Fall unofficially begins when big bags of bite-sized candy start popping up on store shelves. One mini candy bar here and there won’t haunt you. But, if you’re not careful, those BLTs (bites, licks and tastes) can spook your diet.
The good news is you can include sweet treats in your meal plan if you watch your portions. The best advice is to wait until after you’ve eaten a balanced meal so you’re not eating sweets on an empty stomach.
If you decide to indulge, the rule of thumb is “limit four.” That’s how many fun size bars are in a full-size candy bar. When you’ve had too much of a good thing, don’t sweat it. Get back on track the next day to avoid the snowball effect.
