So usually after my lunch, I like to have something sweet. Not big, but satisfying. Normally I'l have a 1/2 cup of granola or a serving of fruits(cherries,strawberries, or peaches). Now I'm not really sure if this is an acceptable habit so I just wanted to know what you guys think. Is it o.k to have a sweet after my lunch? is there anything healthier but sweet that I can eat? Or should I just put a halt to my sweet tooth? =/

By a sweet do you mean fruit? If so, yeah that's great.

yeah sometimes it's fruit, sometimes its granola. I've included a picture of the kind I like to eat. Is that fine or should i just stick to fruits?

you're good, but remember there is a higher carb count in the fruit and granola. also the granola will have a pretty high fat content like nuts. just check your ratios, esp in the fat shredder phase 1.

Will do. Thank you so muchh. I'm glad I found this forum. You guys have been tremendous help
