If sweets are your dietary downfall, don’t worry – you don’t have to give up sweets entirely in order to achieve a healthy weight. As with many good things, including foods, moderation is the key to a healthy attitude and strong body. It’s the type of sweets you choose that is important. Consider a small portion of fresh fruit, and 1-2 ounces of good quality dark chocolate.
In addition, here are a few of Dr. Weil’s favorite recipes to satisfy a sweet tooth:
- Cashew Brittle
- Frosted Orange Ginger Fruit Salad
- Cocoa Banana Frozen Dessert
- Coconut Lemon Bars
- Ginger Almond Pears
- Lemon Ginger Sorbet
