Making Sinful Desserts Healthier

By Amelia Richardson

Confess it, you are lured. And who wouldn’t? The look of desserts is seductive enough, how much more if you taste them? But for some reasons, you hold yourself from sinking your teeth into one soft, succulent dark chocolate cake. You know that a bite of that rich, decadent slice wouldn’t be adequate and would break your hard work at the gym. And you wonder, is there any way you can eat sweets without adding a pound or two on the scale?

No and yes.

The answer is vague because there’s no definite answer. What is effective for some wouldn’t work for the others. If there are those who can eat a full slice of fruit tart without worrying the flab on his/her thighs, there are those who aren’t so fortunate. But for those who adore dessert so much, that is not adequate. So to give us dessert lovers a little peace of mind, since we just can’t keep away from them as much as we would wish to, let’s try to make desserts a little healthier for us.

To start with, have a healthy meal. If you are anticipating a sinfully sweet dessert later on, start with something healthy to cut your guilt. If you are going to have a calorific dessert, then cut down the calories on your meal.

If you are going to make your own dessert, then pile it up with healthy ingredients. Fill it with more healthy items like fruits over less nutritious ones like sugar. If you are buying the dessert, look for those with more healthy ingredients. Also, look for marks with “low fat,” “low calorie,” “no fat,” etc. It’s like consuming sweets and cheating calories at the same time.

Have your dessert in little sizes. Have you seen those chic desserts served at restaurants and bakeries? They are like the Mini-Me’s of a full cake but they are actually less than a regular piece. They look great, though, and still very appetizing. Try to eat yours in those petite sizes. They still taste the same, but you are just consuming an average slice.

And lastly, try to eat decadent desserts during special functions only. Think of it this way, you are just making a dessert more special by consuming them during special occasions. If you eat them daily, as unbelievable as this may seem, you might lose interest in them because they are not “off-limits” to you any longer. Eating the decadent sweets during special occasions doesn’t mean going passing over desserts totally every meal. Sweet desserts can be fruits in parfait or yogurt. Still has the goodness of a dessert without the guilty conscience.

Just like a good tome, a meal isn’t complete without a sweet conclusion. You may have just had the fullest meal in your life or the not-so-special dinner, but a meal isn’t complete without desserts.
