The Budwig Protocol/Diet "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" - Hippocrates http://www.budwig- Chocolate diet.co.uk
Chocolate as such isn’t the problem – it’s all the other stuff they add into chocolate such as sugars and fats that are not allowed on the Budwig diet.
The Food of the Gods
Chocolate was revered by the ancient Mayans who believed it was a gift from the Gods, they enjoyed it for both its health benefits and for its flavour. When it was discovered by the West it was called in Latin, Theobroma cacao, which comes from the Greek and means “food of the gods” - something every chocoholic would agree with!
Healthy
It really is a good food. Chocolate fans know it tastes amazing, but many people don’t know how good it is for you (so long as you leave out the sugar and fat…). Modern scientists noticed it had heart-protecting qualities and research has shown that it is incredibly rich in antioxidants.
Budwig-Compliant Chocolate
Pure, old-fashioned cocoa is allowed on the Budwig diet and so is raw chocolate cacao powder. Ordinary chocolate drinking powder contains sugar so is not allowed.
On the Budwig diet you can enjoy the health benefits and taste of chocolate by adding pure cocoa powder to the linseed-quark cream to make utterly-delicious, Budwig- compliant, chocolate muesli and desserts (see recipes) and even chocolate ice cream .
Some manufacturers produce bars of 100% cocoa solids chocolate from very smooth, fine flavoured cocoa beans, a few squares of these is usually considered to be ok for the Budwig diet and help satisfy chocolate cravings.
