Dessert

[canon6]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hello,[/FONT]
I really love having a dessert after dinner, I usually have a Weight Watchers dessert or fruit and yogurt. Will I still be able to get good results?

I do 40mins of weight training 3 times a week and 40mins of cardio 2 times a week.


Thanks.

Well ok. It's less a question of dessert or not and more how much food and calories in total?

Calculate the amount of calories youre consuming and that will answer your question!

flexible dieting only works when you sub in the desert instead of your dinner

the reason is let's say you have a standard 300-400 calorie dinner.. then have desert which is another 300-400 calories.. now you are going to easily go over maintenance

keep in mind 1 hour of solid exercise as a women will burn 300 calories only. so you are going to spin your wheels doing this

so if you insist on desert give up a meal, that is the only way i see this working for you and keep the portion SMALL

Just track your overall calories and make sure you are not going over. That will prevent fat gain.

Fruit is very low calorie. Having a piece of fruit after dinner will not derail your fitness goals at all.

Just make sure it's whole fruit. Not fruit juice or fruit snacks or anything like that.

I have 1 piece of fruit before bed every night. I really enjoy it and it cuts my sweet tooth
