What's Your Kryptonite Food?

Do you have a food that almost always makes you week in the knees--the food that derails you from your healthy eating ways? I call these kryponite foods. I have three:

1. Cupcakes and cake. I never used to like cupcakes or cakey sorts of things as a child (I always had pie for my birthday, and I hated frosting so much that my mom would just make plain cupcakes when she did--no frosting or sprinkles for me). But now, as an adult, I love them. What's up?

A five-step plan for cupcake avoidance in times of weakness.

2. Apple fritter doughnuts. These are dangerous, especially the local Top Pot variety in my city.

3. Sweet potato gnocchi. What's so bad about that, you ask? Well, the kind I tend to love is smothered in brown-butter sage sauce. And I always eat too much!

Here are some yummy healthy snack alternatives to try!
