Valentine's Day is a perfect time to enjoy a chocolate heart or a sweet treat. Many people deny themselves their favorite foods because of their fear of overdoing it and become so obsessed they end up bingeing on the forbidden food.

Practicing a healthy lifestyle enables you to enjoy sweet treats without the guilt.
