How to make over your fave chocolate-y snacks

 

Check these out, too...

Not only is choc a delish V-Day delight, it’s not half bad for ya! Dark versions (70 percent cocoa or more) have antioxidants and heart-healthy nutrients. Satisfy that sweet tooth the healthier way.


V-Day Date with the BF
What’s cuter than goin’ splitsies on a yummy post-din confection? The molten cake might be tempting, but has up to a day’s worth of fat. Choco-kissed gelato gives ya calcium.
 

Ugh—You’re PMSin’ Big-Time
Lotsa chicas crave chocolate during that time of the month. If you’ve gotta indulge, avoid heavy stuff (like, a shake and fries) and nibble on chocolate-covered seeds. They’re stacked with minerals to stop bloating.
 

Movie Night with Your Fam
The king-size Reese’s are tempting, but it’s easy to mindlessly munch when you’re watchin’ a flick. Almonds doused in dark chocolate or dusted in cocoa powder (try Emerald’s) give ya a dose of healthy fat.
 

 
The “OMG, I Need It Now” Moment
Just popped into the store for a quick fix? Pass by the Twix and pick up some Hershey’s Special Dark Kisses. They have 20 cals each and taste indulgent. Or, nab one dark truffle.
 

 
Sleepover with Your Besties
Double fudge brownies are a classic, but chocolate fondue and fruit gives ya way more vitamins and feels fancier. All you've gotta do is melt a bag of chocolate chips in a heat-proof bowl, dip your berries and chill on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet 'til hard.

I've been trying to exercise more and stuff, but 1) can you exercise too much? and 2) I reaaally need motivation at my dad's house. He doesn't have a treadmill, so what can I do to get cardio in? It's really cold here still, so running outside is hard.

Hey girlie,

I think exercising too much would be multiple workouts a day, but if you're worried about your personal exercise routine I would talk to your gym teacher or a doctor for better types for your bod. If you don't want to go outside, you could try renting a workout video from your local library, or run up and down the stairs for an indoor version of stadiums. Pushups, situps and crunches are always a safe bet, too!

Mod Mod Please Help!!!
Ok so Im 12 and got my period in Jan and it hasnt happenes yet and its scaring me im 78.lbs and I dont know how to gain wait either. So back to the period ?, It hasnt happened yet and right now a feel pain in that area. Like its strectching or something! Frown And I dont know how to gain weight! And my boobs r soo small. You can probably tell Im not confident in myself and Im not im in 7 th grade and I have acne and... I cry cuz I want to feel beautiful!!? Help Me Frown

Hey girl, take a deep breath and think of something that makes you smile.  Now, first of all, when you begin your period, it can take years for it to become regular.  If you want to gain weight, it's best to check in with your doctor to see what they recommend.  Check out this post about how to gain weight in a healthy way.  Check out GL's tagged articles about how to get rid of acne.  Focus on the parts of your bod that you love and think about those things.  Walk confidently and carry your head high, and you'll def feel better.  If you are worried about anything regarding your health, talk with a nurse or a doctor.  Good luck, chica!

Thanks, GL! I'm on a diet, and I just want to eat healthier and stay in shape. So, I am eating healthier and exercising everyday! I really love chocolate, so my mom said have dark chocolate instead, and now I LOVE dark chocolate.
