Fat Habit 5: Ditching your favorite foods

Slim Solution: Diets won’t work for the long run if you deprive yourself of your favorite foods. What’s life without a little chocolate, cookies, or ice cream? Simple fact: If you have to say no to your favorite foods all the time, it won’t be too long before you snap, and start saying yes, yes, yes to everything in sight.

As long as you plan for occasional indulgences, you can enjoy them—guilt-free. If you honor your hunger, you’ll naturally limit the amount of high-calorie splurges that you eat.

Try these 100-Calorie Chocolate Treats for a really guilt-free indulgence.
