Sweets That Are Not Quite So Unhealthy

Lots of people have a tendency to make it sound like it takes no effort at all to eat healthy, but if you have a serious sweet tooth, it can be a whole lot more difficult for you to keep cravings from bringing down your diet. While it is certainly true that a level of “will power” will be the determining factor in how well you are able to stick with your diet, it can also help when you know certain foods to eat that are both healthy and beneficial; if you have a sweet tooth, one of the things that will particularly help you is knowing some “sweets” that are really not that unhealthy.

Dark chocolate: As is the case with any food at all, too much dark chocolate is not good for you, but when you eat dark chocolate in moderation, not only is it “not bad” for you, but it actually is an antioxidant, which means that it will help your body to chase away disease.

Honey: While those dreadful sugar crashes that make you feel excessively tired tend to be a part of eating most sweets, honey not only avoids the sugar crash, but it also gives you natural energy; using honey as a sweetener is a great way for you to get some extra energy from your food while also boosting the taste.

Fruit: It can be difficult on you when you first start to substitute fruit into your dessert slot, but once you get used to having fruit after dinner, you will begin to find that this is actually a great way to get something sweet while also staying healthy; when you are first getting used to this, try adding a little bit of sugar to your fruit, then quickly wean yourself down to fruit alone!

Regardless of what you do to help yourself, “eating healthy” will be a chore if you have a major sweet tooth – but when you try adding these things to your eating habits, things will become a little bit easier!
