Several low-calorie desserts better for weight loss than one full-fat treat
Here is it
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/several-lowcalorie-desserts-better-for-weight-loss-than-one-fullfat-treat-2295613.html

"Dieters who allow themselves one full-fat dessert a week as a congratulatory treat could be inadvertently thwarting their weight loss efforts, a new study suggests.

Instead of indulging once a week on a regular dessert, a new Greek study suggests a more effective weight loss strategy is to consume low-fat, sugar-free desserts several times a week. The findings were presented at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston this week.

"Dieters commonly splurge on dessert once a week, usually choosing fattening items," said lead investigator and pediatrician Antonia Dastamani in a statement. "However, we found a positive effect of more frequent consumption of desserts that have a low glycemic index and low glycemic load."

Foods with a low glycemic load and index raise blood sugar levels more slowly than other carbohydrates"

    You missed this...
    The first group was fed low-calorie desserts containing sugar substitutes like sucralose, supplied by Athens food company the Giotis Company, which also helped fund the study.

    When DQ starts making Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzards 'low-fat and sugar-free'.... and they actually taste good... I'll start eating 'em every day, instead of just on Sundays. Until then, Fat free Jello Pudding just doesn't cut it for me.

    A side note... I got to try a Snickers Blizzard. Snickers Bars are so good, frozen, or at least refrigerated until nice and cold, and less soft and chewy.

    That is complete nonsense. Maintain a caloric deficit and it doesn't really matter what you eat, as it pertains to weight loss.

    Any article or "study" that says "is fattening" should be immediately ignored, imo.

    I agree. They should instead be learning how to make dessert an enjoyable part of their life, whenever they want it, while still meeting their nutrition goals.

    This. No.

    Eat what you want, in moderation, and still lose weight.


    But I mean, what would I know about anything related to weight loss.

    If they're talking about a 1000+ calorie dessert, well yeah... maybe. But I call BS.
