A Senior Health Scientist and author of Golden Key Works’ Nutrient Blast shares their love for desserts, saying they enjoy a large slice of cheesecake (500-1000 calories per slice) with strawberries or a cookie and Coca-Cola as a treat. They limit their indulgences to once or twice a month, emphasizing moderation over elimination. Recommendations suggest enjoying your favorite foods in smaller portions and less often, like having a slice of cake or a soda twice a month rather than regularly. You’ve got this!!

Finding the right balance and making smart dietary choices are key to maintaining a healthy weight.

Do carbohydrates make you gain weight?
