I have the metabolism of an elephant. If I'm not very careful what I eat and how often and hard I exercise, I go from Viggo Mortensen to cave troll in about a week. I probably have my paternal genes to thank. Just to give you an idea: I gained nearly 30 pounds in 3 months when I hurt my back. And that was continuing my diet.
What does this all mean for my sweets intake? It focuses it into a laser. I eat sweets VERY rarely an when I do I only have the good stuff. Ghirardelli milk chocolate square. Krispy Kreme donut hole (yes, that's singular). Ferro Rocher.
