+880 Girls, it's okay if we have dessert every once in awhile. Eating one slice of cheesecake does not make you a "pig" or "fat." Trust me, dessert makes you happier. amirite?

If someone is trying to lose weight and they are doing so in a healthy fashion, there's no reason to encourage them to eat desserts when they could be eating something that's lower in calories and more nutritious.

actually, if you eat chocolate after a meal, it signals to your body that the meal is over, so dessert is good for you =] as long as its not too much

Wrong. The only food that has been consistenly shown to bypass your body's tightly-regulated appetite system is sugar--and sugar *increases* your appetite (which is why you always have room for dessert).

Right, but eating one dessert once a month will not push you over the edge. I've heard girls say, "I cannot have a cookie. I'll get fat." I'm thinking, really? ONE COOKIE? That doesn't make you fat.

I agree that a cookie or slice of cheesecake doesn't make you fat--a habit of unhealthy food consumption makes you fat. And let's face it, most dieters don't have a clue what they're doing.

Because most people just go on a diet. They should really talk to a dietician or a doctor to get a little help and make sure they are doing it right.

And completely cutting off sweets will only make you want to eat a lot more when you get the chance

Cutting off sweets never worked for me. I had to realize that, every once in awhile, something extra doesn't tip the scale.
