Desserts not Deserts

27 Sugar-free Recip Collection for Holidays Treat

Hello Everybody ,

If you are reading this book, you probably have the same sweet tooth I do. But we cant eat sweets all day and expect to stay in good shape.

Everybody knows that a lot of sugar is detrimental to us as individuals. Sugar contributes to more than 70 illnessesmany of them dangerous and some incurable. I will give you some examples:

• Leads to addiction: An extremely high blood sugar level causes the body to overcompensate and release a flood of enzymes that will clean up the sugar. Then the blood's sugar level gets too low and triggers a series of symptoms such as headaches, light-headedness, among others that normally means a need to ingest more sugar. This causes a vicious cycle of constant desire for sweet food. A portion of sweet leads to temporary relief, but after a while, the feeling of hunger and the need for sweet food become even more acute.
  
• Obesity: All the carbs that we get from sugary foods are not simply discarded; they are stored, as fat, everywhere in the body like criminal loot. This is the real source of obesity.
  
• Contributes to Teeth Cavities: During the interaction of sugar and bacteria in the mouth, an acid is formed, which destroys the layer of hard protection for the tooth.
  
• It contributes to the early appearance of wrinkles, as it changes the structure of collagen and reduces the elasticity of tissues.
  
• It leads to a malfunction of the immune system.
  
• Also, it violates the process of metabolism in the body which contributes to the development of diabetes.
  

Who knew sweet-sweet sugar could be so evil?

But you can always substitute sugar and all products where it is found with other healthier products and cook healthy, tasty, dietary desserts.

And this book will help you do that. Here you will find simple, proven and straightforward recipes for delicious desserts.

In each recipe, unless otherwise indicated, I use a sweetener. Everyone has a different sweetener and, nowadays, there are many replacements for sugar with zero calories. In addition, you may use honey, though the calorific value will increase.

These recipes use rice flour, though you can use something else, like oat flour or corn flour. All nuts and berries can also be substituted. You can add syrups of 0 kcal. And it is better to use diet (natural) cacao.

You should keep watching your dish when you bake in an oven because cooking time may differ with different ovens.

So, good luck cooking tasty dishes all day! Bon Appetit
