   Desserts

Desserts are fairly limited on the Carb Flush Prep Phase at Weight Loss Review, although you can feel free to enjoy sugar-tree gelatin or a healthy and satisfying ricotta cheese combination. Fruits, particularly berries, are ideal desserts. Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate wonderful! Remember, the darker the chocolate, the lower the sugar content.

Many food manufacturers began adding partially hydrogenated fats - trans fats-to replace the previously used saturated fats in commercial goods as a way of preserving their shelf lives. Trans fats are common in cookies and baking mixes. Trans fats are worse than saturated fats and should be avoided as much as possible.
