sweet treats?

ashleeliza

How often do you incorporate sweet treats into your eating plan? I've begun to everyday, to hopefully not lead to another binge but was wondering, is that possibly too often? I've read that sweet foods store as fat or something.
Anyway I'd like to know your opinions on sweet treats!

I would say to try to go with the more natural options such as fruit, honey, all natural popsicles.

I have to have something every day, mainly chocolate, or I freak out and binge. I have 90 calorie fudge bars in my freezer, sugar free Jello pudding in my fridge, etc. I try to keep it low-cal, but I've tried to cut it out completely and had it backfire badly.

I eat ice cream or frozen yogurt at least once a day and French toast every day. I just use non fat fro yo that's 80kcal/half cup or a snicker doodle skinny cow ice cream sandwich that's 140 calories and for my french toast I use a low calorie/low carb/high protein bread and egg whites instead of whole eggs. Oh, and topped with sugar free syrup for 15 calories.

pretty much every day, when I don't let myself have a sweet treat, it leads to a massive binge.
So far, with allowing myself a daily treat or two ( yoghurt coated raisins etc) it keeps me away from a junk blow out.

Does it fit your calorie goal? Does it fit your macros? Then from a weight loss perspective, it's fine.

If you're considering health as well and not just calorie deficits, then choose something that's not too processed. Bake homemade cookies and put them in the freezer so you can have 1 or 2 now and then. Berries with a little honey and freshly whipped cream or yogurt or something. There's lots of choices.

This is a lifestyle change. Don't eliminate anything from your diet now while you're trying to lose weight that you're not willing to give up forever. Just make the best possible choices, keep treats in moderation, and watch portion size.
