Never give up chocolate.

Chocolate is not the enemy. Chocolate brings strength. It breeds character. It helps your body, it helps your mind, and it helps your spirit. Do not give up the chocolate.

Give up the sugar.

Want to go from 30% body fat to 15%? Step one: Go from 45% cocoa to 80+%. Learn to love chocolate for what it is, not for the sugar that they cloak it in.

Do not give up chocolate. It would never give up on you.
