Low Calorie Doesn't Mean Low Taste

By: Jimmy Cox

Here you will find recipes for low-calorie eye catchers. These are made with the artificial sweeteners, Sweeta and Sucaryl. They have valuable functions when used with moderation, but their excessive use is not encouraged.

These dishes have the eye appeal of high-calorie desserts and dressings. This does not mean, however, that they will satisfy you in the same way.

It is suggested that you reserve them for party and special occasions. If you are overweight, your eating habits need a reeducation. If the following preparations ease the strain of your reeducation they perform a valuable service -but the sooner you can discard them entirely the sooner you will reach and maintain your desirable weight.
