If you say: But I don’t cheat, I use diet snacks when I have a craving
Eat the real thing, but downsize your portion. When you want something sweet, all those fat-free, sugar-free options may seem like a smart choice for weight loss. One variety of an oatmeal-raisin cookie has 107 calories and 9 g of sugar, and the fat-free version of the same brand has 106 calories plus 14 g of sugar. Just stick to portion control.
