PS: Healthy grains actually taste quite good, although I do enjoy a nice crusty baguette once in a while.
Who's saying not to eat desserts or fresh baked bread? Would you live off those? I assume not.

Also, despite what may be common belief, portion sizes haven't increased in the last 20 years, they have decreased. Dietary fat has decreased as well. And also during the last 20 years, Exercise has increased. But people are getting fatter. Wonder why?

All I am saying is, eat properly and you can enjoy some junk once in a while. The difference is knowing what is actually junk and what isn't. We all know ice cream and pizza are bad for you. And "healthy" ice cream and "healthy" pizza are usually even worse, because they take out the good (the fat), leave in the bad (the sugar/starch) and add more bad (more sugar/starch to replace the fat).

By knowing how your body handles insulin spikes, you can determine how often and when you can get away with eating junk. Lowering overall calories by way of fat isn't going to do a damn thing for you, in terms of health or physique.
