A member asked:

When is it okay to indulge in ice cream or a piece of cake?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Thomas Wright answered

Specializes in Phlebology

Occasionally: If your eating habits are healthy, allow yourself the occasional indulgence. Deprivation is not enjoyable. Since you speak of 'indulging, ' it seems you have the appropriate concern for a balanced, healthfu diet.
