Charlotte indulges in cheat meals. "I love ice cream, chocolate, cheeseburgers, and tacos, but I have developed a plan that I can enjoy food and not worry about it being labeled bad or not healthy," she told Food & Beverage. She counterbalances splurges by making healthy swaps, like eating a cheeseburger on a whole wheat bun and adding avocado. "There is always a way to make the food you love enjoyable, healthy, and a part of your dining routine if you commit to it," she said.
