Donuts - How to Resist the Temptation

Donuts, also spelled doughnuts, are usually fried in fat, full of sugar and calories. However, these treats are inexpensive, and are to be found all over the place.

I don't like donuts, and I hate having donuts shoved in my face everywhere. I realize that this is a poor topic, and that lots of people who eat donuts are healthy people without weight problems, heart conditions, or diabetes. However, for me, donuts are something to eat when I am down on my luck, a poor food choice eaten by poor people that I really am not fond of.

I dislike the filled donuts, I despite the sugar-frosted cream-filled donuts, I detest the jelly donuts, and I really do not like donuts at all. In fact, I don't even like the aroma of donuts. It's just that once in a while a donut looks to be so tempting, and a little bit of fat content in anyone's diet isn't bad, the only problem is overdoing it.

My mouth puckers at the taste of a donut, I develop a frog in my throat from the taste of donuts. I'd have to be flat broke and starving before I'd eat one of those donuts. Donuts are not a part of a health-conscious diet, if you will note the use of the plural form of the word. A donut once in a while is not something to be aversive to, although, the average donut does contain about 300 calories. Just imagine a bunch of poor people eating donuts. That visualization itself should be enough to give a person an aversion to donuts.

Excuse me, I just do not happen to like donuts. They are full of carbs, sugar, and oils, empty calories that make donuts to be a less than fulfilling food product. Honestly, I sometimes find myself succumbing to the temptation to consume a donut, or a few donut holes, however, that is as far as I am willing to go.

If you have ever looked in the back of most donut shops, you will find that the trash receptacle is full of unsold donuts at most of these shops. Donuts are generally a poor choice for food. If I was truly a rich, smart, resourceful individual, I would be scrambling for ideas of ways to avoid being forced to eat donuts ever again.

Donuts (or doughnuts) are everywhere. Perhaps it is my dislike of the donut that brings me into donut shops more frequently than I would like to be there.

So, donuts are everywhere, donuts are fluffy, donuts are soft, donuts are sweet, donuts are cheap, donuts are readily available. If you are working outdoors in the elements, and need a lot of calories every two hours, and happen to be allergic to energy drinks, I guess that donuts might be for you. Consuming one donut every two or three hours, for 900 calories of food during an eight hour work shift, is about 50% of a person's necessary calories.

I guess that if you aren't eating much other than a few cups of coffee, a salad, a multi-vitamin, and one meal, getting through the day on a few donuts isn't that bad, although, spending the extra dollar or two for the energy drink might be better for you and your job performance in the long run.
