Chocolate diet is timed for the course of 5-7 days, not more! After one course you should make the break for 4-6 days. Also don’t forget to ask advice from your doctor before beginning, if you have problems with liver.
Diet: during a day you can eat two bars of chocolate in 40 grams, drink sugar-free coffee with non-fat milk. You have to drink only in 3 hours after meal.
