Sweet Tooth Solutions
On Valentine’s Day it seems that cupid has it out for me and the sweet tooth cravings insist to be fulfilled. What’s an urban girl to do?!
Dieting and healthy eating doesn’t mean you have to skip out on desserts, it simply means you have to opt for healthy alternatives. I know, I know…an apple is nothing compared to a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake with warm fudge.
Here are some healthy alternatives for curbing those cravings:
You can enjoy your favorite desserts but that doesn’t mean you can eat the entire tub of Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food. Two words. Portion. Control. Make your Valentine’s Day even more romantic and share a dessert, satisfy your sweet tooth cravings with your sweetie.
Choose low-fat or low-sugar alternatives to your favorite desserts.
Try fresh or dry fruits to curb your cravings. If you are a real choco-holic like me drizzle some chocolate over your favorite fruit. This works great with bananas.
