I feel like if I neglect myself from eating any sweets (healthy sweets.. not packaged processed stuff ;)), that's when I will be more likely to overeat unhealthy foods. I always allow myself to have a day (or two!) out of the week to indulge in vegan pancakes, some extra avocado, vegan cheese, homemade raw desserts...etc. Desserts doesn't automatically mean "unhealthy". I've tried to find a variety of vegan goodies that use all whole foods. Some include nuts, coconut milk , coconut oil and avocado, which are high in fats, but they are the good fats that your body needs. Just eat sensible amounts, as with any other foods you are preparing. That said, including healthy fats such as avocado and coconut oil into your diet may even help you lose weight, or to keep weight off.
