Low-cal alternatives
healthier than sweets
By JESSICA BROOKS
Staff Writer
Two layers in a double fudge
chocolate cake add up to too many
calories for most weight-conscious
Americans.
But many health food stores and
fitness centers are offering a break
from the chocolate cake routine by
suggesting low-calorie dessert alter
natives to their concerned customers.
Substituting frozen yogurt,
gelatin, honey and fruits for sweets
and changing eating habits are
possibilities they suggest.
Angela Ayotte, manager at The
Country's Best Yogurt, said more
dieters are turning to the store's
yogurt because it contains low-fat
milk and natural flavoring.
TCBY claims their yogurt has
about half the calories of ice cream.
According to Ayotte, TCBY's fruit
flavored yogurt contains about 30
calories an ounce, chocolate contains
35 calories and French vanilla,
approximately 41.
One of TCBY's rivals in the recent
yogurt war is The Yogurt Pump,
and, calorie for calorie (or rather,
lack of calorie for lack of calorie).
The Yogurt Pump has TCBY beaten..
Most of the store's flavors contain
about 20 calories an ounce, except
for chocolate, which has about 25
calories, employee Nancy Redfern
said.
Georgean Shaw, a Weight
Watchers consultant, has a low-cal
milk shake recipe. "You can freeze
skim milk, take it out of the freezer
and run it through the blender for
an ice cream treat," she said. Dieters
can then add flavoring for extra
taste.
Shaw also suggests both unfa
vored gelatin and fruits cooked with
artificial flavoring.
John Shrader, a Harmony Farms
health food store employee, also
stresses the advantages of substitut
ing fruit for sweet high-calorie
desserts. "Fruit is really good
because it's quality calories instead
of empty calories," he said.
Employees of The Gym in Car
rboro agree that fruit is the dieter's
wisest choice. "When people have a
craving for carbohydrates, the best
thing to do is eat an apple. Fruit
provides a natural sweetness that is
healthier than regular desserts," one
employee said.
Shrader said dieters should eat
candy made with honey instead of
sugar. "Products made with fruit
sugars are twice as sweet as those
sweetened with sugar, but are lower
in calories," Shrader said.
Gelatin with Nutra-Sweet is a
good-tasting low-calorie dessert,
Shrader said. "A lot of people seem
to have problems with Nutra-Sweet.
Personally, 1 think it's fine ... I even
feel guilty when I eat it."
Suzanne Stephens of Spa Health
Clubs said Cool Whip is also very
how in calories, even though the
calories are empty. "Even light
pastries are okay as long as the crust
is not too thick," Stephens said.
Many food specialists suggest
changing eating habits to quell the
chocolate cake desire.

Yogurt, gelatin and fruit are healthier and more nutritious ways to lose those extra pounds than eating sugary desserts
gram oriented more toward making
sure its participants get the proper
foods than toward counting calories.
Hendrick said the craving for sweets
comes from the lack of proper
nutrition. "If a person gets the proper
amount of nutrition, the sweet
craving greatly decreases."
Stephens of the Spa Health Club
suggests ways to forego dessert
altogether. "Before eating dinner, a
person should drink about two
glasses of water. This helps to curb
the appetite." During the course of
the meal, a dieter should "eat slower,
(eat) less portions and learn to leave
food behind," Stephens said.
Another way to avoid eating
dessert is to wait 20 minutes after
eating a meal before starting dessert.
"It takes 20 minutes for the stomach
to tell the brain a person is full,"
Stephens said.
To quell the desire for sweets after
a meal, Stephens suggests chewing
gum or drinking hot tea. She said,
"Many times, hunger is just an oral
fixation. Once this is filled, the desire
is satisfied."
