    It seems there are way more people in the "eat the donut" camp. I ended up surveying my office to see if anyone would mind if I moved the box to a different breakroom down the hall. They agreed and the donuts were gone by noon! Donut temptation averted, for now...

    Good Thinking! WIN:flowerforyou:

    I think I'd change the question to, "Why should I eat this donut?" So, why should you?

    Man, I feel for you. College student/free food/donuts? I got nothing. But I will pray for you. Even if your not the praying type. Alternatively WWKD?

    He'd say, "Righteous, dude! Eat the donut!"
  • Because it stays in your system for 3 days.

    Whoa....you poop every three days?

    Eat one or two a week and go for a walk... a donut is about 200-250 calories...

    I have donuts every Saturday about (500+) calories of them...I then go for a1- 2 hour walk.

    Everything in moderation. One doughnut occassionally won't kill you. But I am one to talk....I am actually going to NC State this weekend to do the Krispy Kreme Challenge....10th year....8,000 people do it....raises money for Children's Hospital.....but you have to run 2.5 miles, eat a dozen Krispy Kremes, then run back 2.5 miles in less than an hour. It isn't that easy (I did a trial run)....the running is easy, but eating 12 doughnuts when you have been exercising, is not very easy!

    I'd just donate the money and save myself the puke-fest. I didn't know such a thing existed! Good luck with your run! :)

    OP, I think you need to re-evaluate whether or not low-carb is sustainable for you. Moderation, not deprivation.

    I lost six pounds in six weeks doing strict no-carb. Then Christmas happened. And New Years. I'm trying to get back to what I was doing in the fall.

    Don't eat the donut simply because its a poison to your body and your goal...

    Whenever im tempted to eat beyond the safety zone, i always remind myself this will kill you, destroy your goals and your life. It's the product of a corporation that attempts control and manipulate you and your actions, to be helpless and to be in the plans of their sinister idea of causing obesity on the public!!
    ....Then again this is what i think to avoid such foods >.> it helps me a lot lol

    Just dont eat the donut because its not worth the calories and what it give you in return. Instead eat something that gives nutritional benifits, even if its not tasty.

    Not all have the same nutrition though. Depends on what place, size, type. The peanut covered donut I ate had a lot more calories.

    There are a couple things you can do here.

    1. Let everybody else pick over them before you go to the box. If all the "good" ones are gone you may decide you'd rather not have any than have one you don't like.

    or

    2. You can go pick out 1, just 1, donut that you like and let it sit on your desk until meal or break time. Its ok to have a donut once in a while. You can have one every day if you allow room for it.

    Find out what work for you. :)

    Thinking a donut is poison that will kill you and ruin your life is what we xann irrational thinking. This is a serious sign of an extremely unhealthy relationship with food and may indicate an eating disorder. This is the sort of thing anorexic people say. Not normal people.

    Eat the donut, fit it into your day, and maintain your deficit…

    One donut is not going to ruin you ...
