How to satisfy a sweet tooth while in season?

To quote Don Kardong:

"Avoid any diet that discourages the use of hot fudge."

"Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos"

"If you run 100 miles a week, you can eat anything you want - Why? Because (a) you'll burn all the calories you consume, (b) you deserve it, and (c) you'll be injured soon and back on a restricted diet anyway."

That's hot garbage. Eat healthy foods, everyone knows this is an ingredient to success. Wanna shave that extra 90 seconds off a marathon time and make the team? Don't eat ice cream. It doesn't mean skimp on calories, just eat healthy food. Sweets? Eat dates, a banana, fruits are good for blood sugar. If you must have a sweet fit, go with a spoonful of honey. Ice cream is for the off-season.

Lara Bars. Basically dates, but better.

I’m partial to the Apple Pie, Cashew Cookie, Cinammon Roll, Cookie Dough, Coconut Cream Pie, and Almond Butter Chocolate Chip flavors.

Sugar is sugar. Doesn't matter if you get it from candy, ice cream, soda or fruit. The whole idea that fruit doesn't raise your blood sugar as much as other forms of sugar is a myth.

Right. I think the idea is that the benefits of eating most fruits outweigh the negative impacts. Not so for processed foods, ice cream, candy, soda, etc.

Everyone knows the best way to prove yourself right is through the use of anecdotal evidence. Great points, sir.

If you really like cookies and you avoid it all together forever then you will eventually end up eating 20 of them in one sitting. Then you will feel guilty about it and start trying stupid things. That's how eating disorder begins. Eat everything you like in moderation. Don't exclude any particular category of foods.

Also, eating healthy is for your health, not (only) for running faster.

All I know is that Americans were healthy 40+ years ago despite eating less fruits and vegetables and we had more Americans going sub 2:11 for the marathon back when American runners just ate instead of eating like a chick trying to loose weight for her wedding.

This isnt healthy but in order of healthiest to least:

1) certain fruit made fruit snacks

2) certain gummy bear/gummy worms

3) tropical swedish fish (fat free)

That said consider melon and berry mixed fruit. Also pineapple really cures that urge for me.

Also, one thing to ponder at is the following mix per one 16.9oz water bottle:

- 1 packet of Super Orange flavored Emergen-C

- 1 packet of Kiwi Strawberry Crystal Light (w/ caffeine)

This is SUPER good and not all that bad when we total everything up. Freeze it for popsicles too.

Why are you making stuff up? I’m not trying to be condescending, but the gist of your post is simply not true. There were way less processed foods available 40+ years ago. The typical American diet was MUCH healthier back then and people actually ate more veggies. We do eat slightly more fruits now, but not by much. The only major changes are the huge amounts of sugar, fats, and grains that we now consume. So, not like a chick trying to lose weight for a wedding. At all. C’mon, man.

Frozen yogurt, especially if it you can get it with low sugar.

Go to the grocery store and get some dark chocolate (70% or more cocoa) bars that are 3.5 oz and are divided in eight pieces. Eat one piece every nice for desert, and limit yourself to that.

Eating the stupid cookie. You are plenty lean, run a ton, and are still young - your body needs nourishment, even if that comes in the form of "bad" foods. Restricting food is a surefire way to end up injured, burnt out, and not running for a long time.

Galen Rupp likes grape soda.

Than Kenyans love sugar in their tea. Steve Jones ate mars bars. And David Bedford drank a few pints at the pub.
