Low Fat Desert
WeightLossPossible.com - Dedicated to help you Lose Weight !
 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.
