I have read that the reason we are to stay with the 75 calorie guideline for sweet treats is b/c of the GI distress that can occur with more than 75 calories. If we don't mind taking our chances with the GI discomfort, can we have more than 75 calories? Pretty Please?

If you find that you can successfully and gradually continue to lose weight (or maintain your goal weight, if you're there) while adding more sweets, you can.

Thank you for this answer. I suppose I will just have to experiment, but I fear I may be a slug myself............

Another question--what does CL mean?
