Tempting yourself unnecessarily? What a dumb way to diet. If you think you're strong enough to tempt your self control and come out on top, think again. After all, you ARE doing yet another Biggest Loser competition. Let's face it-- that means you have no self control. Tempting yourself unnecessarily can also include eating overly-sugary treats at all. Yes, eating only one Oreo may keep you in your calorie range, but it's not going to fill your stomach, and it's only going to make you want to eat just one more... until the entire sleeve is gone. Think about it this way: a single Oreo has about 80 calories in it. That's the equivalent of a very large apple or most of a banana. You can eat 12 Oreos no problem... but can you sit and eat 12 apples or bananas? Doubtful. If you get that insatiable craving for a sugary, crunchy then soft then crunchy Oreo, just sit and eat apples until your sick of sugar and your stomach is so full you couldn't cram in another bite without barfing, even if it were a bite of Oreo. I guarantee you'll still have consumed fewer calories than if you'd given in to "just one" Oreo.
