I also am a terrible chocoholic, but high quality dark chocolate can contain less than 4 grams of sugar per serving. I save my sugar expenditure on dark chocolate daily. I don't even like sweet milk chocolate anymore! Limiting sugar gets easier as time goes on. I hope someone is doing a thyroid panel with the high TSH as Hypothyroidism is possible. Hypothyroidism is a side effect of some immunotherapies and one symptom is weight gain. My husband is permanently hypothyroid as a result of Pembrolizumab and his TSH and T4 are still erratic even on levothyroxine supplement daily. The oncologist keeps adjusting the dose. I am ready for him to see an endocrinologist instead of just monitoring with the oncologist. I have been hypothyroid for many many years but very stable on levothyroxine despite all the cancer treatments. Good luck and treat yourself to some dark Ghiradelli .....you deserve it!

Major problem is that Dark chocolate tastes like Exlax.

I'll eat dark chocolate, but only if it covers peppermint filling or marizpan almond paste, which defeats the purpose of reducing sugar. 🙂

I am trying and will eventually not "WANT" chocolate. Didn't want any chocolate during chemo, but then, didn't want to eat anything else either except for cheese ravioli in tomato sauce.

Bye,
