EASY Guide to Cooking Deliciously and with Fewer Calories

What would you think if we told you that you can enjoy delicious sweets and desserts while taking care of your weight? There are alternatives to traditional sugar that help you maintain your figure, while also taking care of your health. Are you interested? We present to you the sugar substitutes that will help you save calories without affecting your health: Aspartame: is 220 times sweeter than traditional sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed to sweeten. To make the most of its flavor, it is not recommended for use in baked recipes. Sucralose: is a sugar substitute made from traditional sugar. It is commonly used in light foods and beverages, as it does not alter blood glucose levels. It can be added directly to foods at the table. Saccharin: is one of the oldest sugar substitutes (discovered in 1879). It can be up to 700 times sweeter than normal sugar. Saccharin is heat and acid resistant, so it is often found in light products. Stevia: is made from the leaves of the stevia plant, known as sugar herb due to its very sweet leaves. Consuming stevia, along with a balanced diet, helps to reduce calorie intake. Acesulfame (or acesulfame K): its taste and texture are very similar to that of traditional sugar. Generally, it is used in combination with other sweeteners in low-calorie products.   If you are interested in maintaining your weight or simply adopting a healthier lifestyle, we suggest including sugar substitutes in your diet. These sweeteners provide very few or no calories and are a safe and healthy alternative, despite the false myths that have arisen around them. In fact, as you will see, these ingredients are present in some products we consume every day such as desserts, cookies, beverages, candies, among others. So enjoy your favorite dessert guilt-free with sugar substitutes. If you love cooking, you know that the packets sweeten more than the sugar substitutes sold for cooking. You can find it in any supermarket and prepare one of these delicious recipes: Light Cheesecake  Replace the ¾ cup of brown sugar in this recipe with ½ cup of a granulated sucralose-based sugar substitute: Besides using protein-rich and low-fat dairy, the chocolate and fruit give this dessert a delicious touch. One serving contains only 150 kcal. Strawberry and Yogurt Gelatin  This gelatin contains light yogurt, so it likely already includes some of the sweeteners listed above. Some light yogurts are not very sweet, so you can enhance it with ¼ cup of no-calorie sugar substitute to make it sweeter, but we recommend tasting it first. Light Cheesecake This cheesecake could become your next favorite dessert, as it is truly creamy and low in sugar due to the sucralose sweetener it contains. Remember that sucralose is ideal for baking, as it does not change its flavor. Passion Fruit Dessert  This dessert is simple but has a very exotic flavor. Enjoy all the benefits of these ingredients and add a sweet touch with 2 teaspoons of a baking-friendly sugar substitute. If you don't have granulated sweetener for cooking, you can make these delicious pears and add 1 packet of no-calorie table sweetener: Boiled Pears  These pears can be a delicious light dessert or a gourmet snack if you want to treat yourself in the afternoon. Try sprinkling sliced almonds to add energy to the dish.
