Sweets, pastries and sugary desserts
Chocolate, ice cream, pastries and cakes pack lots of calories into a small volume. The pleasure is real: the goal is not a ban but frequency and quantity.
Benchmarks
- Added sugars should stay under 10% of daily calories (ideally under 5%).
- Pick a small portion, sit down, no screen, and really enjoy it.
- Avoid buying large quantities: what is not at home is easier not to eat.
