Are you with me on the kick-sugar, going sugar-free, low carb intake campaign? How are you doing with it? Several people have written comments, how they’re doing with it. But I’d love for you to join-the sweet with no sugar lifestyle, and tell us how better it makes you feel.<\/p>\n
Here’s a tip for those of us who love sweet desserts, but don’t want the calories. I for one have always had a little “dolce” after meals; especially after dinner. I often think to myself that I can just skip the sweet stuff, but later in the evening I begin to crave it.<\/p>\n
Try having some sweet things in the house standing by for those “sweet-tooth” times, such as canned fruit with no added sugar, or syrup. Discover pear-halves in white grape juice, or pineapple slices canned or bottled in their own juice. Dried fruits, such as apricots, raisins, apples slices, etc. are great. There’s a trend in coffee shops and some fast-food chains to offer dried fruits in little packages, and that’s fantastic. I’m delighted there are more and more sugar-free options becoming available, without an artificial sweeteners or chemical additives.<\/p>\n
Another really great dessert I’ve enjoyed recently, and you might, too, is unsweetened applesauce mixed with a non-sweetened pear half, or dried fruit. Non-fat Greek yogurt with a touch of honey and raisins is also really delicious, and may possibly satisfy the ice-cream urge, if you have one of those.<\/p>\n
Any ideas? Let us know about what you do for a sweet, but guilt-free, sugar-free desert.<\/p>\n
