When a treat is a treat?

How many times during the week do you eat a dessert after a meal?  If you are like most americans then you probably said more than once a week.  We as a culture have come to expect and even demand a sweat treat at the end of certain meals.  This is especially true when we go out to our favorite restaurant.  The problem with this is that the sweat treat is killing us slowly.  Desserts should be a treat and not a common part of the meal that feels like we have left something out when we don’t get it.  The next time you have dinner try to push away that cheesecake.
