Dessert tends to get a bad rap if you’re talking about healthy diets. It often sparks conversations about sugary delicacies, pies, ice cream, decadent cakes, and any other tasty dessert you can think of. Perhaps it’s the very addicting nature of these desserts that causes them to be talked about so often, but nevertheless, they don’t represent all desserts. In fact, there are many desserts one can eat if they’re trying to stay healthy on a diet—and here’s one of them.
Fruit
If you’re on a diet and trying to get something sweet without loading up on added sugar, fruit is the perfect answer. True, there are sugars present in fruit. But first of all, they’re natural sugars, and second of all, the quantity of it doesn’t even come close to most alternatives.
It’s also easier to control yourself when it comes to fruit. White sugar has a certain addicting quality to it, where you find yourself constantly craving another piece of cake even though you know you shouldn’t have one. When it comes to fruit, it’s a lot easier to stifle that desire. Your body won’t necessarily crave another apple or orange, because fruits are generally more filling and less addicting than common desserts.
