If you’re craving a homemade peanut butter cookie go for one tablespoonful of peanut butter spread on banana slices.
If you’re about o buy a bag of regular M&Ms buy a bag of Hershey kisses and have 4 and save the rest for your next craving.
If you’re out and want a Tim Horton’s Old-Fashioned Glazed doughnut order a Maple- or Chocolate-Dip doughnut instead…just not everyday.
If you want Ruffles Regular potato chips while watching TV go for Triscuit Thin Crisps instead.
If you need your carbs like a white-bread bagel with butter and jam in the morning go for an English muffin with only jam. You won’t even notice there’s no butter.
