Dieting can sometimes be a pain. If you are a big foodie and like to indulge in a small cheat snack over the weekend, you are stuck in a dilemma. However, an unplanned cheat meal can trigger a cheat day or even, an entire cheat weekend. This can be scary

or a nice snack. Here are three options that can help you with some damage control. But still, try staying away from over 

indulging.
