Top 5 Sugar-Free Desserts You’re Going to Love

sugar free dessert recipes

We all love dessert, right? I mean, who doesn’t love to indulge in some sweet delicious goodness once in a while!

But let’s talk real for a second. We all have fitness goals as well, which definitely creates a dilemma. They say that nothing tastes as good as being fit feels.

But you know what? Sometimes ice cream does! Am I right?

And that’s totally okay! While your favorite desserts don’t always fit with your nutritional goals, cheating every once in a while is fine. It’s all about balance.

But with healthier dessert options (like sugar-free), you can have the great taste of cheating and still reach your fitness goals!

To give you some healthier dessert alternative ideas, I came through with a few of my favorite sugar-free dessert recipes you’re going to love!

Botched Circumcision Leads to Penis Amputation for Baby Boy

From  cord blood banking  to  baby naming ceremonies , parents of newborns have a bevy of key decisions to make when it comes to medical procedures and religious and/or cultural practices. For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry.

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet.
