For 'treats'. I pick up those Andes mints. You have have 8 of them, and it's like 200 calories or something. I am out, so I would have to read them when I have them, but out of most of the candy. I have to have something good, but low calories. Having 8 of those tiny mints almost makes me think I have had a 1500 candy bar.

If you follow a 'diet' for long enough it just becomes how you eat. That is the case with me now. I know what my daily calories look like but I still like to count most of the time to keep myself on track. After two years of eating as I do now which is low fat, more veggies than meat, slow burning foods to control insulin and the occasional 'cheat' day it is just how I eat and if I stray for more than a couple days I feel rubbish.
