Sometimes You Just Want a Twinkie

Posted by Debbie on Oct 10, 2008 | 25 Comments

Unless you’re blessed with Angelina Jolie’s fast metabolism and perfect genes, breastfeeding alone won’t get you back your pre-baby physique. You’ll still need to eat responsibly and exercise.

But after 9 months of giving into your cravings, eating healthy can seem boring. Sometimes you might just want a Twinkie or some other naughty treat. If you find the right substitute for your favorite fatty foods, you’ll be able to treat yourself without derailing your diet.

Recently, I received a free sample of Weight Watchers new Golden Sponge Cakes with Creamy Filling. These 80 calorie treats taste surprisingly like a real Twinkie. In fact, I actually prefer these to real Twinkies because they don’t taste as greasy but still have the light airy cake and creamy filling.  

Just a warning: the serving size is fairly small. If you have a sweet tooth, you might be left craving more. But if you have the discipline to eat just one, this is a great way to have the “yum” without the guilt.

Want to try these? We have three coupons for free Weight Watchers snacks to giveaway.

    I enjoy your honest reviews. I crave a little something sweet every evening and I often endulge, but try to keep the portion at less than 120 calories since it is so close to bed time.

    I love sweets and this would be a little healthier alternative than the full fat version!
