I was going to get into that too, but... well, I didn't. LOL!
I'd be lying if I said that I still follow the diet so religiously and never allow myself "cheat" foods. I know what I can get away with, and I even have a pretty severe case of IBS. Dairy just kills me, so I don't eat it. EVER. Chocolate, on the other hand... *ahem*. Ditto for red meat, and the occasional soda or glass of wine. HOWEVER - these foods are not part of my regular diet, and like Panda, I don't keep them in the house, because I know that if I did, I'd eat them all the time and I'd end up right back where I started.
It really is all about balance - staying healthy, but allowing yourself enough "goodies" to be happy. Just remember that they're "treats" and not something to be eaten with wild abandon. I know that eating "whatever I want" isn't going to work.
