The Dessert Angel | Have Your Cake and Lose Weight Too!
My taste buds even more so. But I was a bit disappointed after my first bite. I’d rate them a 6/10. Edible. Tempered my cravings for a little while. But didn’t fully satisfy the sweet treat urge. Eight days later, I decided to give it another try. This time, with a few little tweaks. After I Took A Bite Of My Tweaked Healthy Cookie Recipe, A Smile Instantly Appeared On My Face! And I was extra happy because I’d found my go-to treat that would satisfy my cravings without sabotaging my diet! These cookies also served as handy snacks I took when running wedding errands and didn’t want to stop for something that was sure to sabotage my fat loss goals.
Unless you’re prepared to punish yourself for the rest of your life. I know I’m not. And now, you don’t have to either. The only way to actually stick to any diet long-term is to be able to SATISFY your cravings WITHOUT SABOTAGING your diet.
A few of our guests commented, “You look great, you must’ve been really strict with your diet!” I’d just smile and say, “Thanks!” Now, before we go any further, let me say something VERY important… If You’ve Ever Beat Yourself Up For Falling Off A Deprivation Diet, STOP Because IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT! Who wouldn’t fall off a diet that included NONE of the foods they loved? Here’s the thing… Diet’s that deprive you of the foods you love are designed to FAIL.
In fact, I looked forward to these healthy cookies as much as I would a muffin from the coffee shop! Actually even more so because I knew they were helping me lose fat .
At the end of 3 months, the group that ate desserts 4 days per week: Lost more weight Lowered their systolic blood pressure more (the top number) Had a lower fasting insulin level (the lower your fasting insulin, the more fat your body BURNS) Had better levels of a hormone called leptin, which suppresses appetite and is involved in fat burning NOTE: Just so you can be sure I’m not just making this up, here’s a link to the study to read for yourself.
Because then your diet won’t actually feel like a diet at all! But don’t just take my word for it… Recent Scientific Study PROVES That Eating Desserts Regularly Helps You Lose Weight: In the study, the researchers split 29 girls up into 2 groups: Group A ate a dessert of their choice once a week while Group B ate desserts 4 days/week.
To make a long story short, these healthy cookies “saved the day” and helped me look great in my dress.
