<\/a>There is evidence that your autopilot who directs your internal body functions reacts to sweetness by instructing your body to store fat.\u00a0 There is also evidence that the more sweet things you eat, the more you want to eat.\u00a0So the better plan is to focus on whole, natural foods. Eat lots of vegetables with some fruit and make sure you have plenty of protein.\u00a0 Eat sweet things only sparingly.<\/p>\nWhen you do that, you may find your taste buds changing. They do renew themselves every 10 days, so you have a chance to change them.\u00a0 When you lay off the sugars, all food will be more tasty.\u00a0 Fruit, especially, will strike you as sweet and delicious.<\/p>\n
So why am I posting dessert recipes?\u00a0 Mainly because I bought lots of alternative sweeteners in order to write this just-completed series.\u00a0 I need to get some of it out of my cabinets!\u00a0 Seriously, I do want you to have good options. When you do have something sweet, make an informed decision and choose the sweetener that is best for you.<\/p>\n
Just be careful to make desserts an occasional treat, not a part of your everyday meal plan.<\/p>\n
Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/p>\n
