Dessert without backsliding: fit sweets into your goal

Dessert doesn’t have to “break” your goal. What breaks it is usually the pattern: hungry → sweets → more sweets.

2 scenarios that work best

1. A small dessert after a proper meal
   When you’re full, it’s easier to stop.
2. Dessert as its own meal
   If you want to do it “properly”: choose a portion and don’t add a sweet drink on top.

Common mistakes

• Dessert + sweet coffee/drink (double sugar hit)
• “Just a bite” with no portion → you overshoot
• Punishment fasting the next day
