But sugar is bad for your figure?!
Yes, if you abuse it. But in moderate doses it is useful and even necessary. By denying yourself sugar, you deprive your body of glucose and fructose - the breakdown products of sugar.
But they are vital:
- glucose is the main source of energy for cells, fuel for the work of muscles, the brain, and all other organs and systems of our body;
- fructose promotes faster recovery after physical exertion, reduces inflammation in the oral cavity and reduces the likelihood of cavities.
It is important to understand that when we talk about the benefits of sugar for the body, we do not mean the white refined product, but natural sugars that are found in dairy products, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and nuts.
These are the healthy ingredients in our delicious and low-calorie healthy weight loss dessert recipes. And to make them a little sweeter, you can add a sweetener.
So, what? Do you already want to treat yourself to something tasty? Then choose any recipe that you like. But first, we want to warn you against a mistake that is especially common among those on a diet.
Don't buy low-fat cottage cheese!
Healthy lifestyle desserts with cottage cheese are popular, and there is nothing surprising about it. After all, this dairy product is an ideal component of proper and healthy nutrition. But when buying it, choose 2% or 5% cottage cheese, but refuse low-fat.
Firstly, its energy value is much lower. Secondly, the elements necessary for the human body are removed from it - fat-soluble vitamins, zinc, fluorine, folic acid. Thirdly, the low-fat product simply becomes tasteless, and unscrupulous so manufacturers add synthetic flavor enhancers.
