High sugar, high fat treats will make you fat. Fact. There is no getting away from the hideous truth that you can’t indulge on the best sweet treats when you’re trying to stay in shape and keep your weight down or even when maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Even though supermarkets advertise some of their products as ‘low fat,’ they can still be full of sugar and the ‘low carb’ options are often full of artificial sweeteners and preservatives. We all wish day after day, there was a way that brownies and desserts were good for you, but now there really is! Lean brownies, who would of thought it!?

What is a Low-Glycaemic Diet?
A low glycaemic diet is a diet that is based on the glycaemic index. The glycaemic index is a number associated with a particular type of food that indicates the food's effect on a person's blood sugar level. Foods that are high on the glycaemic index can often make us gain weight, such as grains which bakers often choose over flour. The glycaemic index was designed to help people with diabetes control their blood sugar levels. And what works to control blood sugar, should help you drop extra weight.
Metabolic Power Ingredients
“Metabolic power ingredients” help to keep your blood sugar stable. They promote the feeling of fullness, and when we feel full, we don’t want to continue eating, which means less calories consumed. Foods that boost your metabolism are things such as egg whites, lean meats, water, chili peppers, green tea and coffee. Not all of these things can be included in delicious dessert treats but the idea that certain ingredients can have an effect on the way our bodies digest and use the food we put in to it, gives us grounds to start creating amazing recipes for foods that taste great and burn fat.
“Staying on a healthy track does not mean sacrifice. It means getting smart about the ingredients you use.”
Sweet, Gluten-Free, and Slimming!
Sometimes it be near impossible to take a great sweet flavor and make a healthy alternative. However, natural sweeteners allow us to tickle our sweet tooth without putting all the bad stuff into our bodies. Natural sweeteners are made through a fermentation process of corn or sugar cane. They contain fewer calories than sweeteners like pure sugar and honey.
People often hear the word, fats, and freak out or believe that not one type of fat can pass their lips without then gaining a tonne of weight. But they would be wrong. The right fats can have great qualities such as fat burning and all round positive effects to your wellness. Fats are crucial for energy and keep your body warm. Fats also absorb important nutrients and produce hormones, too.
Grains score high on the glycemic index so when making Guilt Free Desserts, we stay away from grains all together which is why Guilt Free Desserts includes gluten free recipes, as well as for those with dietary issues.
The Difference Between the Good and the Bad
Most indulgent sweet treats contain high amounts of refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats and contain a bucket load of calories. Refined carbs avoid spikes in our blood sugar levels as they are absorbed slowly, and can strip away beneficial fibre. We can minimize a health risk to ourselves by eating fewer refined carbohydrates such as white bread and white rice. Unhealthy fats like whole milk, butter and lard, can also be found in many desserts. Unhealthy fats can make use more prone to heart disease and raise of cholesterol levels.
