HEALTHY EATING IS often associated with depriving yourself of the things you love. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. You can still enjoy the rich, smooth creaminess of chocolate, the comfort of a slice of cake or the bite of a spiced biscuit. It just comes down to a few tweaks when you’re choosing your treats.
Remember, too, that it’s not only sweet foods that add to your blood sugar load; baskets of bread, pizzas and other carb-heavy foods will also see your blood sugar heading upward. Check the carbohydrate content of packaged foods to get an idea of the impact they could have.
