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.
