What's On Your Plate This Weekend?

Have you seen the latest diet that's running around these days that completely frees you of responsibility for what you eat on the weekends? I wasn't sure whether to be amused or appalled. Personally, I know what I'd do with carte blanche all weekend long-and it wouldn't involve broccoli, carrots or the broiled chicken I've got lined up for dinner tomorrow night!

Rather than saving your treats up and binging on them in a two day binge-fest that's going to completely ruin everything you've worked for all week long, why not treat yourself a little every night? Dark chocolate is actually a respectably healthy snack in small portions, and it does a great job of helping to curb your cravings. Pair it up with some red wine and you've got a Mediterranean style luxury snack.

Can't say "no" to that key lime pie? The key is all in the serving size. A small piece of pie isn't going to kill your diet, but eating the entire thing could have some nasty side effects. So pay attention to what's on your plate this weekend, and don't forget to treat yourself-in moderation.
