If you are here in America, you know that no meal is over unless there is a dessert involved. Usually they are loaded with salt, sugar and  fat and they are bad for you.  I do have a theory how we have become a nation of junk food addicts on this. I know that this is simple and even a moron can come up with idea like this, but hear me out. When a group of people experience wealth, their diets change. Since they have a more choices of what they will eat, they will choose to go along with the more fatty foods. By nature we tend to store fat to keep us warm for the winter and your subconscious if there is a bunch of food to choose from, then we will go towards the fatty foods.

Animals prepare for the winter time, so do we too. We want a layer of fat to keep us warm in cold days to come. Another aspect of it is, we are greedy. We people are greedy and it's obvious that we want the best of everything: a nice new car, new house and all the rich food that we can eat.

In the past, a wealthy person ate different foods than someone who is poor.

So, What to do? How cut on our daily calories?

You want that little bit of joy at the end of the meal, but you don't want to become a lard ass. Well, you can have your cake and eat it too. We will discuss some of the more healthy desserts that you can eat. First I want to say, don't get fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn't worth the time. You will eat twice as much of it to fill your cravings. It is because it is missing something, the fat. The one thing that you are craving the most. In the end you aren't really doing yourself any favors. You are falling in the trap that all fat people fall into. They think since it is low fat, they can eat twice as much of it. That maybe true, but only if you don't want to loose weight.

Fresh fruit is always a good dessert. You can prepare it easily and it tastes great. Nothing tastes better than fresh fruit that is in season. Make sure that it is perfectly ripe and ready to eat. If it is ripe, it will be sweet and juicy. If you eat fruit that isn't ripe it will be hard and not have all the flavor that it can yield. You don't have to stick with the ho hum fruit salad. You can choose a ton of different ways to eat fresh fruit. You can bake apples for example wrapped in tin foil with a little bit of brown sugar. This is wonderful. One of my favorite things is bananas sliced in orange juice. The sweet tangy flavor of the orange juice is really different compared to the banana. I could eat a truck load of this stuff. It is also a great pick me up if you are feeling sluggish.

I love those wand mixers, we have all seen advertised on television and called boat motors. You know, a hand held mixer/blender that you can use for a lot of things. Have one of these? It is easier to prepare a great low fat dessert. 

Let's see some of ideas of low fat dessert: 

• Take ice cold skim milk and put it in a drinking glass. Whip air into it using your boat motor. After awhile you will notice that it looks like kind a whipped cream. With addition of some bananas and strawberries and sweeten with a little pinch of sugar  you'll get great test very low fat shake. You won't believe how much it feels like the real thing as the whipped milk almost feels like whipped cream.
• You will be surprised at how many things you can do with this whipped topping. If you like to be creative you can also use this to add some zing to all kinds of things. You can use it to make your low fat milkshakes, add protein mix to it and a great meal with low fat content.
• People will think that you have fallen off of your rocker when they think you are eating a big serving of whipped cream. Before you know it, all your buddies at the gym will want you to make them something to eat with your boat motor. Than you can to tell them to get their own.
• Love eating gelatin? - just make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It will come in either envelopes or in sheets. The instructions on the package  tell you how to make it.  Add fruit juice or fresh fruit to your gelatin if you like. Have a boat motor? Use it . Add some of that whipped topping you make with the skim milk. You will love this.
• Do you love cakes - try some low fat ones. Just because it is cake, doesn't mean that it is bad for you. Make sure you know what is on the cake.  Make sure that there isn't a whole lot of eggs or dairy involved. Sometimes people sneak in mayo in their cake batters.
•  Instead of frosting you can have jam or jellies. Just think of what you already like to eat and put a spin on it. I'm sure that you can come up with your own ideas as well.

And once again, Please, stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you crave more of that than you should be eating. In the long run, you aren't saving any calories.
