When dieting or losing weight: love a dessert once a day, instead of constant snacking
Who wants to lose weight, usually gets into the cravings trap. Anyone who has enjoyed eating sweets before will get abstinence after a day at the latest. Therefore nutrition experts advise to rethink. Instead of thinking about it all the time and nibbling it again, it's better to simply eat a dessert and then give it up. Why is that better, explains nutrition expert Silke Schwartau of the consumer center Hamburg.

Harmful health caused by too much sweets

Instead of snacking several times a day, it is better to have a sweet dessert after lunch. This is usually healthier, because you already have something in the stomach, the sugar is not as quickly absorbed by the blood as in the "sober" state, so the expert of the consumer center Hamburg on. Of course, an ideal dessert still contains only small amounts of sugar.
