Question:
Sometimes I really have a craving for chocolate! Would it be terrible to indulge every so often?
Answer:
Sometimes I feel the same way! I grew up in a big family, surrounded by lots and lots of food — including sugary sweets! It's okay to splurge once in a while, but I always try to eat better the next day. A good goal is to eat well 80 percent of the time and have treats 20 percent of the time. That's why I exercise — so that once in a while I can enjoy the foods I love.
To satisfy your yen for chocolate, you could try better-for-you treats like a couple of Tootsie Rolls, a fat-free fudgesicle, or hot chocolate with skim milk. These are just a few of my favorites. And occasionally go for a real chocolate bar!
