[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 642616, member: 4152"] I was thinking about how medical people use percentages for everything. I also greatly believe we eat waaaay toooo many sweets and it severely hampers weight loss. If you eat a sugary snack, two times a week, that's 2/7. That's like 28.5 %. Which is almost a third....which is kind of a lot. So....even if you only had a sugary dessert two times a week, it is kind of being generous and probably a little too generous if you wish to lose at a nice rate. in my humble opinion, to lose weight at a decent rate, we need to greatly reduce sugary foods and that means perhaps one sugary snack, one portion, once a week. When I'm able to do this, I do better and FEEL better too. I'm not counting on anyone having success with this, THIS particular week. Since I have auto immune problems and I need to lose a little weight, I hope to be able to eat sweets even less than this...maybe once or twice a month. I find that they really mess up my health and the scale. Oh, I like WW...but I always tweaked it, no matter what the program was at the time, I did less carbs/very little sugar. This works very well. I do like WW very much. These days, I'm not doing WW, just watching portions, eating very healthy foods, reducing carbs and greatly reducing sugar. When I'm consistent with this, it works very well for weight loss and I feel better overall. [/QUOTE]
