Have Your Cake and Eat It TooEat Using the Cake Diet with Extra-fortified Recipes for Better Health and Weight Loss
We've been told to fill up on fruits and veggies, but what about cake? The Cake Diet allows you to eat such goodies as long as they are specially made with extra vitamins
How many times have you been on a calorie-restrictive diet and wished you could eat a piece of cake or other baked goodies rather than chomping on fruits and vegetables all day? If you're anything like me, it's quite often! I'll bet it's at least crossed your mind, right? What if I told you that you could eat the baked goodies instead of vegetables without feeling guilty that you are making the wrong choice? According to Dean Kapsalakis, is his book, "Let's Eat Cake: A Biological Theory of Eating", you can. You can eat healthier versions of the originals and still lose weight. This isn't another restrictive diet that rules out one or more food groups and it doesn't suggest that you eat all cake all the time either. It actually opens up more possibilities for dieters and allows us to stay on track longer without feeling deprived. Common cookies and cakes are stripped of their nutritional value and are high calorie versions. The idea behind the Cake Diet is that we can enjoy these types of snacks by adding nutrients to make them healthy choices. He refers to this as extra-fortification. Think of extra-fortification as a way to add vitamins and minerals and change the recipe of common cakes and cookies to put back the nutritional value, much like what is done for cereal. Adding items like wheat germ, using egg substitutes and using whole-wheat flour create recipes that are tasty and good for you. In essence, we can have our cake and eat it too. No more drooling over someone else's dessert, wishing you could have some or worse yet, having a piece and feeling guilty about it because you have caused another setback in your weight loss progress. The amazing thing is no one can tell the difference between the healthy snacks and the store-bought goodies. Kapsalakis created 80 unique recipes to try. Who knew dieting could taste so good?
