To Sara of Fit by Sara: “Do I need to cut out all sweets in order to keep off the weight I’ve lost? I just love chocolate, but I know it’s not good for me. Do you eat any sweets?”
From Fit by Sara: “You don’t need to cut out everything you enjoy in order to lose weight and or maintain a healthy weight. Yes, I eat sweets and LOVE chocolate. In fact I incorporate chocolate into one of my snacks- a handful almonds and dark chocolate chips. Dark chocolate is an antioxidant and in moderation has health benefits. The key is MODERATION. You can eat sweets even daily as long as the portion is small. The best way to keep weight off is to continue to eat healthy and avoid depriving yourself of the things you love to eat.” -Sara Holliday MFT, CPT
