Say No to More Dessert: 4 Unexpected Strategies You Can Use Now

Dinner is over and you’ve cleaned your plate. It’s been a good day, and you’re proud of the progress you’ve made toward your health and weight loss goals. 

But the day just doesn’t feel complete until you’ve indulged in a little bit of dessert. 

Who first came up with the idea to end a meal with a sweet treat? Who said you need a little delicacy to end your day on a high note?

I don’t know where the tradition started, but I know it’s one of my favorites!

Dessert feels like a reward for making it through a whole day. And it can feel even more rewarding if you’ve stuck to a healthy eating plan.

It’s hard to say no to dessert because you feel like you’re missing out on something yummy. And no one wants to do that. 

But dessert is just like any other food you deny yourself. As soon as you say, “I’m giving up dessert—for good this time,” it suddenly becomes the one thing you can’t live without.

I mean, of course you can’t give up dessert today. You should start tomorrow. So, you should live it up today and enjoy your favorite, right? And since you won’t be having it any more, you should have two servings…or maybe three?

Well, sis, thank God there’s a more sane and logical approach to dessert! You don’t need to cut it out of your life completely. In fact, you can even eat it every day. 

If you’ve spent years trying to deny yourself dessert, you might think this news is too good to be true. But allowing yourself to eat dessert is actually the secret key to saying no to dessert. 

It all comes down to 4 unexpected strategies you can use to say no to dessert. I promise, it’s easier than you think! You might even find yourself saying no to dessert and being happy about it.
