[quote=Anonymous] Instead of holding back the treats, I would institute daily treats---in very small portions. A treat to me is a single piece of real Belgian chocolate, or a half coffee mug full of frozen yoghurt, ambrosia,...things that may 1) get them so accustomed to having something sweet that the novelty is gone, and 2) broadens their idea of what a treat might be. You, of course, would plan meals to balance out the calories. What about the fruit-based sparkling sodas at World Market? What about the fun of eating a pomegranate together? (We did this as kids.) Making popsicles? Air pop popcorn? I'm sure there are a lot of websites dedicated to nutritious treats. I say the answer is more, not less. [/quote]
