Almost everyone loves eating deserts. I know I do! However the timing of the consuming the desert may hold the key to not adding additional pounds.
Did you notice that after a dinner or lunch when we feel full we are surprised by the desert we have totally forgotten about. Hard to turn down right? I know I always try to justify by saying I left some space for desert. In reality when I am busy eating my mains I don’t say to myself I am leaving space for the desert and thus eat less main meal. It never happens.
This means that I am consuming excessive calories which is a sure way to gain weight. A trick I use is to eat my deserts about 30 minutes before my main meal. This means it does not spoil my appetite for my main meal and I tend to eat less of the main meal as I am already partially full. Net result less calorie intake and sure to prevent the desert weight gain.
Happy deserting 🙂
