Enjoying a delicious dessert
at the end of a great meal is one of life’s sweetest pleasures.
Moist vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream… warm pumpkin pie… crème brulée… carrot cake with cream cheese frosting… fresh brownies…
Or just imagine the smell of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies wafting from your kitchen…
Just thinking about these decadent creations makes your mouth water and few of us have the willpower to resist.
But we often feel guilty for indulging in sweet treats. After all, most desserts are filled with sugar, refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats, and they pack more calories than the meal itself!
For the longest time, there have been very few truly healthy dessert options. In fact, most so-called “healthy” desserts, which you might find in the store, are anything but.
hose labeled “low fat” are packed with sugar. And while the “low carb” options might have less sugar, they use chemical-laden, artificial sweeteners which taste awful… and are even WORSE for your health!
And for those of us who enjoy baking at home, the options were just as limited. There were simply no recipes or guidebooks for creating divinely delicious desserts with all-natural, low glycemic ingredients.But those days are gone…
You no longer have to choose between your health and the pleasure of decadent sweets!
Thanks to the latest in nutritional
science, it can be downright easy to create desserts that are so sinfully
moist, sweet and delicious… you’ll swear they’re bad for you.
But you can feel good about making and enjoying these sweet treats. Because not only do they come without the sugar, carbs and consequences you wish to avoid… but they have health benefits to boot!
And that’s not all…
You can also enjoy the toasty, fluffy and flaky goodness of breads… crackers… pizza crust… biscuits… bagels and more… without the carbs and health-harming effects of grains!
In just a moment, I’ll show you just how easy (and delicious!) it can be.

Science: Using “Metabolic Power Ingredients”
We began our mission by
collecting dozens of the most decadent dessert recipes we could find, including
all the favorites… from brownies
to pumpkin pie… carrot cake, custards and soufflés… ice cream… cookies,
macaroons and more!
The first step was to remove every ingredient from these recipes that was unnatural or refined, as well as anything that would spike your blood sugar or cause your body to store fat.
Then we substituted these items with proteins, healthy fats and fiber.
These “metabolic power ingredients” help to keep your blood sugar stable. They promote the feeling of fullness. And they even stoke your body’s fat-burning furnace!
And for the last several years, we have been firing up the ovens in our test kitchen, testing dozens of these all-natural ingredients in over 50 different dessert recipes.
We constantly tweaked the ingredients and proportions until we had replaced the sugar and flour in these classic desserts. We gave each one a total health makeover, while keeping all the moisture, taste and decadent sweetness!

Researchers
put 195 obese people between the ages of 20 to 65 on low-carbohydrate diets.
The diets were only different in one area: breakfast. One group received a
low-carb breakfast, while the other (lucky) group received a high-carbo,
protein-enriched one that included a choice of cookies, chocolate, cake or ice
cream for dessert.
The
average weight loss for both groups over a 16-week period was about the same,
around 33 pounds for the group that ate the low-carb breakfast and 30 pounds
for the group that ate dessert with breakfast. However, it was the dessert
crowd that proved more adept at keeping the weight off. After 32 weeks, the
low-carb group gained an average of 25 pounds back while the dessert-group
regained just 15.
So what’s at work here? Scientists say ghrelin, a hormone
produced in the stomach that’s responsible for telling the brain when the body
needs to be fed. Higher levels of ghrelin means a bigger appetite. Throughout
the study, ghrelin levels were measured in all of the participants. The dessert
group showed a ghrelin-level reduction of 45 percent while the low-carb/
dessert-less group was only able to reduce levels of the hormone by 25.5
percent. This suggests that the participants who ate a morning dessert were
fuller, their appetites more satisfied.
It’s Time to Put Dessert Back on the Menu – Guilt Free!
