If you want to lose weight your in the right
place.
 No
meal is over unless there is a desert involved. If you are here
in America, you know that most of the deserts out there are bad
for you. They are loaded with salt, sugar and or fat. We have
become a nation of junk food addicts. I do have a theory on this.
I think that when a group of people experience wealth, their
diets change. I know that this is simple and even a moron can
come up with something like this, but hear me out. When a group
of people have enough money that they have a choice of what they
will eat, they will choose to go along with the more fatty foods.
I think this is because we tend to store fat to keep us warm for
the winter.
In our minds if there is a bunch of food to
choose from, then we will go towards the fatty foods. Like most
animals, we prepare for the winter time. We know that it will be
cold so we want a layer of fat to keep us warm. Another
aspect of it is, we are greedy. All people are greedy. We want
the best of everything. We want a nice new car, new
house and all the rich food that we can eat. In the past, a
wealthy person ate different foods than someone who is poor.
What to do? You want that little bit of joy at the end of
the meal, but you don't want to become a lard ass. Well, you can
have your cake and eat it too. We will discuss some of the more
healthy deserts that you can eat. First I want to say, don't get
fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn't worth the time. You will
eat twice as much of it to fill your cravings. It is because it
is missing something, the fat. The one thing that you are craving
the most. In the end you aren't really doing yourself any favors.
You are falling in the trap that all fat people fall into. They
think since it is low fat, they can eat twice as much of it. That
maybe true, but only if you don't want to loose weight.
Fresh
fruit is always a good desert. You can prepare it easily and it
tastes great. Nothing tastes better than fresh fruit
that is in season. Make sure that it is perfectly ripe and ready
to eat. If it is ripe, it will be sweet and juicy. If you eat
fruit that isn't ripe it will be hard and not have all the flavor
that it can yield. You don't have to stick with the ho hum fruit
salad. You can choose a ton of different ways to eat fresh fruit.
You can bake apples for example wrapped in tin foil with a little
bit of brown sugar. This is wonderful.
One of my favorite
things is bananas sliced in orange juice. The sweet tangy flavor
of the orange juice is really different compared to the banana. I
could eat a truck load of this stuff. It is also a great pick me
up if you are feeling sluggish. We have all seen those wand
mixers advertised on television. Some people call these boat
motors. It is a hand held mixer/blender that you can use for a
lot of things. I love these things. If you have one of these, it
is easy to make a great low fat desert.
Here is a simple
desert using your boat motor. Take skim milk. You need to make
sure that it is ice cold for this. Take your milk and put it in a
drinking glass. Use your boat motor to whip air into it. You will
notice after awhile it kind of looks like whipped cream. Add some
bananas and strawberries and a little pinch of sugar to make it
sweet. This is very low fat and it tastes great. You get that
desire for fat taken care of that you have been craving so much.
The whipped milk really almost feels like whipped cream. You
won't believe how much it feels like the real thing.
You
can also use this to add some zing to all kinds of things. You
can use it to make your low fat milkshakes. You can add your
protein mix to this for a great meal with very little fat. You
will be surprised at how many things you can do with this whipped
topping. People will think that you have fallen off of your
rocker when they think you are eating a big serving of whipped
cream. Before you know it, all your buddies at the gym will want
you to make them something to eat with your boat motor. That is
when you will have to tell them to get their own.
You can
also eat gelatin. Make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It
will come in either envelopes or in sheets. There will be
directions on the package to tell you how to make it. You can add
fruit juice or you can add fresh fruit to your gelatin. If you
have a boat motor, you can use it and add some of that whipped
topping you make from the skim milk. You will love this. You can
also eat some low fat cakes. Just because it is cake, doesn't
mean that it is bad for you. Just make sure that there isn't a
whole lot of eggs or dairy involved. Also sometimes people sneak
in mayo in their cake batters. Make sure you know what is on the
cake. Also jam or jelly is great instead of frosting.
I'm
sure that you can come up with your own ideas as well. Just think
of what you already like to eat and put a spin on it. Please,
stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you
crave more of that than you should be eating. In the long run,
you aren't saving any calories.
