How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Pies, Cakes & Desserts
Healthy Tips for Pies: It's the crusty difference that can make the lusty difference on your weight scales. Crust contains about 100 calories per serving. If it's a double crust, make that 200 calories. And no - you can't pass go and collect 200 dollars. BUT you can pass go and collect 2 pounds or more.
Some of the pies to steer clear of OR at least limit severely include: pecan pie (I know, it's my favorite, too!), raisin pie, cheesecake (there is a reason it has cheese in its name...), mince pie and moon pie. A restaurant version of pecan pie can cost 800 calories or more per slice. Sad, isn't it. Here's some tissues as we prod forward to the Land of Cakes.
Healthy Tips for Cakes - Frosting OR as we-southerners say, Icing, is what breaks the back of Cake Calories. That nice wedge of cake will contain less calories than that tiny amount of frosting. Yes, another thing to be sad about, isn't it?
To save calories, fat and weight gain - try dusting the top of your next homemade cake with powdered sugar. In addition, purchasing pre-made cakes that include the calorie amount is another great tip for assisting you in keeping your calories in check. Yes, you can have your Diet Cake and eat it too!
Healthy Tips for Desserts - Substituting any of the following for oil, lard, shortening, butter or margarine will help you save fat and calories: dried fruit, mashed-up fresh fruit, light sour cream, applesauce.
For homemade desserts, substitute Splenda for sugar OR use 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda.
Substitute the light versions of foods for the full blown to save fat and calories. Rather than using whole milk, try skim. We cannot recommend fat free versions, however, because there is something lost in transition - something called flavor. There is a reason the no-fat foods contain so few calories IOHO.
