The "Gift" Of Calories
It happens in the office and around holidays. It's those two-sticks-of-butter desserts people encourage us to eat. Don't eat enough and you'll hear, "What, you don't like it? It doesn't taste good? If you like it, why didn't you eat very much?" How have you dealt with this situation? What can you do or say in the future? Have you ever made a healthy meal or snack to show someone food can taste good and be good for you?

0 0 I always substitute low fat ingredients for the full fat ones. No one knows the difference. For Thanksgiving I make a Weight Watchers pumpkin mousse. People will eat it without knowing what it is. View full response

0 0 I hate "food police" people, even if they just ask because they think you didn't like it. I usually respond by just telling the person that I'm on a good old-fashioned diet. View full response
