Candy Sweets (1 Large Piece)

Pair sweets with a small portion of protein or healthy fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a handful of nuts, rather than eating them alone.

Choose a smaller serving, eat it slowly, and avoid going back for additional pieces; portion the candy into a bowl instead of eating from the package.

Have candy after a balanced meal containing non-starchy vegetables, protein, and fiber-rich foods rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do light activity soon after eating sweets, if this is safe for you.

Drink water or unsweetened tea instead of soda, juice, or other sweet drinks alongside the candy.

For future cravings, consider lower-sugar options such as berries with plain Greek yogurt, a small apple with peanut butter, or a few squares of dark chocolate with nuts.
