yes that's what I like about this "diet". You can pretty much each whatever you want... you just have to figure out how to make it fit in your daily goals... and then of course once in a while is fine. I still enjoy chocolate from time to time. I get dark chocolate and instead of eating the whole bar like I would have done before I only have a couple squares.

I still hit up McDonalds on the rare occassion but instead of getting a meal (often supersized) I skip the fries all together and get a grilled chicken sandwich or something instead of a big mac for example. If I REALLY need a french fry hubby doesn't mind if I steal one... but I only have one lol if I have more I will end up eating them all and one is just enough to give me a taste and satisfy the craving a little. So I just have to behave and remember moderation.
