As my success has grown over the years I have found myself eating in nicer restaurants, and they have equally nicer dessert menus. This is the tough part, and in my opinion partly to blame for our obesity problem we as a nation face. How do you get through a dinner and not reward yourself with a nice fattening dessert loaded with Sugar, Salt and or fat?
We all have a couple of options available to us as our dinner comes to an end and it's time to order dessert.
We could have been proactive throughout the day so that we could skip counting calories at dinner, maybe an extra 10 minutes on the treadmill and a lighter lunch than usual, that would earn us special treat, and we can hope to call the day even.
We could skip dessert, but that would ruin my article and what fun is a social dinner without dessert?
We could eat our meal without a thought for our calorie counting and pop a couple of Proactol diet pills at the end, sure it would work, but we like to stress diet pills should be used to get you started, what about dessert six months from now, when you have stopped taking the diet pills and you are just trying to keep the weight off?
Astonishing one-third of the average American's diet is junk food, and the other two-thirds doesn't cut it nutritionally, according to a recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Let's choose to eat dessert in Moderation
So now we need to pick an item to feast upon. Watch out for the "low fat" hype people tend to think they can eat twice as much because its low fat and although that may be true, you won't lose weight that way. Keep your servings small, if your at a really fancy restaurant you won't have a choice in this. A fresh fruit salad or sorbet will keep the fat low, but for me to feel mentally satisfied from dessert it must have some fat, or it's just not dessert, so I opt for the apple pie a la mode and pop a couple of diet pills. Nobodies perfect!
