A Yummy Low GI Snack

by coachjon

One thing that personal training and Singapore fitness bootcamp clients miss when trying to eat the right stuff for weight loss and fat burning, is desserts. While it can be hard at first, here is one suggestion for a dessert that is far less likely to add inches to your waistline. The reason for this is that the berries are low in glycimic index, glycimic load, and insulin load. This means that they don’t cause your body to turn on its fat storage mechanism. To make things better, I added heavy cream (sometimes called thickened cream) which is a source of healthy fats. The fats slow digestion even further so that they glycimic index is lowered further. Finally I added cinnamon which is a spice that increases insulin sensitivity. This means that your cells will receive the nutrients better – and not let them end up in the fat cells.

And best of all, it tastes yummy!

Depends how fat you are! But assuming you aren’t obese and are training hard you can probably have this every day without any ill effects. Just change the type of berries you choose each time.
