As a Certified Nutrition Specialist, I like to find ways to prepare delicious foods that most people can’t believe are actually healthy for you. If you have a sweet tooth like me, I’m sure you’ve tried to find ways to still enjoy sweet treats, but also try to make them healthier than typical junk food desserts.

The major problem with most so-called “healthy” desserts is that most companies attempt to make them healthier by reducing the fat content and thereby increasing the sugar content or artificial sweeteners… there’s nothing healthy about either of those!

Below is my famous healthy chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe that takes only 5 minutes to make and is really simple. The great thing is that I use no added sugars, no artificial sweeteners, and all healthy fat sources. You’ll see why below.

My healthy chocolate-peanut-butter fudge recipe (peanut butter can be omitted if you prefer plain chocolate):

  • Extra dark chocolate bar (3-4 oz bar works well — look for at least 70% cocoa content, between 70-85% — this minimizes the sugar content)
  • 4 or 5 Tbsp of your favorite organic nut butter (almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter all work well)
  • 2/3 to 3/4 cup of organic coconut milk (great source of healthy saturated fats from medium chain triglycerides – MCTs)
  • 2 tbsp rice bran (additional healthy fiber source)
  • 2 tbsp oat bran (more healthy fiber including soluble fiber)
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans, almonds, or walnuts (yes, more healthy fats, antioxidants, and tons of vitamins/minerals)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional based on your tastes)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a little stevia to lightly sweeten (stevia is a natural non-caloric sweetener as opposed to harmful artificial sweeteners)

Start with the coconut milk, nut butter, and chocolate bar in a medium saucepan and put it on the lowest heat possible. Continuously stir as the chocolate, coconut milk, and nut butter melts together. Once these melt together add in all of the other ingredients and stir together very well.

Once everything is mixed well together, spread the mixture onto some waxed paper laid out in a baking dish and throw it in the fridge to solidify.

Now you have some of the healthiest chocolate fudge ever known to man!

Keep in mind that you still need to keep your serving portions small because this is still a calorie-dense snack even though it is super-healthy. The good news is that it is lower in sugar and calories than typical fudge and has loads more nutrition than any typical fudge.

Do you eat too quickly?

Some signs are:

Do you finish your meals in 10 to 15 mins
Eat a sandwich while working, not leaving your desk
Feel unsatisfied after you have finished eating
Dont remember what you ate

If you are eating too quickly, chances are that your body is not getting the signal that you are full. You are eating more than you require. Another disadvantage of eating in this way is that you will not enjoy your food.

Exercise:
Change the location of where you are eating. If you are eating at your desk, stay in the office, but eat with a colleague or in another location. This will help you relax, and as your desk is the anchor for work, you will be able to break the pattern for working…and create a new anchor for eating healthily.

Do you comfort eat?
Perhaps you know that you eat for comfort, but may not know the trigger, here are some ideas below. Take a moment to notice if any of these apply. If you are eating with any of these patterns regularly (2 or more times a week), you may be comfort eating.

Some signs of comfort eating:
You are bored at home and eat something that you shouldnt be eating
Eating late at night in front of the TV
Eat ice cream or chocolate when youre feeling down
Getting up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom…stopping at the kitchen before going back to bed.
Does your shopping trolley have more junk food in it than vegetables?
Do you eat when you are not hungry?
Eating after youve had a fight with a friend or loved one
Eating something fattening to celebrate your weight loss

Time now to ask yourself:
What is the emotional issue that I am not dealing with here?
What are my triggers for eating in this way?
Is there something in my life that I am not being honest about?

As you begin facing the cause of your comfort eating, you will notice the trigger. The first step is awareness. From here, you can have a choice; once you heal the underlying issues, the comfort eating will stop. You will create healthy habits as well.

Some other unhealthy habits that may contribute to excess weight:

Do you?
Eat take out more than twice a week
Eat packaged meals frequently
Too busy to buy groceries
Eat the same food day after day
Not bothered about cooking because its just you at home
Eat dinner late and sleep soon after
Eat at unstructured times

You may not be comfort eating, but if you have weight issues, your habits may need some adjustment. We need healthy, fresh foods. Raw vegetables, fruits, and a varied diet are essential for good health. If you have two or more of the above habits, you need to make some changes. Start slowly. Pick the one habit that would be easiest to adjust and start there. Perhaps you can start by cooking one simple meal a week. Enjoy this. It is an investment in yourself, one you will benefit from for years to come.

Do you want to Fast Weight Lose? With these diet tips you can easily say goodbye to 10 pounds of unwanted fat. Keep your taste buds happy with fresh and healthy fruit, vegetables good tasting food including snacks.

You can get away without making sacrifices! To lose your first 10 pounds follow these simple guidelines, when your weight loss program has come to halt you can use this for your last 10 pounds as well. This balanced and flexible plan can be used for as long as you want.

1. Everything that you eat and drink should be documented. Estimating calories is an option for you but is not required. What you had and approximate quantity needs to be written down. Planning healthy meals and snacks will make you more aware of what you are eating.

2. Pure and added fats should become half of your normal intake. On your bread, toast, muffins and even potatoes you should be using half as much butter or spread; on your salad you should be using half the usual amount of mayonnaise or sauce; and in the frying pan use half the oil.

3. At the most you should be limiting your sugar intake with treats to 3 times a week or less. This includes chocolate, ice cream, desserts, cake, pastries, cookies, etc.

4. Use a lower fat source of protein at most meals: chicken, fish, beans, cottage cheese, or low fat yogurt. Have eggs, nuts and red meat occasionally but not every day.

5. Try to go without meat and cheese for lunch and dinner at least once every week. Whole grains, vegetables and beans is what’s required to build your meals around to increase fiber and reduce fat.

6. Fat content in your milk products needs to be reduced. If you are currently drinking whole milk, reduce to 2% fat. From 2% reduce to 1%. Choose lower fat cheese and yogurt. Buy yogurt that does not contain sugar.

7. Two servings of fruit every day should the very least you should have. This can be for dessert or snacks. Choose fruit that is in season.

8. Drink water instead of sodas, juices, milky drinks or alcohol. Avoid diet soda – the sweet taste only encourages you to crave sugar. Hot water with a slice of lemon can be very refreshing in the morning.

9. Two servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner are required every day. Have more if you find yourself getting hungry..

10. It is recommended to eat slowly. The body is slow to register when you are full and it is easy to eat too much if you are racing through your meals.

11. Grated carrot makes a great snack. This is strange but very true you will find that a grated carrot is much more filling than a whole carrot.

12. Use whole grains wherever possible. The fiber will give you a fuller feeling and help with your digestion.

13. Choose food that you can chew. Again this will increase your fiber intake, satisfaction comes with chewing more and it will make you feel fuller. This means eat fruit instead of drinking juice. If you like soups than make sure it is chunky to continue getting into slow chewing habits.

14. Meals and snacks need to be planned ahead of time. Plan and stick to your shopping list. In a grocery store high calorie foods are the ones that look you in the eye so do not go to grocery store hungry.

15. Do not watch TV when you are eating. That includes snacks as well as meals. Studies have proved that we eat larger portions in front of the TV, probably because we are much less aware of what we are eating. When you eat, only eat if you want to fast weight lose.
