Happy Valentine's Day!
We don't want to be Killjoys here, but a day like today can really pull you down (from the perspective of a good diet). Don't let it. I mean, It's NOT like today is Thanksgiving or Christmas.
That being said, a day like today can be granted a few tantalizing indulgences, right? So, if you are trying to get into the Valentines spirit of things you might try sucking on - HARD CANDY - instead of some of those other delectable treats typically served up on this day of days. Compare:
Your average Jolly Rancher (the .25 cubic inch size) is 25 calories. According to Wiki Answers, it takes about 27 minutes to finish just 1 without biting or chewing it. Some of you are better suckers than others, but when it comes to hard candy, you are only taking in about 1-2 calories per minute. Not bad.
By way of contrast, your average Toll House sugar cookie (according to caloriecount.com) has about 130 calories - WITHOUT frosting. Those things are tiny. I don't know about you but I can LAY WASTE to several dozen of those stupid things in ONE sitting. Seriously, you give me 27 minutes and I (along with many of you) can pound down some serious caloric intake. Am I right? I'd hate to even do the math on how many calories per minute I'd be capable of going down on in this example.
