How to Satisfy a Sweet Tooth While You're On a Diet

Sweets are my downfall. I LOVE SWEETS, thus, my issues with weight. We're trying to lose weight again and instead of avoiding the things I love, I'm implementing them into my lifestyle.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Variety of food (lists included on each step)

1. PUMPKIN CAKE - All you need is one box of yellow cake + one standard can of pumpkin. (No eggs, or oil) Mix up the cake mix and pumpkin really good. I usually throw in some water to rinse out the pumpkin can.
   Cook at 350 for approximately 40 minutes.
   Usually I prepare mine in a muffin pan - I make 12 small cakes. Serving size figured by 1/12 of cake
   CALORIES 255 1 gram SAT FAT 3 grams of FIBER
   
   Top with a dab low fat cool whip.
2. SUGAR FREE JELLO PUDDING - Uses 2 cups of skim milk
   
   Stir this up for 2 minutes with a whisk, pour into bowls and 5 minutes later - you've got a cool treat. Plus you're getting your calcium. We've been mixing fresh fruit in ours for parfaits.
   Serving size figured 1/2 cup of pudding (Box makes 4 servings)
