They are delicious. It wasn't a bad thing. All it is : 1 can of black beans, cocoa powder, stevia. Put I put vegan carob chips. Then after i ate them ALL, I saw how high in fat they are. I'm talking 3/4 a cup of chips. Ohmigosh. I wish I could get it through my head that I can't control my sweets. I am a sweetaholic. kc

The important thing is to stop beating yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on track. You may have messed up this one meal, this one day, but that's over, and you can start fresh! You're totally capable of doing this. But that was definitely a good lesson in label reading and knowing your limits. Molly Horn

This sounds like something I could have done sometime in the coming days. I'm always looking for a "legal" way in any diet to eat sweets. I'm addicted to sugary foods just like you. I have found myself craving cookies over the last few days so one day I had a peach and the other day a big bowl of watermelon. Hopefully, the cravings will end soon. I need to learn that a treat is ok once in awhile but not several times a day. Good luck. You are not alone in the sugar addiction.

I need to stay away from the sweets till my body normalizes and feels energetic. Then I know I can have a treat now and then. www

I bought Alicia Silverstones book and most recipes are filled with fatty ingredients (unless you are a superhero level) I need to lose weight, but find it very bland/unsatisfying to cook my food without any oil/earth balance/peanut butter and to eat boiled/steamed veggies and rice... I'm going to need a lot of help. Easy to give up meat/dairy but not my treats !

I have two boys and I have them on vegan style desserts like soycream and such. But it is so good, I can't stop eating it when I start. I would kill to finish a bowl of that fake ice cream. But I am going to kill myself eating it. I am Tpye II diabetic and weight 251. I was doing so well before. If I would just stop eating anything put together and just stick to a fresh fruit, I'd be okay. I am not one of those people that can have a little treat now and then. It sets me off. I NEED TO GET MY PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AS TO WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME. TEMPORARY SATISFACTION OR FEELING AND LOOKING HEALTHY. Lord help me.
