I recently had the pleasure of sampling L.O.V.E Foods: Chia Love Bites & Chocolate Chia Sweet Hearts. I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first because it is not very often you hear the words chocolate and weight loss in the same sentence, however, after trying L.O.V.E’s products I believe you really can “have your cake and eat it too!” If you are anything like me, eating a well-balanced diet consisting of whole “real” foods often leaves you with a strong sweet tooth. L.O.V.E’s Chocolate Chia Sweet Hearts is an excellent way to satisfy your craving for something sweet without having to feel guilty. Chia Hearts and Chia Love Bites are great snacks for anyone (my 2 year old LOVED them), and they are strongly recommended for people trying to lose weight. I ate 2 Chia Love Bites before each of my meals (lunch & dinner) for 5 days and I can honestly say I saw a reduction in my appetite and ate less than I usually do. I personally like to save the Chia Hearts for after my meals, because they taste delicious and I enjoy them as a desert.With Christmas approaching, L.O.V.E’s products would be an excellent alternative to sugar/fat filled chocolates you get elsewhere, plus they arrive in a very cute heart shaped container with a pretty purple ribbon & bow.

OK. I’m not a Skinny Mom. I am a guy who is doing the best I can to stay in shape. I have completed three 90 day sessions of Tony Horton’s P90X fitness regimen. It works! Yet, I still battle my waist line because I have an insatiable quest for non-fattening TASTY chocolate treats. I’d given up. Enter L.O.V.E. Foods Chia Love Bites and Chocolate Chia Sweet Hearts. Nirvana! My healthy diet is now complete. Not only are the L.O.V.E. products delicious they even help me lose weight. Perfect! And, my son loves them too. Not only the taste but as a gift directed to his girlfriend’s heart.
lol well written. Typically it is beer that gives men a waisteline battle; refreshing to know that chocolate can be “the culprit” for men as well as women. The L.O.V.E. chocolates are delicious. Good luck.
I’ve been working on shaving off some weight that I gained due to some major stress last year and have been going strong for two months. Unfortunately, I definitely am still a bit weak when it comes to chocolate. These L.O.V.E. chocolates sound perfect for me! Thanks for the giveaway!
Something tasty that also helps curb my appetite? I so need to try this!
I LOVE chocolate and have been working out & eating well to lose weight. Now this L.O.V.E. chocolate method sounds like the perfect way to get my chocolate urge met and implement with my working out and eating well plan to lose weight. So pick me!! I’ll be a good example and will tell others about your product.
I love sweets but I also love being in shape. So, after about 3 years on this journey i’ve reduced my sweet intake drastically. However, it sometimes leaves you craving for sweets when you know you don’t really need it. I’d L.O.V.E. to win this giveaway to see what other alternatives there are to enjoying sweets and still loosing weight!
I’m a big fan of chocolates. The sad part is that I am vegan and there isn’t a big variety left for me to taste. I’m SOOOO glad to hear that this one is vegan. My gosh! All my favorites, from goji berry to pistachio nuts. I want to win it! Everyone deserves this! Hopefully if I do win, I can share it with everyone!
