Also I take cholesterol med to keep mine down. My dad died of a heart attack at age 49 and his dad at 60, so I am ripe for heart disease, so watch my diet quite rigidly. Kind of takes the fun out of life, but hey, I get to see my DGKs grow up. And I too am not a heavy person.
You should try carob then gran. It is kind of like eating chocolate and honey. I love it myself. The health food section should have it like a powder or in chips for cookies. I use the Hershey's chocolate powder to make my cake, so most of my recipes are interchangeable with the carob.
