Low Fat Desserts
The meal is never complete without you being tempted by a succulent desert or thinking about one after you eat. If you are here in America, then you know that most of the desserts out there are unhealthy. They are loaded with fat, trans-fat, and sugar. This nation has become a nation of junk food junkies. The current obesity problem is a direct result of this.

In my opinion, when a group of people experience wealth, their diets change. I know that this is a simple, and even moronic statement, but hear me out. When a group of people have enough money that they have a choice of what they will eat, they will choose to go along with the more fatty foods. Think about it...those dreams of riches are always accompanied by really good food, isnt it? Our vision of really good food is usually fatty.
I think this is because we tend to store fat to keep us warm for the winter.
In our minds, if there is a bunch of food to choose from, then we will go towards the fatty foods. Like most animals, we prepare for the winter time. Like the polar bear, we know that it will be cold so we want a layer of fat to keep us warm.

Another way to look at is, we are greedy. All people are motivated by greed at some point. We want the best of everything.
We want a nice new car, new house and all the rich food that we can eat. In the past, a wealthy person always ate different foods than someone who is poor.

What to do?
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. Now, don't get fooled by this low fat stuff. It isn't worth the time. You will eat twice as much of it to satisfy your hunger. It's 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. 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 have. You don't have to stick with the boring fruit salad. You can come up with a lot 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 just delicious.

One of my favorite things is to blend up strawberries, blueberries, sweet red grapes, along with some pomegranate juice or something like that and gulp that down. Its especially good in the summer with ice so you can make yourself a fruit smoothie. I could drink that all day long. We have all seen those wand mixers advertised on television. Some people call these boat motors because thats what they look like. It is a hand held mixer/blender that you can use for a lot of things. I love these things. If you have one of these, it is easy to make a great low fat dessert.

Here is a simple dessert using your hand-held boat motor. Take skim milk. You need to make sure that it is ice cold. Take your milk and put it in a drinking glass. Use your boat motor to whip air into it. You will notice after awhile it kind of looks like whipped cream. Add some bananas and strawberries and a little pinch of sugar to make it sweet, or maybe some Splenda or something like that so as not to add unnecessary calories to it. This is very low fat and it tastes great. You get that desire for fat taken care of that you have been craving so much. The whipped milk really almost feels like whipped cream. You won't believe how much it really feels and tastes like the real thing.

You can also use this to add some flair to all kinds of things. You can use it to make low fat milkshakes. You can add your protein mix to this for a great meal with very little fat. You will be surprised at how many things you can do with this whipped topping. People will think that you have taken a long walk off a short plank 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. That's when you'll have to tell them to get their own.

You can also eat gelatin. Make sure that you get the unflavored kind. It will come in either envelopes or in sheets. There will be directions on the package to tell you how to make it. You can add fruit juice or you can add fresh fruit to your gelatin. If you have a boat motor, you can use it and add some of that whipped topping you make from the skim milk. You will love this. You can also eat some low fat cakes. Just because it is cake, doesn't mean that it is bad for you. Just make sure that there isn't a whole lot of eggs or dairy in it. Also sometimes people sneak in mayo in their cake batters. Make sure you know what is on the cake. Also jam or jelly is great instead of frosting.

I'm sure that you can come up with your own ideas as well. Just think of what you already like to eat and mix it up.
Please, stay away from the low fat stuff. All that will do is make you want more fat than you should be eating. In the long run, you aren't saving yourself any calories at all.
