Delicious South Beach Diet Desserts Make Weight Loss Easy

South Beach Diet desserts are perhaps the best part of this diet.

After all, how many diets not only allow desserts, but encourage them?

These desserts are not only delicious, but nutritious.

The South Beach Diet is divided into three distinct phases.

While phase one is the strictest, it still allows for some great South Beach Diet desserts.

The recommended desserts for this first phase all contain ricotta cheese.

They are simple to make and require only a few ingredients.

All the desserts start with ricotta cheese, then a small amount of sugar substitute is added along with some flavoring such as:

• Vanilla extract
• Almond extract
• Lemon zest
• Lime zest or
• Cocoa powder.

During phase two of the diet, some foods are reintroduced including fruit.

Many of the phase two South Beach Diet recipes use fruit.

Chocolate dipped fruits like strawberries and pears are two of the recommended desserts for phase two.

Sugar-free pudding or low-fat yogurt with fruit are other delicious dessert options.

Of course, the phase one desserts are still allowed in this next phase.

However, in phase two you can now add fruit to these already tasty desserts.

Try the ricotta dessert with the lime zest and strawberries for a refreshing combination of tastes.

Phase three of the diet is meant to be followed for life.

That is why this phase is the most lenient and is meant to be about smart choices and moderation.

While no desserts are technically off-limits, some South Beach Diet desserts are recommended more than others.

Now, all of the phase one and two desserts are allowed but there are some tantalizing additions to the list.

Chocolate sponge cake and lime cheesecake, both prepared with some less fattening and sugar-free ingredients are now allowed as part of the diet.

Who can resist a diet that includes such tempting treats as those?

Many traditional desserts can become South Beach Diet desserts by simply substituting some ingredients.

Use a sugar substitute such as Splenda in place of real sugar.

Also, try substituting lower fat versions of some ingredients like milk and cheese.

By making some simple substitutions, you can really have your cake and eat it too!
