It has been a while since I was pregnant with my twins.
Cravings started as soon as pregnancy kicked in.
Before this, I was not the kind of person who was listening to my body. I also did not know that what I was putting into my mouth could make me strong or sick. I loved my Nutella... and my babka! The moment I knew I was pregnant changed everything, I knew I had to be careful. I paid more attention about what I ate when pregnant that I have ever been all my life.
This craving of chocolate is always present especially in the morning.
Beforehand, I had such a hard time stopping eating that it had to be done by exceptional inner strength.
Indeed, I was a sugar addict, not a chocolate addict.
I became a chocolate addict since Hnina because I do not crave ANY sugar anymore. The difference is huge and the difference in weight too.
Hnina organic raw dark chocolate motivates me, makes me focused, makes me happy, makes me strong for my training and helps me getting over any goals I give myself. Also, it gives me very fast this sensation of being satiated as if I ate a whole meal whereas I am still almost fasting.
The quality of good nutritious food is what makes each one of us strive not the sugar.

In today's world, we think about food as something that is pre-made, already done for you. Those foods are most of the time addictive and made to make you come back to it (sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine and I am not even talking about rancid hydrogenated fat).
At Hnina, we stay away from sweet or too sweet and from processed bad saturated bad fat. Food that is made with scientific "healthy sweet" or refined fat are not.
My life is refined sugar free (including coconut sugar or agave) since I was pregnant with twins 8 years ago.
I have been a dark chocolate addict all my life and yes, at times I was more curvaceous than others.
You know why, because I did not know what sugar could do to me. You always think, that's OK, I will burn it off tomorrow but then you do not realize all the glycation, acidification and inflammatory reactions that can happen in your body while consuming refined glucose or refined fructose.
