IT'S no secret that Britain is a nation of chocoholics, with eight million of us eating the sweet stuff daily.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there\u2019s even more reason to celebrate because if you\u2019re aiming to lose weight, you don\u2019t need to miss out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s about choosing the right choc to help you cut calories.<\/p>\n

And you can even get a health boost along the way, according to nutritionist Sophie Trotman.<\/p>\n

Here are the bars she\u2019d recommend buying if you\u2019re trying to shed a few pounds \u2013 and the ones to sidestep.<\/p>\n

But as a general rule, the healthiest options are lower in sugar and contain less ultra-processed ingredients like flavourings and preservatives.<\/p>\n

The 6 healthiest chocolate bars<\/h2>\n

1. Green & Black\u2019s Organic Dark Chocolate 85%<\/h3>\n

This bar is high in cocoa content, which means it\u2019s lower in sugar and contains more antioxidants, Sophie said. <\/p>\n

"Dark chocolate can be more satisfying, helping to reduce the chance of overeating," she added. <\/p>\n

"Being organic, it\u2019s free from many additives and preservatives."<\/p>\n

Bag this bar, which is 109 calories per 18g serving, at Sainsburys for \u00a32.45.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Lindt Excellence Dark Chocolate 90% Cocoa<\/h3>\n

"Lindt\u2019s high cocoa percentage ensures a lower sugar and calorie content than compared to milk chocolate," Sophie said.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the rich flavour, you\u2019ll satisfy your cravings with a small portion too. <\/p>\n

Two squares comes in just over 100 calories.<\/p>\n

Stock up with this one at Tesco for \u00a32.45.<\/p>\n

3. Moser Roth 85% Cocoa Chocolate Bars<\/h3>\n

For a more affordable option, Sophie recommends this Aldi chocolate. <\/p>\n

It comes in five individual 152-calorie bars that "make it easier to moderate intake". <\/p>\n

Get yours from Aldi for \u00a31.39.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Montezuma\u2019s Absolute Black<\/h3>\n

Sophie said: "With 100% cocoa, this chocolate has no added sugar making it a top choice for weight loss."<\/p>\n

Again, its intense flavour can curb sweet cravings, so it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll be satisfied after a small piece and won\u2019t be tempted to gobble up a whole bar.<\/p>\n

The nutritionist noted that "while it may take some getting used to, its nutritional profile is top-notch for chocolate lovers". <\/p>\n

You can get this bar from Waitrose for \u00a33.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Divine 70% Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re not used to the taste of dark chocolate, this is the perfect bar to ease you in.<\/p>\n

"Divine offers a slightly sweeter dark chocolate but still maintains a good cocoa percentage," Sophie said. <\/p>\n

A 90g bar will cost you \u00a32.40 at Ocado.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Ombar 90% Cacao Organic Vegan Fair Trade Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n

According to Sophie, this chocolate bar stands out for its high cocoa, low sugar content – at 3.6g of the sweet stuff per bar. <\/p>\n

Plus, it\u2019s organic and vegan \u2013 win win!<\/p>\n

You can shop this one at Ocado for \u00a32.10.<\/p>\n

The unhealthiest chocolate bars<\/h2>\n

These bars \u2013 although popular and delicious \u2013 could stop your weight loss progress dead in its tracks, Sophie warned. <\/p>\n

Here are the bars the nutritionist would steer clear of if you\u2019re trying to shift a few pounds.<\/p>\n

1. Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate<\/h3>\n

It may be the UK\u2019s favourite chocolate bar, but it\u2019s also the unhealthiest and doesn\u2019t support weight loss goals, Sophie said. <\/p>\n

"Being heavily processed, this bar contains added preservatives and flavourings which also help to make it hyper-palatable and very moreish," she added. <\/p>\n

As well as milk and cocoa butter, the Cadbury Dairy Milk ingredients list includes vegetable fats, emulsifiers and flavourings. <\/p>\n

It also contains 240 calories, 25g of sugar and 14g of fat per 45g bar. <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Mars Chocolate Bar<\/h3>\n

"Mars Bars combine sugar, fat and nougat, increasing the calorie content," Sophie said. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to indulge on Mars Bars and still be hungry unlike dark chocolate, she noted.<\/p>\n

Plus, the high sugar content can lead to blood sugar spikes which could cause sugar cravings later in the day.<\/p>\n

There is 31g of sugar in a single 51g bar, as well as 8.1g of fat and 225 calories. <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Nestle Aero Milk Chocolate Bar<\/h3>\n

While its bubbly texture might seem light, one 36g bar contains 20.7g of sugar which is roughly two thirds of what the average adult should eat in a day.<\/p>\n

"It lacks the benefits of high cocoa dark chocolate and can be easily over-consumed," Sophie warned.<\/p>\n
