Do I have to Control Portions of "Free" Foods?
Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

The fact is you can gain weight by eating too much of anything (Yes, even fruit!). Too many calories in and too few out, and you'll gain weight ... no matter what form the calories came in.

Watch out for fat-free snacks; they're not calorie-free, you know. So size up those servings and pay attention to portions even when you're "being good"!
