    Neutralize? I'm not sure I'm following. Sugar doesn't need neutralizing as the body is more than capable of taking care of itself. If it is guilt that you're trying to neutralize, just keep telling yourself that sugar is not harmless. Are you over your calories? If not, then congratulate yourself for staying under.

    No worries, a little sugar is not going to hurt you. No need for guilt just let it go like the others said.

    I don't have 'occasional' sugars. I have desert after dinner every day. Cake including.
    What do you mean 'neutralise' it? Why do you feel guilty?

    The best way to neutralize it is to develope a better relationship with food so you don't feel guilty for eating food.

    I find not beating myself up is the perfect anti-donut.

    anyone can share thoughts what to do when u have occasional sugar like doughnut or cake ( whats the best way to neutralise it )

    Why do you feel guilty when you eat something that is delucious? Everything in moderation.

    In the context of my diet overall, a doughnut here and there is pretty immaterial. No food makes me feel guilty.

    Me too. Apart from when I absolutely murdered that hummus.

    I get guilty if I leave a doughnut behind. If it's the last one looking at me.

    I've been known to go back and save it's *kitten*

    If it works in your eating plan, no guilt!
    If it didn't, oh well, tomorrow's a new day. If I can get in a vigerous workout, maybe I can make it fit.
    I also ask myself, "Did I really enjoy that?" If the answer is no, I explore why I ate that. If the answer is yes (because sometime you DO have to eat that thing because it's so awesome), then maybe I don't lose weight THAT day. Oh well.
    Guilt has a place in life. But if you have a plan, and you just messed up a little, then that's called being human. And there has to be some rigidity and some flexibility, which is hard to strike sometimes. But that's OK. If you do right most of the time, you'll be fine.

    I just eat it but control myself. I'm a sugar addict, I admit it.
