I don't understand why you have sugary treats? Why not substitute?
My long term goal is to keep the weight off guy.. I like sugary treats !!
If I cut them all out I won't stick to keeping the weight off.
To be fair most of my sugary treats are now replaced by a banana
Everyone's long term goal is to keep the weight off mate but a sugary treat here, a sugary treat there every day will snowball I can almost guarantee. As I've said before I'm probably the biggest chocolate fiend I know, can quite happily smash home a 250g bar of Dairy Milk in one hit or a whole tub of Haagen Daz.
I did it last year and for a while I would only have a crunchie at night or an ice cream and then it was a couple or both. Before I knew it I was back on the nutty bus eating bundles of the stuff and shares were probably rising by the day.
I only touch them at Weekends now, keep it to those 2 days a week and during the week if I want a sweet I'll have a protein bar/cookie. That way I feel like I'm having a treat when essentially I'm just having something that's reasonably good for me.
Guy is right that you're setting yourself up for a fall with the sweets every day, it spikes your insulin and then you'll crash so will want to wallop more carbs to get the rush back. Fair play to you if you can do it but given that we're all in roughly the same situation for a reason because we're not too good at skipping past the nutty drawer, the bar or the kebab shop I'd try to change it.
I'd say it's safer if you try and give yourself a day where you can eat a big bar or have a blow out on the sweets. Do it the day after a weigh in if you can though so that you're not going to be carrying a bunch of water weight from all the crap

Might seem ironic that the Augustus Gloop of Blonde is giving advice on chocolate but I've done it myself so know the coup
