The chocolate diet is a 1250 calorie regimen designed for those who want to lose weight but can’t give up on chocolate. In fact, with the chocolate diet you lose weight but you eat chocolate several times a day.

This allows you not to feel the sacrifice of the diet but at the same time to lose weight and respect a low-calorie diet.

Designed by nutritionist Juliette Kellow , this diet allows you to lose 4 kilos per month.
