Sweets are the enemy when dieting. However, if you resist sweets for too long, you may end up stressed and resort to overeating. In times like these, incorporating sweets appropriately can help you feel refreshed and lead to successful dieting. Below, we will introduce you to some tips and tricks on how to choose sweets that you can enjoy without feeling guilty, even while dieting.

1. Focus on the material
When choosing sweets for dieting, the quality of the ingredients is important. Keep the following points in mind:

・Use low-calorie sweeteners <br data-mce-fragment="1">Instead of sugar, it is a good idea to use natural sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup. However, even with natural sweeteners, you should be careful not to consume too much.

- High-protein sweets <br data-mce-fragment="1">Sweets made with Greek yogurt and protein powder are easy to feel satisfied with and also help maintain muscle mass.

・Make use of natural sweetness <br data-mce-fragment="1">Sweets made with fruit can provide natural sweetness and vitamins. Try using bananas and berries in smoothies and frozen desserts.

2. Handcraft and control
Many commercially available sweets are high in calories and sugar, but you can control these by making your own.

3. Be conscious of portions
The golden rule with sweets is to only eat the amount you want to enjoy. Serving them in small bowls or making them bite-sized will help prevent overeating. It's also effective to set a rule of "only one per day" to avoid taking in too many calories.

4. Get creative with your timing
You also need to think about when to eat sweets. The recommended times are as follows:

After exercise: Within 30 minutes of exercise, it is a good time to replenish your energy efficiently. For example, a protein smoothie with banana is ideal.

- Eating it after lunch while you are still active in the afternoon will help you burn energy more easily.

5. Recommended store-bought sweets
If you're too busy to make your own, you can always use store-bought healthy sweets.
