Despite the fact that the type and amount of sweets are not strictly regulated, it is worth following a reasonable approach: eat only one serving of sweets at one meal and choose those that are less high in calories. So, a piece of cake with butter cream is better to prefer a fruit pie, instead of nut baklava, eat meringue or marshmallow, and replace chocolates with several slices of dark chocolate without fillers.
