[mario]

And all ice cream

[starty]

I admire you greatly. And will be interested to see how you feel after a while of doing that

[starty]

How many sweets etc would you eat a day?

[mario]

I just kept munching away at them once they were in front of me Starts, Always having more than one desert when I out, also buying snickers bars for energy ??

Black forest cake I would eat a whole one.

It was/is getting ridiculous with me, and I cant do moderation so its the alcohol rules now for me and that's it.

In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.[6]

Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections, includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. In the Middle East and Asia, flour-based confections are more dominant.

Sugar confectionery includes sweets, candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, sweetmeats, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of sugar confections.[7] The words candy (US and Canada), sweets (UK and Ireland), and lollies (Australia and New Zealand) are common words for the most common varieties of sugar confectionery.

Wha ? :headscratch:

I'm the same Mario - cannot moderate sweet foods.
I've resorted to 1 protein bar a day - Fulfil - Irish made and full array of vitamins. Very tasty & filling in the evening with a cuppa.

Afternoon all.

Sorry I know this is serious but I couldn't help chuckle at the image of this.

Hello Troopers!!

Wishing a Happy, Healthy and sober New Year to everyone.

Hope all are well - will read back when I get a chance.

As for the sweets, our store is next to a pastry shop. I have recently discovered their "healthy" snacks and can't stop eating them. Cookies that are like small bread rings, rolled in sesame and sunflower seeds, then baked and then half the ring dipped in dark chocolate. Oh my. So lovely with a cup of tea or hot chocolate.

Hello Stirly, thankfully I don't have a sweet tooth, except when I get a booze craving, but I can certainly pig out on the savoury stuff, crisps, nuts etc...

[satz123]

Hey Tabbs - just edited my post on our thread.
I sounded SOOOOOO bossy when I read it back.

Forgive me

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

No worries Mrs. Bossy Benji hahahaha

Tabbs I never had a sweet tooth till I quit the grog. Came out of no-where.
I wonder was Mario the same ?
Even today out at lunch I had to have dessert - the rest were drinking wine and no movement away from the table - so I amused myself with a huge cheesecake ...........

[stirly-girly]

Hiya KTAB - hey there Satzeroonie! Didn't sound bossy to me - just good advice said without frills.

Woke up to snow here in Stirly-World. :shocked: What country do I live in again?

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Well sugar and alcohol both release dopamine into the brain which I reckon probably explains that. We still crave that rewards and sugar gives it to us.

I saw it was 1 degree in Athens on the tv yesterday while we had a lovely balmy sunny 12 degrees this far north, lets have a big round of applause for the gulf stream.
