Don’t Throw Away Your Sweets Just Yet
When some people begin a diet, they start by removing all desserts, chips, and junk food. But experts are never against dessert. “Everyone should allow themselves a daily treat,” says Registered Dietitian and nutrition expert Sarah-Jane Bedwell. “There is no reason why a 100- or 200-calorie snack can’t fit into a healthy diet.”
Eating sweets releases chemicals in the brain that help you feel good, according to nutritionists. This mood boost can motivate people to work harder at their healthy diet. Some sweets, such as dark chocolate, can also benefit your health overall.
