Our ancestors lived in a world where their food fought back. Predators attacked without notice. They had to run or fight - fast and hard. These short bursts of high-output activity fine tuned our ancient ancestors and kept them fit. We still have the same physiology yet have lost that kind of challenge.

Your body can select from several fuel sources. It can burn fat, it can burn carbohydrates like glycogen or it can get energy from breaking down protein. When you exercise for different durations or at different levels of intensity it alters the relative proportion of energy you derive from these 3 sources. For the first couple of minutes, your body uses something called ATP - the most readily available source of energy.

Short bursts of exercises tell your body that storing energy as fat is inefficient, since you never exercise long enough to utilize the fat during each session. Carbohydrates, which are stored in muscle rather than fat, burn energy at high rates. Exercising for short periods will use these carbs and burn much more fat after exercising while you replenish the carbs. Short interval exercise maximizes ...
... fat after burn.

In a matter of weeks, you can:

* Lose pounds of belly fat
* Build functional new muscle
* Reverse heart disease
* Build energy reserves available on demand
* Strengthen your immune system
* Reverse many of the changes of aging.

Then, what if you combine the words short interval exercises and chocolate? Could that be used in the same sentence? Well, with a new product, it just might be possible. A recent study from Japan found that consuming cocoa may combat weight gain. There are several mechanisms that are involved in this, including gene regulation and cocoa's potential mood elevating chemicals. These helpful chemicals may help people feel more energetic and want to exercise more, thus aiding in weight loss. This healthy dark chocolate is low in sugar, high in fiber, antioxidants, ORAC value, flavonoids, and low in fat and calories.
