You should eat what fit people eat, yet, you should not stop yourself to intake desserts all the time.

According to Lara Rondinelli-Hamilton, an expert diabetes coach at DuPage Medical Center in Chicago, having a diabetes shouldn’t  be a reason to stop enjoying good desserts like the Chinese dessert or western dessert. You just have to plan how to keep your blood sugar normal while you satiate your sweet tooth. Here are 5 ways to do that:

Swap other carbs for dessert

Stated by the American Diabetes Association cookbook author, Rondinelli-Hamilton, everyone does focus on sugar intake, yet what really matters is the total carbohydrates.

“If you’d plan to have a small piece of the pie for the dessert, then skip the starchy vegetable during the dinner,” she stated.

However, she quickly points that this should not be on a regular basis, sweets have the nutritional value that cannot be found in other foods. Therefore, you better save some of them for special events or occasions.

Think small

Limiting how often you consume dessert must be paired by limiting how much you intake or eat, which is quite a big challenge.

According to Jessica Bennett, RD (a dietitian at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville),  that sugar prepares explosives in your brain, that will make you crave for more. In fact, fighting  with such desire requires a lot of patience and effort. Yet, there are possible to make it lighter or easier.

Be realistic! Hamilton stated that you should set yourself up for triumph by buying sweets that are packaged as a single serving, like a mini square of dark chocolate, or a sugar-free fudge pop.

If you can’t control not eating the whole of the cake, it is best not to purchase it. Next, you should find miniature desserts in a restaurant menu (some offer shot glasses or sweets in smaller dishes). If, the one mentioned are not applicable, you better order some dessert for the table, in that way everyone can take a bite, says Hamilton.

Do it yourself

Unless the nutritional value of the desserts in the menu is written, you are not sure of what are the stuffs your body get from it. However, if you do or prepare it yourself, you will know exactly what goes into your body, same as what are those left out.

Instead of following some recipes accordingly, you can replace some items, like artificial sweetener for sugar and applesauce for oil. When it comes to home baked desserts, having a portion control is very important. So, place your sweets in small dishes paired with small spoons. Some of the healthy desserts or toppings that will go great on your dessert are barley, almonds, red beans and peanuts. Make sure to try them out!

Fruity treats

As much as possible, make fruits part of your menu, whether a recipe or the dessert itself. Even though, the  fruits have carbohydrate content, they are packed with minerals, vitamins and fiber. If ever you are craving for more than what is needed, try to add some sugar free gelatin to the some easy and quick fruit salads.

Melon Salad

Combine 3 cups of cubed honeydew and same measure with cubed cantaloupe in a small bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of mint leaves chopped.

Health is wealth. So, guard your sugar level and eat responsively.
