I too am a chocoholic...and after the first 3 weeks ( I was straight by the book til then) found the advantage pb/choc bars. I do allow myself to have them now and again...but one bar gets broken into between 2 -4 "treats". I might have 1/3 of a bar with decaf in the morning and it makes me happy. I try to count all the carbs in it though...so If I have 1/3...I count it as 4 carbs (I only deduct the fiber from the total carb count..so, for me, one bar has 11-12 carbs, not the 2 net as advertised). I agree with AFWife and think you need to stay clean for at least 2-3 weeks...and I love this plan...but this little indulgence makes me happy. I only lose an average of about 1 pound a week (lost 12 during induction) and maybe I could lose a bit more each week without them, but I'm rollin' along and this is what works for me mentally. (note: The advantage bars are the only ones that I've found with such high fiber. Others have the same total carbs but a much lower percentage of fiber in them and that matters to me too... I tend to stall badly with any of the others.) Just my opinion.
