Efficient Weight Control While Eating Delicious Desserts
How many times per day do words such as "metabolism",
"control", "maintenance" or "calories" cross your mind? Of
course, many people try to control their diet with the sole
purpose of losing weight, but if you truly think about it,
weight control is a lot about health control. Women and men
alike cannot seem to be able to stop from counting
calories. You wake up and you start it. During breakfast,
you avoid fat milk or fat dairy products. At lunch, you
crave for a dessert, but there is a voice inside your head
telling you that desserts are terribly bad for weight
management. Dinnertime comes and you are still counting. If
we told you ways exist to enjoy desserts – more delicious
than what you have ever tasted before – and actually have
no issues with your weight control program, would you take
our word for it? The secret is in approaching desserts in
which the main ingredients are fruits. In addition, you
should try to avoid including sugar and fat milk or other
fat dairy ingredients.
The key is in the lightening of the recipes. In other
words, you have to find ways to trim excess fat and fat
ingredients, the same as you should trim ingredients that
contain sugar. For instance, you can successfully replace
butter in certain cake recipes with fat free sour cream.
Moreover, low fat yogurts, fruit juices and low fat milk
are ideal to replace the necessary quantities of oil,
sugar, margarine or cheese (for the last ingredient, you
have always the possibility of using reduced fat cheese).
Finally, you have to see just how much you can reduce fat
and calories without bringing irreparable "damages" to the
taste of the final product. If you already have at hand a
recipe, the thing is incredibly easy to achieve. Of course,
many of us choose to use their creativity in cooking
delicious desserts. You can include in your recipes all
sorts of fruits that can cross your mind. If you want to
make sure that you benefit from a dessert rich in vitamins,
try choosing for your ingredients intense-colored fruits.
Let us have a glimpse of some of the most delicious
alternatives available for having a delicious, low-calorie
dessert.
One easy to cook, sugar-free and fat-free dessert is an
original mix of blackberries and pears. For eight servings,
you can use four medium-sized pears, one cup of
blackberries, zero-calorie sweetener (we recommend the
powdered product, because you will need to use heat to cook
this dessert), and two lemons from which you should extract
the juice. Make sure you heat the oven at 270oF while you
are preparing the fruits. Next, you need to peel and cut
the pears in even slices. Then "bathe" them in the lemon
juice. Add them in eight bake cups; spread the blackberries
on the slices. Introduce them in the oven and keep them
there for 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle sweetener and you have
obtained a delicious dessert to serve warm.
If you have grown tired with eating the same low-fat yogurt
day after day, up to the point where you have started
feeling as if it had no taste at all, you can try a
low-calorie variation, in which you will include, of
course, vitamin-rich fruits. Berries are perfect to suit
yogurt in such a recipe. You do not need to bake the
dessert, because it is a parfait. You will come up with a
delicious, only 150 calories per serving parfait. You need
a quarter cup of low-fat yogurt, a quarter cup of berries
(your choice) and a quarter cup of low-fat granola. You
also need two parfait glasses. You take the ingredients and
distribute them evenly in layers in the two glasses. Enjoy!
You will obtain an even lower amount of calories with the
next recipe. It is a simple fruit salad with a touch of
low-fat yogurt. The serving will have less than 110
calories, and your body will benefit from the vitamins in
the fruits. You need two cups of strawberries (slices), two
cups of mango (dice it, it gives a pleasant aspect to the
yield), two dashes of cinnamon (ground), one cup of low-fat
yogurt, and four tablespoons of roasted almonds (slices).
From these quantities, you will obtain four servings. All
you need to do is stir the berries and the yogurt in a
bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon on the mix. Then add the sliced
almonds. You may opt for cutting down almonds, and then the
serving will include even lower calorie value.
You can opt for having a delicious finish to your meal with
an easy and fast to prepare orange mousse. Indeed, you do
have to keep away from the chocolate mousse of which you
may have been a fan. However, we will use oranges instead
of chocolate and the result will prove more than
satisfactory. For two servings, you will need four eggs,
half an orange and zero-calories sweetener. Separate the
yolk from the whites. You will only use the whites of the
eggs. Squeeze the juice from the half of orange. Beat the
egg whites until they are solid. Then add gradually the
orange juice and sweetener while slowly mixing the
composition. Place the composition evenly in two bowls and
then put it in the refrigerator.
In the end, you can make your own desserts as long as you
make sure you have kept a close eye on those fatty
ingredients. In addition, do not forget that
sugar-containing ingredients are also out of the picture.
Fruits are enough to provide you the necessary amounts of
sugars. In addition, for many recipes you will be using
no-calorie sweeteners in order to enhance the sweetness of
the yield. If you happen to go out – for instance, you
decide to have dinner at a restaurant – and you crave for
dessert, try choosing the fruity alternatives included in
the menu. In the end, you need to remember that the
desserts you are eating are as mouthwatering as what others
are serving. As a plus, they will provide your body with
the vitamins that keep it healthy.
