That's my experience as well. I started to eat Ruessell Stover candies (in the little red packages, 2 to 1 package) and at first it was one pack every other day but b4 I knew I was eating 1 pack 3 times a day (after every meal). So I decided I better stop and I've been "clean" 1 week and it's actually much easier than I thought. If I want dessert or a treat I have to make it myself from whole foods = I know what's in it!
