Wouldn't it be nice if calories didn't count? But since they do, turns out we can't all just eat what we want all the time if we want to live a healthy life. But since I'm decidedly in the "live to eat" camp, I know it's no fun to never indulge every once in awhile. But that doesn't have to mean that all rules go out the window. Here are a few tips on how to indulge the right way — don't worry, they don't take the fun out of it!

Yes! I totally believe that indulgences and "cheating" have a place in a healthy lifestyle. I write about this A LOT, and have a whole theory around it (I call it Wicked Healthy). Trying to achieve a "perfectly" healthy lifestyle is not only unattainable, it's no fun. And you won't stick with it. I think building in some wiggle room for indulgences means you're more likely to stay true for the long haul, and be healthier overall.
