LOW-CALORIE DESSERT AND TREAT OPTIONS

Everyone likes a little something sweet now and then, especially when they’ve been behaving well on a low-calorie diet. Fruits are always a great sweet treat, and for those times when you’d like something a little more special, we’ve added some choices that can be had for 100 calories or less.

Feel free to indulge when you have a craving, but make sure that you’re limiting these treats to just once a day or rewarding yourself even more occasionally. It’s still important to try to keep sugar intake to a minimum, even on non-fasting days, so that your body’s insulin and glucose levels begin to reach a healthier, more balanced state.
