Healthy Food Chart

New York Times health correspondent Jane Brody once shared her secret for staying trim:  Controlled Indulgence. Brody's philosophy evolved out of her own struggle to lose weight.  She eventually  determined that "deprivation feeds desire and can lead to overindulgence at the first opportunity," and now allows herself her favorite treats (in limited quantities) on a daily basis.

It works for Jane but many people find that once that first potato chip, or chocolate chip cookie, or slice of pepperoni pizza crosses their lips, the game is over. I guess its a matter of determining YOUR diet personality. Do you do better with a program of controlled indulgence or are you more of an all or nothing type?
