    Enjoy one (with no guilt of course) if your cals in your day allow it! :tongue:

    don't deprive yourself,,enjoy it and eat it early in the day....I buy snack size and most of the time it satisfies me....it's just the taste your craving.....

    I have one and work it into my calories or do a little bit of a workout to counteract it.
    No biggie :)

    Find someone to share it with! Even half of it should satisfy the craving for the taste and you make someone else happy, too.

    I eat a kit kat. Once and a while is not going to hurt. I just make sure I fit it into my calories for the day.

    Go with the little one and savor it. I was fighting the twix battle myself ;) It won't hurt in the long run, just don't let them become part of a habit.

    I agree. Don't deprive yourself. Have either a half or a snack size and if it doesn't fit into your daily allowance, go for a walk this evening and work it off. You won't stop thinking about it until you have it. If you are making a lifestyle change, it has to be one you can live with and denying yourself everything is not a lifestyle you can live with.

    I love these ideas, thanks. I can never fit it in my calorie goal, so working it off through exercise is the key! I'm not sharing:noway:

    Eat it. When I want Ben and Jerry's frozen yogurt, i get it. Just make sure it isnt the only thing you eat all day long.

    Grab a kit-kat, figure out how much I have to work out to make up for the calories if I eat it. Decide that it's worth the extra effort and then eat it! And if it's not worth it, I put it back for a day when it is worth it!

    Have one piece, if you just HAVE to have one. I'm on a low carb diet so am never really allowed chocolate. The other night, I just needed some chocolate something awful. I had a small handful of milk chocolate chips. It hit the spot. Sometimes, just a little is all we need, even though our brains might tell us we want more. So just have one piece and put the rest away.

    Compared to most chocolate bars, a kit kat is rather low in calories (the amount for the whole thing is about half that of a Kinder Bueno for example). So if you /must/ have a chocolate bar then it's the one to go for.

    OR

    Wait ten minutes (to see if the feeling passes)
    Drink water
    Eat carrot sticks
    Use a distraction mechanism (I have an elastic band on my wrist which I snap to distract from cravings)

    Hope that's helpful :)

    I would eat it. This is a lifestyle change and if a KitKat is what I want then that is what I'm gonna have. I'm just not going to have more than one and I'm gonna eat it really slow and maybe even see if 1/2 of it will give me the sensation I'm looking for. Pay attention to your cravings. Is it the chocolate you crave, the crunch? You don't want to get to the point where you feel deprived or you won't keep doing this. I eat "unhealthy" food every day, but that is a heck of a lot better than eating unhealthy food all day every day. What are you comfortable with? Are you comfortable giving up the Kit Kats all together? If not, work it into your day. Good luck!

    I'd eat it - AFTER I do the workout to earn the calories. It is so much nicer to sweat, shower, then sit down and savor every bite, than to eat it and workout wondering if it was really worth it. Because it was, I just don't see that in the moment of the workout. :smile:

    Love this plan! Working for it, I can see how that would make it an extra special treat after a hard workout. Not a food reward, I don't mean it that way. Simply a treat you plan to have after working your butt off.:tongue:

    If it is REALLY bad, I eat the Kit Kat.
