Food swaps!
Feel like a naughty treat but worried about your thighs?
* Swap chocolate cake for a bran muffin. A bran muffin is a better choice because it is higher in fibre, which is good for digestive and cardiovascular health. Oat muffins are also lower in energy, sugar and saturated fat.
* Swap a milkshake with a fruit smoothie. Milkshakes are normally made with whole milk, lots of sugary syrup and ice cream, which makes them high in sugar, fat and energy. Make your own smoothie of fruit, ice and yoghurt for a lower fat, sugar and energy alternative.
* Substitute a McD’s or Burger King burger with a homemade burger. Not only are homemade burgers much nicer but they also more nutritious. Make them out of homemade lean beef patties, wholegrain burger buns, lettuce, tomato, carrot and low fat mayo. Your homemade burgers will be much lower in energy, salt and fat, and higher in fibre.

That's great advice and I generally do those things, especially the fruit smoothie for my breakfast.
However there is nothing that will compensate for chocolate when those cravings are strong!!
