Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth with Less Guilt
If you love chocolate but are trying to watch your weight, try Pocky, a Japanese candy stick that has the right balance of cookie and chocolate on a thin stick. Available in the Asian or Foreign food section in many large grocery stores and online, Pocky is the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate craving without undoing your mile on the treadmill.
Available in many varieties such as dark or mint chocolate, Pocky is sure to find a place in your office desk or purse. The only way it works however, is that you eat two or three sticks to have your chocolate fix. If you have the entire pack, then its not any better or worse than your regular candy bar.
If you are proud of your self control and would like to indulge in something other than a Hershey’s kiss, then try Pocky today.

This is a great suggestion, I will have to look for them. I am always looking for healthier alternatives, or ways to indulge in a perfect sweet treat without downing thousands of calories. I think small treats are perfect to satisfy — the best of both worlds.

My husband swears that this stuff is delicious. I also hear that dark chocolate is better for those watching their waistlines. Always worth a thought!
