I Need to Lose Weight without Feeling Hungry

“I need to lose weight but I’m sick of feeling hungry all the time,” is a common statement made by individuals who follow fly-by-night diets. If your diet leaves your stomach rumbling every hour on the hour, it’s time to make a change. I used to think that losing weight meant starving. It took me a while to accept the fact that I could actually eat heartily and still drop weight.

The time I spent starving in the name of losing weight was miserable. When I did manage to shed a few pounds, I would gain it all back in a matter of weeks. Sometimes I’d even gain a few extra pounds. Talk about depressing!

What I learned through years of research (and trial and error) is that when you follow a healthy eating plan, you can chow down until you’re full, and still see amazing weight loss results.

Healthy Dessert... Is that even possible?

If you're anything like me (and thousands of other people), your whole
 life comes to a screeching halt at the mere mention of a chocolate cake,
 key lime pie or a chocolate chip cookie.

Yes, I love me a delicious dessert every now and again, but I know
that in order to maintain my 30 pound

 weight loss and continue to enjoy life in a healthy body, it's just not
 something I can do on a regular basis.
 (Bummer!)

So I've come up with a few strategies that help me curb my nasty
 sweet tooth when it rears its ugly

 head...baked apples with cinnamon in the oven, herbal tea
sweetened with stevia, or fruit salad with a

 little raw honey drizzled on top.

But sometimes these just don't cut it for some people. They're
looking for a yummy piece of cake or

 cookie or brownie. Is there any way to have that and still keep
 it healthy?

I decided to do a little research and figure out some good ways
 to bake and create some healthy and

 delicious desserts without all of the usual sugar and flour that
 goes into making most of them.

I was so excited to share these recipes with you today that I
 haven't gotten the chance to try them out

 myself yet (but now you know what I will be doing this
 weekend).

Give some of these a try and then be sure to email me so
 we can compare notes. I'm also going to

 ask my husband to give me his honest opinion on them
 (Poor guy, he will be sampling desserts all

 weekend, don't you feel bad for him?)

Please remember that even though these desserts are far better
 than most store bought or bakery treats,

 they should still be eaten in moderation. One piece or treat
1-2 times per week is enough to satisfy

 anybody's sweet craving and will not deter you from continuing to
 achieve your weight loss and

 health goals.

Ok, I'm off for now. Happy baking!

In health and happiness,
