Low Fat Desert
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.
