As long as your diet is built mainly around plants and whole foods, and you maintain an appropriate energy balance to maintain a healthy weight and body composition, you should be fine. It's the common factor in every healthy diet. If you enjoy a sweet treat on special occasions or social gatherings, just enjoy it. Being good 90% of the time allows you to indulge 10% of the time. A sufficiently good diet combined with regular strength and endurance training will be the most powerful levers at your disposal to drastically improve your health and quality of life.
