Doctors Chocolate Review

What You Should Know

Doctorís chocolate is a dietary supplement developed by Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, a British doctor who focuses on integrated medicine and total wellness. Doctorís chocolate is intended to aid weight loss by helping suppress appetite and reduce sugar cravings. It also claims to be safe for diabetics, promote anti-aging, lower blood pressure, and aid in overall health and stress reduction.

Doctorís chocolate is available from their website for $47.95 per bag, with each bag containing 65 chocolate pieces. The program recommends eating at least two pieces a day before meals, but does not place restrictions on how much can be eaten.

List of Ingredients

Doctorís chocolate contains unprocessed dark chocolate (chocolate liquor, sugar, cocoa butter, soya lecithin, vanilla extract and possible traces of milk or nuts), deseeded fig paste, cocoa powder, xylitol, water, raspberry juice, natural raspberry flavor, L-theanine (Suntheanine), and natural flavors.

Product Features

Each piece of Doctorís Chocolate contains 20 calories and 1 gram of fat. The website sites many studies demonstrating the health benefits of chocolate in general and goes to great lengths to show how the antioxidants in chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can provide anti-aging benefits, lower blood pressure and reduce stress. However, no studies on the Doctorís Chocolate product itself are available for review.

Although it has not been FDA approved, Doctorís Chocolate claims to be healthier than commercially available chocolate due to higher levels of unprocessed cocoa and to the use of the sweetener xylotol, a sugar alcohol, rather than processed white sugar. The use of xylotol rather than sugar also makes Doctorís Chocolate safe for diabetics.

There is no exercise regime or discussion of exercise as part of a healthy weight loss plan available on the Doctorís Chocolate website. There is also no information about making healthy dietary choices in conjunction with use of the product.

Pro’s

  • Doctorís chocolate does not use sugar, which makes it safe for diabetics.
  • Contains healthy antioxidants and therefore can claim the associated benefits.
  • May help reduce sugar cravings.

Con’s

  • Doctorís Chocolate is not FDA approved.
  • Does not promote exercise and healthy eating as necessary for healthy weight loss.
  • It is pricey, at $47.95 for 65 pieces.
  • No studies have been performed on the effectiveness of the Doctorís Chocolate product.

Conclusion

Doctorís Chocolate seeks to cash in on the recent studies demonstrating the health benefits of antioxidants found in chocolate; however, there is little to distinguish Doctorís Chocolate from the average sugar free chocolate bar. At $47.95 per bag, it is quite expensive compared to other similar chocolates available.

The Doctorís Chocolate website seems to promote its product as a cure for a variety of ills associated with obesity, while never discussing the need for dietary changes and exercise as part of a healthy weight loss program. Although the product may help suppress appetiteCh and reduce sugar cravings, its lack of portion control information and weight loss facts make its actual weight loss benefits appear greater than they are.

Top Choice for 2010: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
