Anyone else enjoying the sweet stuff!!

[maidentomother]

I'm not eating much sugar most days.. Should I have more?

For me, eating more sweet stuff and refined/°processed foods is a big part of what enables me to stick to the diet and avoid animal protein and fatty foods, especially since I usually don't eat much sweets/junk and DO eat high fat. So it's like a consolation prize - if I can't have the super healthy fatty/protein foods I crave, at least I can have the mostly empty cals sweet junk that used to be a rare treat.

What kind of sweets are allowed? Does it need to be low fat lollies or is cakes and chocolates and ice cream ok too? Do they need to be some sort of low fat muffins lol.

I am hopeless at counting calories so I have just eaten 2-3 times a day finishing one of these meals with dessert just to get enough calories. I need about 1800 cal a day.

Chocolate difficult to fit in I find as high fat but if you work it out can fit it in. I eat cakes and biscuits to make up numbers. Mini battenburgs, cherry bake wells and fondant fancies (Uk) are my usual ones! Also foxes glacier fruits have calories but no protein or fat so are good! X

Now it's getting colder, low cal instant hot chocolate is good for a warming chocolate hit!

They are all allowed provided they fit in totals for the day.

Remember, you need a minimum of 25 g of fat and some go up as high as 60 g fat - and really that is plenty of fat to enable you to enjoy some treats now and then.

LE Diet is not about cutting out fat all together, you need some fat or you will stop ovulating

I eat either moderate servings of low fat/fat free treats OR very small servings (a few bites) of full fat treats like white chocolate OR I sometimes (max once a week) have a small-normal serving of full fat ice cream or cake/pastry. So most days my treats are filling but low fat OR high fat but just a nibble, with occasional larger fatty cheat treats no more than once a week

I personally don't have more than one or two small squares of dark choc per week since I feel it's a strong blue sway food. If I want something with chocolate I eat 1 oreo cookie or a few bites of brownie.
