Yes, you can have your cake and eat it too! You can lose weight and still eat cookies and fudge, but not all sweets are equal.

You may have seen articles that recommend that weight lifters drink chocolate milk immediately after their workout, but drinking hormones, cholesterol, animal fat, and animal sugar (lactose) is a terrible idea.
