I haven't heard anyone on here using it, but if you get the pure cocoa powder bournville (I think) with no added sugar, it is actually very low carb - I used to make it up with cream a few years back when doing atkins and it had no effect on ketosis.....mmm!

Perfect example of, just cos you have read it on here from one person, dont mean its ok to do!
ps Starlight search is not working properly!
I think the reason it did not come up in search is because ma.bo called it coco powder and not cocoa which caused some confusion
The cocoa powder the member mentions is low carb and cals per teaspoon, almost comparable with bouillon lol The sugar content will be a lot different though I am sure
Either way its not something I would try/risk (as I am also trying hard to get out of the habit of chocolate) but it may work for that member just like some are happy to substitute bars etc. Different strokes for different folks and all that, whilst in the ideal world we should all be having 3 exante packs and water a day and only that, if a teaspoon of cocoa thrown into someone's shake now and then or a different bar keeps someone plugging away at this extreme diet for the long term then good for them I say

I can haz cake?
3.0g of carbs in a tablespoon of UNSWEETENED cocoa. You of course should still check the label - Calories in Cocoa, Dry Powder, Unsweetened, Processed (that is info for generic cocoa)
