This is an interesting paragraph. I know that I certainly have come to
really resent eating anything junky that is not really really good. The
last thing I want is a piece of crappy, calorie loaded cake. If I eat cake,
I want it to be delicious -- from the first bit to the last. Anything else
is unacceptable. Getting to the point where two bites is enough is indeed
something I need to work on, however.

And Cheeto's are crap food, imo.


If I'm going to have a serious cheat, I'll have a peice of cake, one
that I made from scratch with a real buttercream (or whipped cream)
frosting, not some store bought yuck fest topped with shortening and
powdered sugar, or, worse, a cake out of a box mix with canned
frosting. That's not worth anyone's time, dieting, or not. Long
story short, give me a quality cheat, not a substandard one. I'm with
you, give me something worth eating, not just junk.

That reminds me, does anyone have a good lc recipe for fruitcake
(light, not dark)? I'm thinking of doing one with nuts, berries, and
some other lc friendly fruit (none of that nasty traditional candied
fruit, ick, pooey). I know, you start with almond flour...
