Walking the Walk - Day 7

Day 7: Loophole! Peanut M&Ms and Snickers candy bars are both low GI. Now this is a diet I can get behind.

OK, I kid. I might not have the best willpower in the world, but I'm diet savvy enough to know that Peanut M&Ms (which I love, by the way) should only show up occasionally in any healthy diet plan.

But I'm wondering if there's something to the idea that if I'm going to indulge, I should choose a treat that's low-GI. Treats are loaded with fat and calories, no matter what they do to your blood sugar, but maybe they're at least a slightly better choice? I'm not sure -- anyone willing to chime in?
