Easy 2 Ingredient Low Carb Sugar Free Dessert



So this is a recipe for a quick and oh-so-simple low carb dessert. It's been a go-to of mine for years! The best thing about this dessert is that it's totally customizable after you make the basic recipe. There's SO many things you can do with this to make all sorts of guilt free goodies!



One thing to remember is moderation. While this may be a good low carb alternative to many other high carb high sugar sweets, i'd save this for a once in a while treat. Carbs can add up quick when you ignore serving sizes.


Ingredients

Sugar Free Jell-O instant pudding. (any flavor)
Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions
Simply substitute heavy cream for the amount of milk that the pudding normally calls for and mix as usual. That's it! If you use a hand mixer and whip it for quite a while it'll turn out pretty thick! I love it this way.

What can you do with it?

After i lost my official pinterest page which was so special because of your all Participations, i decided not to give up and start over,



Using this basic recipe, you can make all sorts of cool low carb desserts!

-You can eat it as is right after mixing and add fresh fruit or sugar free syrups or jams.

-If your using vanilla pudding you can customize the flavor and add flavor extracts.

-You can freeze it and it will resemble sugar free "ice cream." After freezing you can also add low carb goodies such as mentioned above.

-You can pair it with a pre-made low carb pie crust for a no bake pie option.

-You can heat it up in the microwave for a warm and rich pudding. Heat if for only about 15 seconds or so and check it before heating more. It will start to curdle if you leave it in too long, although you can still eat it this way, it just kind of looks yucky.After warmed you can also add any low carb or sugar free options here too for more variations.

AMAZING DRINK WHICH BURNS FAT IN AN INSTANCE



During the winter months, the body has the tendency to increase the accumulation of fat tissue. Two of the major contributors to this are the lowered physical activity and the greasy meals. We become aware of this critical zone around the waist with the first sign on warmer days. Instead of thinking about how to cover and hide the consequences of winter with fashion allies, we are offering you a drink, which together with exercising will burn the fats.





Ingredients for this sour drink:

  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • The juice and peel of 1 lemon

Preparation:

Wash the lemon and then grate its peel in a bowl and then put some hot water in it. After 10 minutes, add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and a bit of chili pepper. Mix before every sip and drink it before and after eating.

If you liked this post then share it with your friends and family.

The cayenne pepper will improve the digestion of the food, speed up the metabolism, and stimulate the burning of the fat. Namely, its ingredient capsaicin stimulates the nervous system to create heat in the body, which promotes faster calorie waste.
Lemon contains a substance which slows down the accumulation of fats, and lemon peel contains polycosanol – a type of sugar which helps with burning the accumulated fat.
Regular consuming of a proper amount of apple cider vinegar helps degrade the fat in the body. The vinegar actually contains natural acids which clean the dissoluted toxins and throw out the undigested food from the intestines.

Fat Burning Foods



Article By: Dr. Janet Starr Hull, Ph.D., CN

Fat burning foods contain what are called
reverse calories. When mixed with fattening
foods, fat burning foods make fatty foods
less calorific by destroying their fat before
it is stored in the body. Eating greater
amounts of fat burning foods can make you
thin without starving yourself.



For example, real fruit is preferable to
fruit juice. A fresh orange is fat burning
because it requires digestive energy (calories)
to digest the pulp and fiber. Fresh orange
juice is not fattening but it is not ‘fat
burning’ because no great energy expense is
needed to digest it. Many soups, while
low-calorie, are not fat burning because
little effort is needed to digest them.

don't forget to share these article



Fatty meats are not considered fat burning
foods because the body is left with excess
calories after digestion. Lean meats, however,
can be considered fat burning foods. Leaner
meats help the body burn its own fat and do
not contribute left-over calories to any
significant degree. In addition to their
bodybuilding functions, lean meats stimulate
the production of glucagon, a fat-dissolving
hormone. Glucagon causes a release of fat from                     
inner fat stores so that the fat can be burned.
This happens in the presence of fat burning
foods.

  • 0.1 milligram riboflavin (3 percent DV)
  • 11.1 milligrams magnesium (3 percent DV)
All with some sugars, celery also contains some vitamin E, niacin, pantothenic acid, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium."



Researchers have confirmed the numerous health benefits of celery:

  • it assist in weight loss since it is low in calories but high in fiber
  • Celery helps digestion and treats stomach issues and constipation

  • Celery has been found to regulate cholesterol and blood pressure, since it contains phthalide
  • It is low in acids and relieves heartburn and acid reflux
  • Celery is abundant in vitamin A, so it improves vision, treats dry eyes, and protects the cornea
  • It can clean your teeth like a natural dental floss since it is breaking into fibrous strands while chewing
  • You can appreciate the countless benefits of celery in many ways. It goes great in soups, stir-fries, stews, and salads. It can also be dipped in peanut butter, hummus, or other sauces.
