The more you deny yourself a forbidden food, the more tempting it becomes, and the higher is the chance of you going overboard and binge eating when you finally allow yourself to have it. The solution to that problem is to have the best of both worlds: eat healthy and nutritious versions of your favorite food! Here is an example of delicious and healthy pancakes–I call it protein pumpkin spice pancakes!
