Many of us think that starting a weight loss diet means forsaking the fattening foods we love. No sweets, no cream sauces, no chips, no wine, no fun!
But this kind of weight loss plan can actually lead to more cravings, fixating on forbidden foods, and goals abandoned long before their time.
The truth is that you can have your weight loss and eat cake, too as long as you “cheat” on your diet the sensible way.
Anyone can follow a restrictive diet for a short time. But sooner or later, most people will break down and overindulge on the foods they’ve been denying themselves.
So why not come up with a sensible diet, so your chances of success are much greater in the long run?
For this reason, I created this recipe for you.
This dessert will not derail your diet, and it is the ultimate way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
