Don't Resist Temptation

Resistance is futile. It's hard to say no to the chocolaty-gooey-goodness of the Milky Way Bar that calls out to you in the night. To those salty-crispy-crunchy Herr's kettle-cooked potato chips. Or even to that rubbery-tomatoey Digiorno frozen pizza wedged in the back of the freezer. What's more, your favorite snacks don't just tempt you at night. Cravings can't tell time: they can hit you 24/7.

So, what's a Brentwood Dieter to do with a cupboard full of taboo edibles? Dump 'em or donate 'em. Yes, that's harsh. And if you have non-dieters around, it may be out of the question. But, exiling your favorite foods helps keep you on the straight-and-narrow path of the Brentwood Diet. Which in turn, helps you to reach your goal weight and manage your health. Your friends, family and local food bank make good candidates for your giveaway.

Next time you forage for a midnight snack, you'll open the fridge to find a crisper full of red bell peppers, Persian cucumbers and celery sticks. Bet you'll have the willpower to turn down those crunchy-juicy-healthy treats.
