Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth and Still Lose Weight!

Weight loss doesn’t have to come without a little dessert. In fact, some of the most potent weapons in the fight against weight gain can satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time. You can add the following good–for–you foods to your menu to boost your overall health while you slim your waistline:
  • Berries. These sweet treats are among nature’s richest sources of antioxidants and phytonutrients, including vitamin C and potassium. They may lower your risk of heart disease and cancer — and even inhibit inflammation in your body. While all berries offer these healthy benefits, the richest sources of these potent nutrients are the darkest colored berries, like blueberries, acai, and pomegranates.
  • Yogurt. This calcium–rich treat does more than boost your bone strength — the probiotics fortify your immune and digestive systems and may even inhibit yeast infections and improve your cholesterol levels (they’ll lower your bad levels and boost your good cholesterol). Skip the ultra–sweetened (or artificially sweetened) versions and opt for Greek–style yogurt sweetened with a little stevia or your favorite Capella flavor.
  • Dark chocolate. Chocoholics have reason to rejoice — dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants that can help lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease. Don’t bother with the cheap stuff, which is loaded with sugar and fillers. Treat yourself to really good chocolate, with the purest ingredients, minimal sugar, and at least 60 percent cocoa. Xocxai is the brand we carry, and the good news is, you can have up to 3 Power Squares while on the lower calorie protocol.
