According to "The Secrets of Skinny Chicks" author Karen Bridson, a great technique for staving off cravings is calculating how many calories you'd have to burn off exercising to see if that cookie is really worth it. "The amount of calories in two cookies will mean an extra 15 to 20 minutes of running," Bridson says, "That 45-minute spin class won't even burn the amount of caloreis you consumed on your all-out binge. Think of the sweets and extra helpings in terms of workout time, and it will put your efforts into perspective." Maybe that works for some people, but we'd still go for the cookie — we'll just take the longer route the bakery. Try our Calories Burned Calculator to find out how long you need to run, bike or walk to burn off your favorite treat.
