We all love chocolate (well most of us) but it usually spells DISASTER when you are trying to follow a weight loss plan or try and be that bit healthier.
But the good news is that at Lose Baby Weight, we believe in having treats in moderation and in making your own healthy treats so you know what is in them and so you limit the fat, sugar and processed ingredients in them.
