Tag: Giving up chocolate

Around 87% of people in a recent survey admitted to craving chocolate. But what happens if I never eat chocolate, and can you truly give it up without any consequences? The effects on your body are a complex mix of positive changes and the loss of some unexpected benefits.

According to the *Journal of Affective Disorders*, while chocolate may temporarily satisfy cravings, emotional eating can prolong negative moods. This highlights a deeper question beyond simple enjoyment: **Is giving up chocolate good for you?** The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no and depends heavily on the type and quantity consumed.
