Among the great variety of currently available popular and not so good diets, everyone is free to choose the one that suits him the most (but it will not be superfluous to nevertheless hold several consultations with a dietitian). However, many sweet tooth, going on a diet, are faced with the problem of what sweets can be eaten when losing weight. It is extremely difficult for them to manage without them. But the question of how to replace sweets with weight loss may be of interest, as they say, seriously and for a long time. Only with all the focus on the process, it is necessary to try to follow the instructions quite clearly. Then the effect will not take long, and extra pounds will run away.
Sweets for weight loss. What can and cannot be consumed?
As you know, in the world of cooking, there are both healthy and so-called bad sweets. Let's try to understand this rather difficult issue with you in more detail.
Of course, with low-calorie diets, you can not eat such sweets as cakes, pastries, muffins. They have a large amount of easily digestible carbohydrates, as a rule, they contain a large amount of sugar, other harmful and highly nutritious substances. But here, again, the whole thing is recipes. After all, you can make, for example, a sweet fruit cake based on honey. This will not be harmful at least, although it is still quite high in calories. We'll talk about recipes for making delicious sweets available with diets a little later. And now let's go over those products that are quite tasty and justified substitutes for the usual cakes and pies. So, the most useful sweets for weight loss. Top "seven" - to your attention.
Honey
A lot of articles have been written about the colossal benefits of this product for the human body. It is not only possible to use with diets, but also necessary. So, for example, there is even a special diet based on honey-lemon water solution, when nothing else is eaten. The effect is amazing. Not only extra pounds are dumped in almost a week, but the whole body is rejuvenated, the metabolism improves, and I don’t want to eat at all. And all because honey contains almost the entire periodic table, a lot of vitamins and enzymes.
Dietitians advise dieting to eat a couple of tablespoons of the product per day, assuring that this in no way affects the figure. But nevertheless, some caution should be observed in the use of honey, especially to those who really count calories eaten on a day. After all, the calorie content of honey is comparable to sugar! Another thing to pay attention to is that honey must certainly be fresh, not boiled and not made artificially. During heat treatment and preservation by the factory, most of the useful properties disappear, only high calorie content remains. Yes, and why preserve? Everyone knows that real good honey can be stored not in the refrigerator, but in the pantry for years! You also need to take the product from trusted beekeepers, if you take it from your hands. Because many dishonest private producers add sugar solution to honey or feed the bees themselves sugar, which also reduces the quality of honey, while, of course, increasing productivity.
Dried fruits
What other sweets can you use when losing weight without much harm? Of course, doctors recommend eating dried fruits. They can serve as excellent substitutes for cookies and sweets, so beloved by the sweet tooth of all ranks and stripes. In addition, properly dried and processed, they can be stored for a long time without compromising the usefulness of the product.
What can be offered, first of all, as the most affordable as nutrition when dieting? Dried apricots, raisins, prunes, of course, in the first place. These dried fruits are good for the heart and digestive organs. They contain a large amount of minerals and vitamins. Doctors recommend using them raw. If you are afraid of germs, you can pour over boiling water, but do not cook! In an extreme case - to cook compote, but then many useful things will disappear from these sweets. The second are dried apples and pears, berries. They can also adequately complement the list of what sweets you can eat with weight loss. It is a pity that many people prefer to eat them in various compotes. The cooking process slightly reduces their vitamin value. Therefore, if you feel the approach of hunger, instead of a sandwich or cookies, eat several dried fruits. And it will be more useful, and bring down the feeling of hunger, and quench your cravings for sweets.
Fresh fruits
Many of them resemble sweets to taste. Therefore, instead of the cake we take a banana, peel and eat. Sweet pears and apples, apricots and peaches, pineapples and oranges - all of them belong to the list of what sweets are allowed when losing weight. However, one should not forget about the compatibility of products and their calories (for those who count calories). Everything is good in moderation. If you eat a couple of kilos of grapes or oranges in one sitting - a slight indigestion is provided, and even diathesis.
Chocolate
There is constant debate among nutritionists about whether chocolate can be included in the Dietary Sweets list . When losing weight, you can use it, but in minimal quantities. Of course, chocolate is good for blood vessels and heart. The ancient Indians, who invented the "Chocolatl" - a ritual drink, introducing in a special state, did not even suggest the presence of sugar in it. So the product should be “right,” high in cocoa and low in sugar. Now even options are available - completely sugar free.
It must also be remembered that chocolate is very high-calorie, so the daily intake should be no more than 30 grams. If you immediately eat the whole tile (100 grams), then you can inflict a significant blow to the body. On a diet, it is better to even be limited to only 10-15 grams of the product per day.
Marshmallows and Marshmallows
Only they should also be properly prepared - without dyes and preservatives (it is better for the housewife to make them herself at home). Marshmallows contain pectins, removing fatty excess from the intestines and body. And without the presence of pectin, this sweetness becomes useless and is not recommended when dieting.
Marmalade
Oddly enough, but in the list: "What sweets you can eat with weight loss" and marmalade. This sweetness also contains pectins obtained from fruits. However, it is better to do it yourself, because, as a rule, those colorful and sweet candies that are sold in the store in a box have nothing to do with real marmalade. We must not forget about the amount of consumed product. No more than 25 grams of goodies are allowed per day.
Some additions
Among all of the above - only the most common permitted foods when dieting. Some sweeteners, due to their taste preferences, may include, for example, sprouted grain, sweet soy milk, licorice root, and other natural and equally tasty foods. It's all about taste. And everyone is free to choose a sweetener for himself. However, there are also specially made products, without sugar.
Fructose Sweets for Weight Loss
Typically, fructose is used instead of glucose to produce these sweets for diabetics. Of course, such a substitution reduces both the calorie content and the harmfulness of sweets to the body (especially in case of a certain disease). However, sweets for diabetics for weight loss should not be used too often for non-diabetic people, replacing sugar with fructose, since this component is also very high in calories. And the intake of an increased dose of it leads to the formation of fat (which is why with some diets it is not recommended to consume a large number of fruits containing fructose). What is good for some may be harmful to others!
Recipes
The topic of what sweets can be eaten while losing weight will not be fully disclosed without the participation of cooking. So, in the end, as promised, a few simple to perform, but complex sweets that can be consumed while dieting. Remember the quantities! Do not eat, even if you really want to, the whole cake at a time. Consumption rate - in accordance with the requirements of your chosen diet.
Fruit cake
Ingredients: half a liter of natural bio-yogurt, a couple of spoons of honey, 50 grams of gelatin, a couple of bananas, a few kiwi fruits (but you can, in principle, use any berries and fruits found in the refrigerator), natural fruit juice.
Dissolve gelatin in hot water and set aside to cool slightly. We cut the peeled fruits (the berries are peeled). We spread it beautifully in the prepared glass or silicone mold, deep enough. We make jelly from juice and gelatin. We wait until it hardens in the refrigerator, cut into cubes (you can make cubes of different colors from different juice). We lay the pieces on top of the fruits in the container. We also make jelly from yogurt and gelatin. Let it cool slightly and fill with a white mass pieces of fruit and cubes of jelly from juice. We put in the refrigerator to freeze. It turns out great sweetness, and it’s quite permissible with a diet.

Despite the sacred religious meaning of the dish, it can be prepared for everyday food, as an excellent substitute for cake. And to make everything very simple: boil wheat (or rice - a couple of bags), add nuts (half a glass of peeled walnuts) and honey (a couple of large spoons) with a handful of steamed raisins. Amazing sweetness turns out!
