Eat Dessert

and still be healthy. Yes this really is true..
The key to including dessert is to enjoy that sweat treat without loading the calories. Be sensible and watch portion sizes.
Try some of these desserts istead of "regular" type after meal or bedtime treat:
low fat cookie
frozen 100% juice bar
fresh fruit
frozen grapes
nondairy frozen dessert
low fat sorbet

If you are making the dessert try some of these substitutes:
egg whites instead of eggs
apple sauce prune puree instead of oil
less sugar
fruit-based desserts

I will have to admit that I have not tried any of these substitutes except the fruit, which I tend to choose many times.
