I lovelovelove dark chocolate, (and other strong, pungent things like goat cheese and dark beer) but these taste just plain wierd. It's not terrible, but I can taste the hoodia, sorta like dried grass mixed in with the chocolate. I think they work at reducing hunger, but they give me gas so bad I can't be sure if I want to eat less because of the hoodia, or the gas. Maybe I'll try the *regular* ChocoLeans, but I won't be buying this again. FYI: I absolutely LOVE the Phytobase powdered chocolate hoodia shake mix. I have no problems with that. Tastes great, works great. And no gas!!

I love the taste of these little Chocolates. I find that I need to have one 1 hour before eating - less and they don't work. If I have two in one day (late morning, mid-afternoon) the effect is cumalative. I can eat a very light dinner and be completely satisfied.

ChocoLeans DO work to suppress actual hunger; however, they do nothing for that "I feel like eating" feeling. I use them to suppress the hunger, and then when I still feel like eating, I know it is not real hunger but my usual food fixations. It helps me psychologically anyway, to interpret my feeding feelings! Also, they work best if you do not eat one hour before and after taking. (Drinks don't count, that doesn't seem to affect anything.) I love the taste, and can't tell much difference between the sugar-free and regular ones...sugar-free are only about 6 calories less. It is a very dark chocolate, so if you don't like dark you probably won't care for.
