Excellent question...I've often wondered the same thing! I too can tolerate sweets (sometimes too well!), and I guess I'd like to hear that they just wash away!!! But I know that's just wishful thinking! I'll pay for it in the end...

Excercise!!!! Just what you wanted to hear right! :) But seriously, sweets are very high in sugars, which are broken down into ATP through respiration to make energy for the body. If the energy is used (i.e. excercise) it will be burnt off, otherwise it will turn into fat to be stored. However small amounts shouldn't be too much of a problem, as your body uses many calories for everyday tasks such as breathing, walking and talking, but if you go over your recommended calorie intake, then excercise!!!!!! :) I use a gym that has programs on the machines, you enter your weight and height and have your heart monitored throughout, and the machine tells you based on these and your pace etc. how many calories you are burning. If I ate something I shouldn't I won't get off the machine until I've burned all the excess calories and then some! Good Luck!

Sorry to say, but sweets will go for you now where they went before, right back to the stomach, hips and thighs. They are still high in fat, calories, sugar ect. and will hinder the weight loss you could be having without them.
