I know that Somersizing/Montignac allows chocolate, as long as it is mostly cocoa, which I saw in Costco (Ottawa) 4x100g, 80% Cocoa. I guess I shouldn't say "go nuts." :-)

Oh my, you know the way to this girls heart! I'll have to head to Costco this weekend! Incidentally, my dad is in maintenance on Suzanne Sommers and he eats a Burnt Almond (Cadbury, I think) chocolate bar, the whole thing, every night!! I can't wait to get there!

Cheers!

You're welcome, I'm sure, Dizz! I know a couple who are starting somersizing, and are finding the combinations a challenge, but getting chocolate as part of the plan seems a fair incentive!
The disadvantage of Costco stocking is that it is accurate for a month, or so, and then if someone does like the sales figures, pfffft, go look elsewhere. FWIW, Bloblaws has Lindt 70% Cocoa bars for $3, but if your Costco has the other (sorry, don't remember the manufacturor) you can snag an extra 10% cocoa for half the price.

BK, There is a Costco right down the road from me. What is the name of the chocolate bar that you guys are talking about in this thread?

Thanx,

Jim

I will try to get you the name on Monday, but a few caveats.
1. Costco works on a cost-effective basis, if it doesn't fly at any given store, they won't order/reorder it.
2. There seems to be great variety on what is available in any given area. e.g. Karen (I think) mentioned a protein powder in Costco that has almost 0 carbs. Not availabel at the Costco here.

TTYL, and good luck!

OK, these hummers are called:

CeMoi
Le Grand Chocolat
Intense

Their website, BTW is http://www.cemoi.fr
(i.e. imported from France)

As I mentioned in the first message, they are $6.29 Cdn for a sleeve of 4 x 100g bars. Hope you can find them down your way.

Thanx BK, I don't remeber seeing them when I was at Costco today but I will go back and ask. There are two Costco's in my area so if one doesn't have them, maybe the other will.
