My friend Amy Alkon, the syndicated newspaper columnist known as the Advice Goddess, holds de-fatted diet foods in very low regard. In her view, you’re better off having a little bit of the real thing than a lot of the fake thing. It works for her.
For me, products like Wonderslim Wondercocoa make it possible for me to keep progressing with my weight loss. It’s fat-free, sugar-free, and nearly caffeine-free. One tablespoon added to a cup of milk (dairy, soy, rice, or whatever floats your boat) makes a delicious chocolate milk or, heated, hot chocolate. Just sweeten with your favourite sweet thing; I use Splenda. You can also use it in recipes for baked goods, but I’m not really a baker (nor was I before I started trying to get healthier). I discovered Wonderslim Wondercocoa in the baking section at Whole Foods in Los Angeles, and it’s a steal at under $7.
Plus, the label is cute. Yes, I’m shallow.
