Cookies & Dieting
A cookie certainly isn't going to destroy your diet.
On the other hand, a tough, untasty cookie lump is going to leave you totally unsatisfied which may mean trotting back to the cookie jar and grabbing not one, but a handful of good-tasting cookies. See, we just saved over 300 calories in this one little sentence!

Fruit also helps fill up that empty spot in your tummy so you'll be feeling content while your co-worker hits the vending machine for that cupcake at mid-morning break.
