Cheat foods: don't ever include doughnuts

Posted on Aug 1st 2007 2:20PM by Brian White
When on a diet, sometimes the highlight of the week is the day (or meal) where you can "cheat" on your diet and have a food item or items that tastes so good, but which would wreck most diets if eaten regularly.

Items like cheeseburgers, pizza and hoagie sandwiches are prime offenders here from what I have seen. How about breakfast pastries? They can be as bad, with all that refined flour, sugar and in many cases, tons of artificial coloring.

One of the all-time worst offenders? Doughnuts! These tasty non-treats have a negative health signature in every area, from sugar to oils (they're generally fried) to colors to an unreal amount of carbs for such a small food item. If you can, never (ever) include doughnuts in your cheat plan.
