Here’s a rule of thumb to keep in mind about eating desserts on the FMD:
If the dessert falls into the correct food categories for your phase-appropriate snack, you can eat that dessert for one of your snacks. However, if you want dessert and you’ve already eaten your three meals and two snacks for the day, or it is a special treat (holiday, etc.), you can have the dessert as long as you add an additional day of phase-appropriate exercise. For example – an additional day of cardio during Phase 1, a second day of weight training during Phase 2, or a second day of stress-reduction exercise during Phase 3.
