 | | 6 / 7 6. Indulge wisely
Sure, you should aim to eat as healthily as you possibly can. But diet plans often backfire -- even get abandoned -- when they become obsessive. The key to eating well is all about balance -- knowing when to eat right, and when to indulge. Junk foods tend to be high in fat, salt, refined carbs and trans fat, so they're not for everyday consumption. But still, as long as you're eating well most of the time, they're fine as an occasional treat. Here's how to satisfy your cravings in moderation:
Identify your top can't-live-without treats and indulge only in them. If peanut-butter cookies are your fave, don't waste calories on anything but. Purchase a single-serving package so you won't over-indulge. If you're craving for chocolate sundae, half-size your servings by splitting desserts with your friend.
