After a nice meal, we all get the taste for something creamy and satisfying. But too many desserts can derail your diet. Here are 5 after-dinner or late night snacks that will still let you respect yourself in the morning.
*Angel Food Cake. Light, luscious, cholesterol free and only half the calories of a slice of butter cake. Enjoy a slice with sliced strawberries or raspberries, crushed to make them extra juicy.
*Sorbet. Cool, fruity, dairy-free and more elegant than ice cream.
*Hot Chocolate. Rich, frothy and chocolaty. Add some marshmallows and you’ll feel like a kid again.
*Frozen Fruit Bar. Strawberry, raspberry, lime or lemon fruit bars are a wonderful indulgence. Look for the ones that contain 100% fruit.
*Dark Chocolate and Black Coffee. Go European and skip the latte. Enjoy a steaming cup of rich coffee with one perfect bite of dark chocolate. The perfect ending to a perfect meal. Enjoy.

Lose weight and feel great by replacing a cup of coffee with this “Superfood”!
Studies have shown that drinking a cup or two of green tea each day can raise metabolic rates and speed fat loss. Green tea is rapidly becoming known as a “Superfood” for it’s amazing anti-oxidant and weight control abilities and it can help protect against cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
Green Tea helps to boost your metabolism and burns fat. It also prevents your body from producing extra insulin, which can further slow your metabolism and increase belly fat. In fact, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, known for his anti-aging book, The Perricone Prescription, stated on Oprah in 2004 that “just the simple change of substituting your morning cup of coffee with a cup of green tea will cause you to lose ten pounds in six weeks”.
Green tea can be found at the grocery store, in mouth-watering flavors like Tangerine, Raspberry and Strawberry, as well with the supplements in pill form. With all of these fat burning and metabolism boosting benefits, why not try a cup of green tea?
Here’s to your health.
