Confess it, you are enticed. And who wouldn't? The look of desserts is alluring enough, how much more if you taste them? But for some reasons, you restrain yourself from sinking your teeth into one soft, lush dark chocolate cake. You know that a bite of that lush, sinful slice wouldn't be enough and would destroy your hard work at the gym. And you ask, is there any way you can eat desserts without adding a pound or two on the scale?
No and yes.
There isn't a sure answer because what is effective for some may not be effective for others. Don't be confused if a pal can eat a whole cake for dessert and not worry about his or her weight, but you can't even finish a half of tart without feeling the effect on the weighing scale the next day. So for us who always need to check our weight but still lust for confections, let's just try to make desserts a little healthier for us.
To start with, eat a healthy meal before taking your dessert. It just wouldn't do if your main lunch and dessert are both unhealthy. At least make your meal as healthy as possible so you can reward yourself with a decadently fine sweet later.
If you are going to prepare your own dessert, then pile it up with healthy ingredients. Fill it with more organic items like fruits over less nutritious ones like sugar. If you are purchasing the dessert, look for those with more healthy ingredients. Likewise, look for tags with "low fat," "low calorie," "no fat," etc. It's like consuming sweets and deceiving calories at the same time.
Eat desserts in little portions. Those mini cakes you see in high-end bakeries and restaurants are just the right size. You don't need to supersize your dessert, an average portion will be adequate.
And finally, try to consume sinful desserts during special occasions only. Think of it like this, you are just making a dessert more special by eating them during special occasions. If you eat them everyday, as unlikely as this may sound, you might lose interest in them because they are not "off-limits" to you any longer. Eating the decadent sweets during special occasions doesn't mean going passing over desserts entirely every meal. Sweet desserts can be fruits in parfait or yogurt. Still has the goodness of a dessert without the guilt trip.
All great stories must have sweet endings, just like a complete meal. You may have the heartiest meal ever or you just have had the tasteless, but your experience will not be complete without desserts. - 24553
