocolate daily since i was a kid and i always wondered why i wasnt depressed especially considering how bad my circumstances were, violent fater, low income family, no friends, then a few years ago i heard there had been a scientific study which found chocolate does indeed help with depression. Another recent study claimed that omega 3 fish oil is a miracle cure for depression, this was based on the fact that populations who eat plenty of fish have much lower instances of depression than populations where fish is rarley eaten. For instance Japan has a very low instance of depression where as south africa has the highest rates of depression in the world. I do take omega 3 oil but if i had to say witch benefits me best it would definatley be chocolate, it definatley affects my mood for the better, even just a tiny amount a day like one square from a bar. Working out is also a big depression killer, especially weight training. Finally try to have a routine to live by, that also is a big help. I notice its times when im at a lose end and have no direction in life that i get depressed a lot, so even working out daily or twice weekly will give you something positive to focus on, plus it raised the happy chemicals in the brain.

The key here is "Everything in moderation!":) Try to limit yourself to like one sweet a day, and then if the urge comes to have another, snack on something healthily sweet, like fruit or a granola bar or some yogurt. Read the back of the sweets container to see how much is equal to one serving, and try to stick with eating only that much. It is hard, but denying yourself of any sweets will make it much worse in the long run. Good luck and Good health!

Anything can harm you!\nPhentermine is a form of amphetamine.  I'm sure if you took too many you could OD.  It's addictive.  If you aren't relatively healthy and you start taking it, it could harm you. It raises your blood pressure and makes you thirsty.\nOn the other hand, if taken properly under a doctor's supervision, you can lose weight.  I lost 18 lbs last month taking it.

Truth is your an addict! You are addicted to sugar and the chocolate. Just like a person is addicted to drugs your addicted and you will need to get this out of your system just like with any drug.\nhttp://www.karlloren.com/Diabetes/p82.htm

your basically making yourself having type 2 diabetes. It's the same diet for people who are insulin resitant. I think it's gonna be bad just by the name. It'll might be good because it is very healthy. I don't know i'd try it.

I really don't think chocolate will do more but satisfy a craving and make you gain weight.If you are feeling weak and tired all the time,maybe you should have your dr check your hemoglobin you could be anemic,you could try some Over the counter Iron Pills.

Yes that  I'am aware of I take it every day and has not caused me any harm.I'am not sure about it helping you to not gain wieght.It's only uses are to promote sugar metabolism and support membrane fluidity and promote insulin-mediated glucose uptake by cells.\n\n-Assists insulin in the biochemical regulation of fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism.

Sounds to me like you already have the primary [and essential] ingredient: THE DESIRE TO! Add to that, the fact that you've already mentioned ACTIVE, and I think you are actually already there! Now, on the other side of the fence, [the body part], decide a good high protein, low carbs, fat, routine. Write it down, and post it somewhere it can be seen! [there's nothing like a good memo!] And allow for times when you're going to want a disgustingly-delicious yumm yumm (chocolate etc!) and let yourself have a little of that-which-you-love! Your on a roll!

OK, everyone else is just saying eat it.  What I do instead of eating the chocolate bars or icecream is drink a cup of diet (sugar-free or low-fat) hot chocolate.  If you want a real treat, I love the swiss-miss French Vanilla, but those aren't diet.
