When are you allowed a sweet[t]reat? - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Me personally? Whenever I want.

However, I have figured out how to learn the difference between a sugar addiction signal and me wanting it, as in the mind in control of all the signals and messages the brain and body generate.

If I have too many sweets too often, my body and brain start telling me they want more. But that’s not the same as me wanting the experience of something sweet.

The sensations are really fucking similar though, until examined.

So, in general, I tend to have something sweet fairly often, but not more than once a day since that’s about how often I truly enjoy the experience rather than just getting a sugar rush out of it. Even then, it means adjusting other intake to allow for it when it’s every day. If it’s more like weekly or twice a week, it isn’t as useful to fret over the nutritional aspect. It ain’t enough to matter at that rate of intake when it’s controlled.
