    If it fits into your macros/calories then it works!!!

    I have something sweet most nights, usually a semi-decadent iced coffee. And I never have a mall day without a mini Chocolate Xtreme Blizzard.

    I have a square of chocolate every day, as well as other "natural" sweets (celery and PB or a handful of almonds and dark chocolate chips do wonders for sweet cravings!) and I rarely feel the need to go crazy when faced with other less healthy sweets and temptations. I definitely believe in giving in to little sweets in moderation rather than losing it and feeling regretful after

    I make sure I leave room for something sweet in my calories every day.

    I really want a cake or chocolate but they don't give anything good to my body. Fruits do.

    You know what else doesn't do your body any good? Starving yourself. Just sayin', since you're getting judge-y about treats :)

    I don't see anything judgey in her post. Or anything about starving herself.

    There is such a backlash around here against the idea of restriction that any hint that someone has chosen to stop eating X food seems to be taken by others as a personal attack. What's up with that?

    I think you will find that this is quite common.

    On most days I have 1, and on a few days, I have several.

    If it fits in your calories/macros, do it. I leave room sometimes for a sweet treat (icecream, little bit of chocolate, biscuits/cookies). There's not point depriving yourself of it, learn how to eat this stuff in moderation and the changes you make while you're losing weight (or doing whatever your goal is) will become habits for a lifetime.

    If it fits in my calorie goals, and I'm looking pretty smoking with my macros, heck yeah I do. Ice cream every night! I have not binged once since I started in June, because I don't restrict myself. I fit it into my goals and I am a happy camper.

    Exactly.

    Well, apparently pastries don't count either, at least according to the French snack thread. Oh, and they're not "snacks" either because apparently French pastries are entirely too upscale to be called "snacks." And, interestingly enough, there is upscale sugar and it has magical properties. Good times in the forums today.

    I do. My vice is 8 ounces of Mountain Dew for breakfast 4-5 days of the week. 110 calories.

    i allow myself 1 sweet thing in a day and no matter where it falls, that is the only sweet thing for the day. i figure if i do this im less likely to go over board in the end.

    Very good thread. It reminds me of when I was doing Weight Watchers. I wasn't on a diet just counting points instead of cals. Anyway, I ate a sweet treat every night and I lost weight at a very good pace. Now I have been depriving myself on some days even when I want it, I try to ignore the feeling but lately I have been going crazy eating everything sweet ever invented and going WAY over my cals because of this. I say its up to the person, but for me it works if I eat something sweet every day and plan it in my cals so I won't binge :happy:

    No carrots, tomatoes, bread? Wow...

    If I'm in the mood for something sweet I'll fit it in. If not I don't worry about it.

    Nope. No bread, carrots, tomatoes. I buy some turkey meat with >1 gram of sugar, but thats about it. I love sweets unfortunately, but its addictive and not worth it.

    Yep, that pretty much describes me too. Some of my sweets are worse than others, but yeah. This week I had two Cadbury eggs, on different days.

    I also consider Greek yogurt like noosa, or plain Fage mixed with fruit/nuts to be a sweet...but on those days I may have another "tame" treat later in the day too like some peanut butter and banana or a kids Clif Z bar.

    Every day I have a treat. Whether its 2 custard creams, some cake, a timeout, 6 chunks of cadburies, etc etc.

    Does anyone else do this almost daily? I started off with no sweets for 2 weeks and just became a MONSTER to be around! lol Now I count it into my daily cals and haven't went like a month without a daily sweet or bad food. Weight loss is still happening at the same rate.

    I know its an awful habit but I have tried so many restrictive diets and have always found the sugar deprivation is what killed it so early in the game. I think I'll always have a VERY sweet tooth!

    Anyone else?

    Sort of, but being sugar sensitive I can't trust myself to eat a sweet each day and stop there. I plan my sweets in and don't eat them often.

    I love Coconut Diary Frozen Desert with no sugar added, as well as sugar free dipped pretzels. I have both as often as possible.
