Sometimes post that are too long are daunting, so...
I have a big problem w/ the way that we deal with diet in America. There is nothing wrong with eating sweet/high-fat foods, as long as they do not become the basis of your daily diet. Just like drinking beer, if you sit around and drink 12 soda's a day, you will get big. But, one coke every other day is not going to hurt you. Matter of fact, the same goes for candy and other sweets. If you are constantly depriving yourself of something, you are going to have a mental attraction to it. It becomes compulsive. Automatically want it when you see it. That is why we are such a fat country, we are always trying strange diets and developing so many weird OCD problems. I am serious. Look at how many people are on the Atkins diet, the most unnatural and unhealthy thing you can do. Think about it. Yeah, it may take a few pounds off, but unless you are a cardiac patient, those should be lost through exercise and moderate eating habits. They will be re-gained w/ Atkins. I think depriving yourself of something for too long causes emotional issues.....
What say you Monet? Am I on target?
