Proper nutrition is not strict prohibitions and restrictions, but the ability to replace harmful foods with healthy ones. If you are following a diet plan, this does not mean that you need to give up sweets and desserts, you just need to make a choice in favor of lower-calorie ingredients in your recipes. Of course, you will have to give up desserts made from yeast dough, cakes with a lot of cream, and deep-fried sweets, but this will help maintain your health and figure.
Very often in the morning you want to eat something sweet, for this case I have prepared another selection of dietary desserts that are appropriate for weight loss and proper nutrition. Recipes without added sugar and white flour. Such desserts can easily be included in the daily norm of KBJU. Of course, we should not forget that everything is good in moderation and, if the desserts are boring, this does not mean that they can be eaten in unlimited quantities.

What sweets can you eat when losing weight at home?
Broad Bone is always against “proper nutrition of the brain,” so we will answer you - any. You can eat whatever you want and no one has the right to crucify you for it!
Even and especially if you want to lose weight. After all, it’s not what’s important, but how much you eat ( What’s more important: food quality or calories? ).
Healthy eating is not cucumber and dry chicken breast. This is a system that you can stick to for a long time and with pleasure! Try and discover delicious and healthy dishes.
Don’t read a lot of advice about the “only true healthy” diet. It's different for everyone!
By absorbing low-quality information, you create unnecessary and tight boundaries for yourself and throw this idea of “losing weight/eating right” into the far corner after just a week.
Healthy eating is not a diet; it shouldn’t make you feel stuck within certain limits. Eat as fresh as possible, drink water, exercise, smile and everything will be fine.
It is, of course, possible to say “desserts or sweets for weight loss” purely technically, but basically this is marketing.
No food makes you burn more or less calories ( myths about “boosted” metabolism ) - this is physiologically absolutely impossible!
The usefulness of food depends only on its quality and freshness. All food consists of the same macro- and microelements - carbohydrates from a dessert are NOT better than from a Snickers !
There are vitamins in both steamed oatmeal and the burger.
You also get proteins, fats and carbohydrates, a set of some vitamins and minerals, another thing is that such food, as a rule, has a much higher calorie content.
Although remember that conventionally recognized healthy food for weight loss will be dangerous - Myths that make you never lose weight: 16 photos with visual comparisons of calorie content of foods
Moreover, your weight loss also does not depend on specific foods : it depends on how much you consume over a certain period of time (4/7 days).
Memorize it as a mantra: “food is a friend . This is not a way of protection from the outside world, not a means of destruction and not a replacement for relationships. It's a fun way to make your day even better and give your body quality fuel to accomplish great things!
Food should be tasty, and not a vile substance that you barely cram into yourself “because it’s healthy.” Look for the little treats in every meal. The pleasant aroma of coffee is not a reason to forget about restrictions?

Is it true that sweets are bad for your figure?
It is believed that sweets are harmful to the figure, and sugar is almost a real poison. How many films have already been made and articles written about the dangers of sugar. However, it would be completely wrong to blame sugar alone for extra pounds. After all, we gain weight not from sweets, but solely from a calorie surplus. Roughly speaking, when we overeat.
Sugar really doesn't do any good for the body. After all, it contains only empty calories. However, calling it poison is a clear exaggeration. In small quantities, sugar will not cause much harm to the body of a healthy person.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults and children reduce their intake of free sugars to less than 10% of their total energy intake.
So a small amount of sweets can be left in the diet . And even while losing weight! After all, the more you forbid yourself, the more likely you will want to break loose and pounce on delicious food.
Especially for those with a sweet tooth, I have prepared a selection of recipes with photos - these desserts can be prepared at home . I use a sweetener in them, but only to reduce the calorie content of the dishes. If you are more accustomed to using sugar, then you can add it, just keep in mind that the sugar in this case will change slightly.

How to make dessert less calorie
If you are trying to lose weight, you will be interested in learning how to make any dessert less high in calories and what delicacies you should give preference to while following a diet.
- Sugar is the enemy of people trying to lose weight and those who suffer from diabetes. Fortunately, there are many safer substitutes. The leader among them is stevia, the energy value of which tends to zero. A sweetener such as “Fit Parade” has also proven itself well. You need to know that fructose is comparable in calorie content to sugar and is not indicated for people with diabetes. However, using fruit puree instead of sugar is a very good idea, as it is healthy. For the same reason, dietary desserts are often sweetened with honey.
- Most often, sweet baked goods are made using a large number of eggs. Some people mistakenly believe that this product is calorie-free. In fact, yolks contain quite a lot of fat, so they should be used in minimal quantities.
- Condensed milk, cream, butter, margarine and other fatty and sweet products are not the best choice for making dessert if you are on a diet. It is better to give preference to low-fat sour cream or yogurt, kefir, and low-fat cottage cheese.
- Sweets such as pudding or soufflé are often dietary, which initially have a liquid and low-fat base, which is thickened with agar-agar or gelatin.
- Dark chocolate is not contraindicated for those on a diet if consumed in moderation. It can also be included in dietary desserts.
- Fruits and berries are the main ingredients for obtaining a tasty, but healthy and not too high-calorie treat.
Keeping these facts in mind, you can choose a dessert recipe that is not high in calories. This will help you make the right choice not only at home, but also at a party or in a restaurant.
Below you will find recipes for cakes, puddings and other desserts that are simple and quick to prepare, but at the same time so tasty and appetizing that they can decorate a holiday table.

Candy for diet
It’s harmful to even think about sweets during a diet. A happy exception to the rule is dried fruit candy. Grind through a meat grinder 200 g of dried apricots and pitted dates, 150 g of dried melon and 100 g of raisins. Assorted dried cranberries will add an interesting sourness. Beat ripe persimmons into a puree, combine with dried fruits, and make balls the size of a walnut. Brown 150 g of hazelnuts in a dry frying pan, crush them into crumbs, roll over the candies and leave in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Of course, you shouldn’t eat the entire supply in one sitting - limit yourself to a couple of candies. Moreover, nothing will happen to them in a month.
We hope our diet treats will help you survive the separation from your favorite cakes, buns and chocolates during your diet. Find other recipes for low-calorie desserts with photos on the “Eat at Home” website. And don't forget to share your own ideas for healthy sweets.
