[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote][quote]Greek yogurt with fruit is not dessert.[/quote]

Well, for thin women in shape, Greek yogurt with fruit is desert. It's not about starving or constantly exercising. It is about being conscious about what you eat.

I am in a great shape and basically the same weight since high school (size XS), and eat a very healthy diet without counting calories. But yes, I rarely have a "traditional dessert" (ice cream, cake, pastry, etc.). I do love dark chocolate and have some daily. Also, a glass (or two) of red wine. Also almost daily.[/quote]

not true - i'm thin and in decent shape and do not consider yogurt with fruit a dessert. i consider ice cream, cookies, cake, pie, etc dessert. i know it's not healthy, but everything in moderation right? i don't think it's healthy to think too much about what you eat.[/quote]

+10!  There seems to be such an extreme puritanical approach here to eating "well."  I am thin (well generally, I am still a couple pounds up postpartum), as is my whole family, and we eat dessert regularly.  But that means baking some cookies every other week, or occasional birthday cake, or half a doughnut at a staff mtg at work.  There is no reason you can not enjoy eating.  You just can't have a huge dessert or eat dessert all of the time.  Or heck, if you do have a massive piece of cheesecake - you simply just eat light your next meal!  Not rocket science.[/quote.]

I don't eat much sugar so my dessert is Greek yogurt with fruit and dark chocolate. I don't really care if other people don't consider either as dessert.  And I don't eat it as a consolation price. I love the way it tastes. If I  eat your run of the mill dessert, I find it gross as I don't like food that is too sweet.

To give you another example, I often drink mochas made with whole milk. Wherever I go, I ask how many shots of chocolate syrup is normally used. When I find out, I ask them to half it or make it 1/3 and often times it is still too sweet to my liking.

When I went to Italy recently I ate dessert every day, but their pastries are not that sweet. And of course they were delicious. I think most Americans need to recalibrate their taste buds. It's not healthy to eat that much sugar.[/quote]
