Staying Skinny and Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth: Healthy Dessert Recipes

One of the most common complaints that “dieters” have is that they can no longer enjoy the foods they love so much; however, you can satisfy your sweet tooth by making healthy dessert recipes with a few simple changes. The biggest change that you will need to make in order to truly start seeing the body you’ve always dreamed of is to be willing to reprogram what your mind defines as treats.

If you view “health food” as gross or unappetizing, no matter how good it tastes, your mind will still repel the good stuff. The trick is to develop new and improved healthy recipes from your favorite standby’s to give yourself the sweet fix you need without the white sugar and unnecessary fat.

How to Make Your Favorite Desserts Diet Solution Friendly

What if you could have your strawberry shortcake, brownies, and chocolate cookies guilt free? Sometimes all you need is to re-work some of your favorite recipes to get the body you want while enjoying the food you eat. Here are a few ideas to get your cupboards ready for baking to burn fat.

1. Toss out that blue canister of table salt and buy Celtic Sea Salt
2. Ditch the regular white flour for coconut flour
3. Replace your vegetable oil and shortening with organic virgin coconut oil
4. Dump out the white refined sugar you have and invest in Stevia Blend for baking

For the Best Diet Plan, Learn More about Coconut Oil and Celtic Sea Salt

These are all amazing ways to create yummy desserts without all of the bad ingredients that they are so notorious for. In case you may not be familiar with coconut baking products, let’s discuss the benefits of coconut oil.

Coconut oil can withstand very high temperatures much like a vegetable oil but without the byproducts. It is creamy and also a huge proponent in any fat burning diet. It has been known to actually increase metabolism and help with shedding unwanted fat. Can you believe that just by substituting coconut oil for margarine or shortening can result in a brownie or cookie that may actually help you shed unwanted fat? Now that’s a sweet story.

Also, Celtic Sea Salt has the exact opposite effect on the body as regular table salt does. Refined salt contains none of the valuable minerals and elements that your body needs to keep the balance of alkaline and sodium in the body. Also, refined salt is full of anti-caking agents which has aluminum in it. Aluminum has been linked to kidney problems and elevated blood pressure.

However sea salt has the correct form of sodium chloride that is actually beneficial to the body. It has trace elements that the body can use (ninety of them to be exact!) and has been known to reduce blood pressure in those who used it for that purpose.

Here are a few recipes to try your hand at:

How about some healthy food ideas for daughters first birthday?

We are a healthy bunch, and my daughter only eats fruit, veges, dairy, eggs, pulses and meat (normally organic) and only drinks water or boob.

You could do yogurt with fun toppings. Especially encouraging kids to eat the pro-biotics now with the flu peaking.
