The a new way of eating chocolate, by breathing it, It is Le Whif(EUR 10/pack of 6), a lipstick-size inhaler filled with chocolate particles but with less than a single calorie. Available in 4 flavors: mint chocolate, raspberry chocolate, mango chocolate, and plain chocolate.

I heard of something like this a few months ago. It's supposed to help people lose weight, & there may be something in it. Though I'm not really supposed to eat it, I love chocolate, & if I smell it that can often ease my craving for it. If people who eat lots of it & find it hard to resist chocolate can repeatedly smell it, that might put them off actually eating it, enabling them to lose weight.

Apparently, you can get patches for losing weight, you sniff them and it's supposed to kill the craving for that food. This must be along the same principle.

i can understand it for that, theres so many alternatives that you can get with chocolate though, dairy free, suger free(there not very nice though) that you can get instead of an inhaler

But if people try a dairy/sugar-free version of the chocolate they like & then find they don't like it, they might go back to the one they shouldn't be having. For those people, it's probably better not to eat any at all.

It sounds far too frustrating. Smelling chocolate but not being able to eat it ? That would be torture.

I can't relate to the concept of smelling something easing the craving for it. In my case it just increases it!

It makes me feel like I've been eating it. I suppose it's the same thinking as those who work with sweets or cakes often finding they don't actually eat much of them - having them around all day fools the brain into thinking you've been eating them when you haven't.

I'd give it a go. In fact whack chocolate on anything and I'll eat it!!

Me neither. Do you remember when you were at school there were those rubbers and loads of kiddy stationary that smelt like fruit ?
I always wanted to eat my rubbers.

Yeah. I can see that if you're around a particular smell on a frequent basis it can desensitize you to its appeal - and the appeal of the product itself.

Just having a hit of chocolate inhalation to stop a craving would definitely be on the counterproductive side for me though!

At least to start of with until I'd spent enough time smelling it to get thoroughly bored with it.

I appreciate that's just my own experience though and that it might affect others differently.

Yeah! ...and now as an adult I have to deal with fruity lipsticks. Great if you're after the bee-stung look.

Would make me just want a chocolate bar as well!

never understood wine tasting, this is worse!
