Here’s a challenge and an opportunity.
\nMake tomorrow “desert dessert day.” Don’t have any dessert all day-if possible. Have fruit (grapes, kiwis, apples, plums, etc.)
\ninstead.
\nWhat if you didn’t have desserts at all? If you did nothing else, and
\nate regular food in reasonable quantities but no desserts or candy you
\nmight well lose 3-4 pounds in a month.
\nThink about it. Add it up. An average piece of pie or cake is 400
\ncalories or so. If you have one every day that’s 2,800 excess calories
\na week or 12,400 excess calories a month.
\nIt takes only 3,500 less to lose each pound. So eliminating 12,400
\nexcess calories a month would add up to 3.5 pounds gone! <\/p>\n

Please comment: what are YOUR thoughts on dessert? Is it a problem for you, or not?.<\/p>\n

And please tell your friends, family and co-workers about this daily blog.  The more the merrier!<\/p>\n
