Lola: The Weight Loss Chocolate
Weight loss chocolate Lola was unveiled at a European chocolate show (wish I'd had an invite to that).
The makers Cocoa Bio claim the consumer will "immediately feel a sensation of pleasure and will detect that we have eaten an appetite satisfying food thus reducing the feeling of hunger and making us feel better" (note this is an English translation).
Personally I think it's the slime green color. One look at what you're eating and you're sure to put the chocolate box down.
The secret is in the cholecystokinin - a peptide hormone secreted by the brain to suppress hunger. The chocolate apparently stimulates that generation of the hormone by having extract of jojoba seed
The green color? It comes from the presence of the algae Spirulina.
Only available in Spain so don't get too excited.

There's probably something too it. Appetite hormones are powerful. If this engineered bonbon really does what it says, then too bad it's only available in Spain!
ReplyIf there is enough interest they may bring it to the UK.
ReplyThe green color doesn't bother me. It kind of looks like a lot of chocolates that have mint in them too ...
ReplyI thought the same. Mint or pitashio nut chocolates have a green color.
ReplyI agree... looks fine to me! :-) I have a friend in Spain... I must ask him about this!

That was a quick response. I only put the post up an hour ago!
Do you have any research to back up the claims of appetite suppression?

Hi,
ReplyDo you have any idea when the chocolates will be available in the UK. It sounds fantastic and I'm sure will sell well.

Hmm, looks different. How much cocoa content does it have? If I'm going to have chocolate, I want chocolate with 60% cocoa or more. I kind of like the green color, though...it looks pretty.
ReplyLooks to be 70% cocoa.
