For your health, limit fat, sugar and salt!
When getting back to light and lean cuisine, desserts
don’t have to be ruled out altogether. A healthy diet is
also a balanced one, and desserts have their place at
the table. Just use common sense: go for fruit-based
desserts and approach eating with the 80/20 Rule:
make conscious, healthful choices 80% of time,
leaving 20% for guilt-free fun.
