How to Eat Sweets Without Gaining Weight







If you have a sweet tooth then you know all too well that giving up your favorite treat(s) is a cruel punishment that you'd like very much to avoid. But why give up sweet foods when you don't have to? You can still be healthy, strong and lean if you eat sweets occasionally and within moderation. These healthy tips will allow you to enjoy all of your favorite cookies, brownies and cakes guilt-free. You no longer have to sit on the sidelines watching while everyone else enjoys dessert at weddings, birthday parties and dinner engagements. These tips will allow you to manage your weight, and even lose weight, while still enjoying the decadent snacks that you crave.

Sweet Tip 1

Workout before indulging in your favorite snacks, treats and desserts. If you're planning on attending a summer wedding where you know cake will be served, plan for this indulgence ahead of time. Try going out for a 45-minute run the morning of your event. Exercise will make you more confident and help you to feel better about what you eat.

Sweet Tip 2

Minimize the damage by sharing your favorite dessert with a friend. When dining out at restaurants, order a slice of cheesecake, pie or cake that the entire table can nibble on and share. This will allow you to eat your favorite dessert without going overboard with calories.
Sweet Tip 3

Scrape off the extra icing from your cake, cupcakes or brownies. Most of the icing is mere decoration anyway and only adds extra calories to your treat.

Sweet Tip 4 

Prepare the sweets yourself. When you bake your favorite candies at-home, you can control the ingredients that go into each batch. Substitute whole eggs for eggs whites (when possible), use less sugar and stick with all-natural ingredients and substitutes for a healthier alternative. You can eat sweets without gaining a ton of weight if you moderate the ingredients.


Sweet Tip 5

Eat sweets in moderation. Only buy individual-size portions. Avoid keeping bulk containers of ice cream in your refrigerator when trying to lose weight. When a craving hits, take your entire family out for ice cream instead of having it at home. Take the family on a walk as you enjoy your favorite single-portion treats.

Why is nutrition such an issue now a days?

If I eat three health meals a day why should I even think of using supplements? This seems logical. Eat well and you will get everything you need from your diet and will stay healthy.  Sadly it is no longer correct. For our parents that may have worked, but things have changed. Once upon a time vegetables were grown in your garden and animals grew up in fields. I say “once upon a time” but it is only 40 or 50 years ago that this was basically true. Now we find that vegetables are grown in depleted and often contaminated soils. They are nurtured with chemicals to get best production but the trace elements that are so important to our long term health are not in the soils to begin with and son the plants cannot put them into the vegetables and fruit that we buy.
