Self-control and moderation are important cornerstones of any long-term diet or meal plan. While I have yet to master it (and am far from it), I believe in healthy alternatives and moderation over elimination. After a good wake, I treated myself to two half cookies and a half donut from a local bakery. This didn’t feel like much of a ‘cheat’ as what I had was dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and free from refined sugars! With all that, absolutely no sacrifice in flavor!
