The truth is, we can actually eat anything as long as we take food in moderation and in portions. Thanks a lot for these healthy facts.

I loved the last approach. Made me LOL. Anyway, I generally try to stay away from sweets. I have fruits instead; when they are available. If not, I just enjoy a couple of bites of whatever dessert is available and move on with my life.

I'm a black-and-white girl. If I eat one brownie, I end up eating the whole tray. If I have one quarter of an eighth of a sixteenth of a slice of a pie, soon the whole pie is gone. I know no self-control; if I give myself an inch of leash, I'll start running and take a mile. On one of the whole-tray-of-brownies-and-a-dark-chocolate-mousse-cake day, I do a LOT fo cardio and try to get rid of it all, though sometimes I'm so blated from all the heavenly scrumptious delicious beautiful decadent.... *ahem* anyways I'm too bloated to actually do said exercise, and have to just about kill myself running the next day. Approach #8 made me laugh :)

Exercise erasure is my favorite tactic, but realistically speaking, I need portion control as well. Generally I'm OK with just having a little of something, but my downfall is when I have it with cheese on the side - the 2 balance each other out and I could go on forever that way!

I think eating in moderation would help. Mostly the problem seems to be that people don't know what a real serving size looks like. They cover half the plate with rice and still call it a serving when it's more like four servings. Too much intake and not enough burning of calories has the same result no matter which foods you're eating. Of course, pigging out on healthy food might at least keep the cholesterol levels in check...maybe...maybe not.

I could relate to all the disadvantages.

2010-02-02T05:31:08.162-05:00

you're SOOO funny, i was LMAOing (quietly because my mom's asleep) about the last thing on the list, i'm ALWAYS tsk-tsking at other people's food choices, my eyes usually become the size of saucers watching some people eat "suicide food" hahaha. I can actually feel MY arteries getting clogged, ick!

Anyways, i go for making desserts out of healthful things so i don't feel bad about eating them and i can eat them pretty much everyday. Like cake made out of whole wheat flour and applesauce or yogurt (replacing the butter) with fruit in it and plenty of wheat bran or oat bran or whatever bran, and using only egg whites (sometimes 1 whole egg if i'm feeling kind of crazy, lol)

See to me, if its good for me that makes it taste FREAKING AWESOME (even if it ain't) when i know something i make has like 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein in it and it's chocolaty, moist and yummy it makes me want to jump up and down and it makes me feel so good about myself.

If i know that something has like 5 grams of saturated fat, it makes it taste disgusting, actually my tongue thinks it tastes awesome, my brain is the one who want's to spit it out (stupid tongue).

But when i DO get confronted with the real thing i tend to just have a bite (or 2 or 3, again if i'm feeling kind of crazy) and that's usually enough for me. I just want a TASTE!

HOWEVER, and this is literally a big however, if i get left alone with the real thing and i'm, ahem, a little tipsy, that taste becomes a shoveling contest. Oh man! Next time i decide to drink i'm gonna have to duct tape my mouth shut, or super glue carrots onto my hands, mmmmm carrots...

Oh MAN you make me giggle!

I find that I have to use all of these strategies depending on my mood. Luckily I'm getting better at figuring out how best to manage myself and my cravings, so I can pinpoint which strategy will be most helpful at which time. But in general, I do to some extent employ all of them.

"Not that I plan to stop the tsk-tsking any time soon, but I do know I'm being a judgmental butthead." ME TOO! :)

I love exercise erasure and if I have to spend an hour and thirty minutes in the gym to indulge, so be it but I indulge with Skinny Cow or LesserEvil snacks etc.

I will make all kinds of exceptions for sweet potato pie though.

People who don't have a sweet tooth are so appalling.

I guess I do a combination of portion control, volumetric (less calorie dense for the volume), and planing. Eating warrior style makes it easier.

2010-02-01T18:35:37.055-05:00

II am a planner. I plan to have my healthy ones during the week. like 10-15 organic animal crackers/cookies or a couple graham crackers at night for a treat & I always plan for a REAL BIG OLE fattening cookie or 2 on the weekend. I work out hard during the week & eat pretty clean so I am not worried about these choices plus I exercise a lot too.

I never really go hog wild.. that is just me.

2010-02-01T17:15:52.666-05:00

Because portion control is a constant problem for me I guess I would fall into that category. As far as cutting back on sugar, that's different. One thing I like to do is instead of having something sweet at night (unless it's my treat day) I'll just have a bowl of cereal. A nice sweet bowl of cereal. I know cereal can pack Wollops of sugar, but nowhere near as much as a slice of boston creme pie or a half a dozen donuts.

2010-02-01T16:17:10.461-05:00

I have a massive sweet tooth. I eat a little dessert every day, and a LOT of dessert once in a while. If my pants get tight, I eat 'a lot' a little less.

2010-02-01T15:43:06.444-05:00

I have employed all of those strategies and probably ones that I cannot verbalize because I was too sugared out to remember what I was trying to employ. I have tried the exercise if off option and found that I would have to walk around the world about 40k times to work off some of the nights of dessert eating that I've had. It's not worth the food to have to walk that far.

2010-02-01T15:13:56.092-05:00

I'm pretty much a #5-#8 category. I count calories, I work it off, I eat the low cal stuff and I say ef it every now and then too. A pie at the grocery store came dangerously close to being eaten yesterday. That would have been #8 talking. :)

2010-02-01T14:44:51.412-05:00

I'm a black and white person because once I'm thru the gateway, I basically have no off-switch. So it's better for all involved that I don't even start with the sweets.
Plan B is #6 I'll circumnavigate the globe running to burn off my indiscretions.
