How often do you eat sweets?

maybe 2-3 times a week in summer? I have 100 calorie ice creams after dinner, i love them because they come portion controlled packets and i cant over do it. it may not be as much as id like but i don't miss out. But I have l dialled back things like chocolate or sugar heavy items as I am finding i end up up like a vampire hungry for blood. it takes a few days for me to stop desiring the sugar hit.1

I would eat something daily. Now that I reset everything I am trying to abstain for at least 3 months or so while my body adjusts to lower sugar intake.0

Mwahahahaha, I am a bad influence
Most of the treats I like are of the cold variety, so rediscovering them really filled a void for me.0 -

I disagree. I look at my European ancestors and they knew how to eat everything in moderation and lived healthily well into their 90s. Also I'd say I'm doing pretty well myself, both inside and out.
I’m glad you’re doing well. But I tend to think your ancestors didn’t have the same access to such a highly refined diet as most people have nowadays. When you say everything in moderation back then - that is still higher in healthy fat and lower in sugar/refined carbohydrate that most of us are. Although I get your point - I don’t suspect you’re eating donuts and cakes everyday!

I eat candy almost everyday as my pre-workout .. I eat donuts and cake once or twice a week. But definitely something sweet everyday6 -
Just about everyday. I calculate it into my daily goal. 0

I find sugar laden food stimulates my appetite so I try to avoid having it.0

Every single day0

Daily. I didn't know I was missing that a half cup of Blue Bell No Sugar Added ice cream with 4 oz of Sugar Free 7-Up would make such a delightful float.1

Most days i have something. I always have fruit. Often, I have a piece of chocolate. Sometimes, I have ice cream. I rarely eat candy. Lately, I have been going to the crepe cafe near my place once a week or so.0
Just what we needed... another treat option that we like
