ok i have "dangerously high" cholesteral according to my doctor, and she is putting me on a strict diet. No fat, No red meat, And absolutley NO sugar of any kind(junkfood...etc). The problem is, i LOVEEEEE chocolate and cant go without the taste. I had gone 3 days w.o sugar and then today my moim made brownies and i cracked and ate 3 *cries* Are there any foods that taste like chocolate, but arent disgusting, and are healthy? Like not a lot of fat, sugars etc. Foods that you can get in places like shoprite, pathmark, costco and stop&shop. Preferably things available to people in NYC, specificallt staten island, cuz thats where I am currently living. Thanks a bunch! I rate high for good answers

Well first of all why is your mom making brownies? That was really mean of her. She needs to help you with this, not shove it in your face! Even if it was unintentional, what she did was very wrong. Talk to her about this. Your health is very important and she needs to understand that.
That out of the way, I think I know exactly what you're looking for!! My mom has high cholesterol (297) and her doctor suggested that she try Viactiv calcium chews. The best part? Chocolate flavor is available. I tried one once and they're actually really good. It's a bad idea to take more than one of these a day so it might not completely solve your problem, but it could help a lot. Not only will it help with your need for chocolate, it could help lower your cholesterol too. They're sold all over the place. I've seen them in Wal-Mart so you shouldn't have a hard time finding them. I would suggest asking your doctor if it would be a good idea for you to take them before you do though, just to be on the safe side. Good luck!
