Human beings love their sweets. Sweets are an integral part of every festival and celebration. Sweets are the expression of friendship and love. Sweets are the epitome of goodness in our society and the glue to our relationships. Sweets are intrinsic to our way of life.
However, refined sugar is an empty calorie food with no nutritional value. Today, elevated sugar content is one of the main contributors to the growing epidemic of weight gain and obesity. As healthcare professionals dealing with management of obesity, one of our biggest challenges is getting our patients to cut down on their sugar intake. One of the reasons for this is unavailability of healthier alternatives.
This book is an effort towards creating a resource that provides alternatives for healthy sweet options which will help patients to satisfy their sweet cravings. The recipes in this book have been contributed by nutritionists and healthcare professionals from across the world. The macronutrient calculation for every recipe is listed to educate patients about the nutritional content.
If you have a sweet tooth, the recipes in this book can help to make your weight loss journey easier.
