Avoid Sugary Desserts
Most deserts don’t provide much nutritional value. They are mostly loaded with sugar, which causes blood sugar spikes that can render you tired and hungry – a trap to make you crave more sugar.
Deserts such as pies, cakes, ice cream and doughnuts account for over 18% of the intake of added sugar in the American diet. As a substitute to these deserts, here are some alternatives that will satisfy your sweetheart tooth:
- Fresh fruit
- Backed fruit with cream
- Greek yogurt with cinnamon or fruit
- Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
