Halloween Candy: How Much Will You Eat?

It's that time of year again -- that wonderful Halloween season when gorging on bags and bags of candy is not only rationalized, it's expected.

But those of us who've survived a few Halloweens know that treats can do your diet in if you're not careful. You're surrounded by temptation -- especially if you have young kids -- and it's up to you to make sure you don't overdo it.

So how many goodies will it be for you this year?

Last week, I asked you if you keep a food journal or if you record what you eat some other way. Your response?

  • 33 percent have tried but just can't keep it up.
  • 27 percent definitely can keep it up -- they keep track of everything.
  • 26 percent try their best, but they might miss a day every now and then.
  • 14 percent can't be bothered, it's too much work.
One good reason to keep a food journal? It might be good for your love life.
