Low Fat Dessert

No meal is over unless there is a dessert involved. If you are here in America, you know that most 0f the desserts out there are bad f0r you. They are loaded with salt, sugar and 0r fat. We have become a nation 0f junk food addicts. I do have a theory 0n this.

dessert.jpgI think that when a group 0f 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 0f people have enough money that they have a choice 0f what they will eat, they will choose t0 go along with the more fatty foods. I think this is because we tend t0 store fat t0 keep us warm f0r the winter. In our minds if there is a bunch 0f food t0 choose from, then we will go towards the fatty foods. Like most animals, we prepare f0r the winter time. We know that it will be cold so we want a layer 0f fat t0 keep us warm.

Another aspect 0f it is, we are greedy. All people are greedy. We want the best 0f 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 t0 do?
You want that little bit 0f joy at the end 0f the meal, but you don’t want t0 become a lard ass. Well, you can have your cake and eat it too. We will discuss some 0f the more healthy desserts that you can eat. First I want t0 say, don’t get fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn’t worth the time. You will eat twice as much 0f it t0 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 0f it. That maybe true, but only if you don’t want t0 loose weight.

Fresh fruit is always a good dessert. 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 t0 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 t0 stick with the ho hum fruit salad. You can choose a ton 0f different ways t0 eat fresh fruit. You can bake apples f0r example wrapped in tin foil with a little bit 0f brown sugar. This is wonderful.

One 0f my favorite things is bananas sliced in orange juice. The sweet tangy flavor 0f the orange juice is really different compared t0 the banana. I could eat a truck load 0f this stuff. It is also a great pick me up if you are feeling sluggish. We have all seen those wand mixers advertised 0n television. Some people call these boat motors. It is a hand held mixer/blender that you can use f0r a lot 0f things. I love these things. If you have one 0f these, it is easy t0 make a great low fat dessert.
Here is a simple dessert using your boat motor. Take skim milk. You need t0 make sure that it is ice cold f0r this. Take your milk and put it in a drinking glass. Use your boat motor t0 whip air into it. You will notice after awhile it kind 0f looks like whipped cream. Add some bananas and strawberries and a little pinch 0f sugar t0 make it sweet. This is very low fat and it tastes great. You get that desire f0r fat taken care 0f 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 t0 add some zing t0 all kinds 0f things. You can use it t0 make your low fat milkshakes. You can add your protein mix t0 this f0r 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 0f your rocker when they think you are eating a big serving 0f whipped cream. Before you know it, all your buddies at the gym will want you t0 make them something t0 eat with your boat motor. That is when you will have t0 tell them t0 get their own.
You can also eat gelatin. Make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It will come in either envelopes 0r in sheets. There will be directions 0n the package t0 tell you how t0 make it. You can add fruit juice 0r you can add fresh fruit t0 your gelatin. If you have a boat motor, you can use it and add some 0f 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 f0r you. Just make sure that there isn’t a whole lot 0f eggs 0r dairy involved. Also sometimes people sneak in mayo in their cake batters. Make sure you know what is 0n the cake. Also jam 0r jelly is great instead 0f frosting.

I’m sure that you can come up with your own ideas as well. Just think 0f what you already like t0 eat and put a spin 0n it.
Please, stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you crave more 0f that than you should be eating. In the long run, you aren’t saving any calories.
