I am soo sad......

I am soooooo sad. I read A LOT about nutrition and weight loss and check out different sources. In an e-book that I purchased - Feed the Muscle, Lose the Fat I came across some disturbing news. When you eat fats in combination with sugar, your body is primed to keep that food combination as body FAT.

My MOST favorite fat/sugar combinations that I can think of are ice cream (thus being really, really sad) and chocolate! Oh hell! Now what are we gonna do?????

So I have been aware of this for a few months and kinda filed it in the back of my head as "gonna try to ignore". Not working! Especially since today I can across a post on a weight loss discussion board that was talking about this very thing and referenced an article in the New York times. So I guess this is not something to be ignored!

So sitting here thinking of all the yummy parts of my day that will be effected - coconut milk flavored creamer in my coffee - sugar/fat, dark chocolate bits - sugar/fat. It is everywhere - in all the occasional indulging cheat foods - ice cream, cheesecake, peanut butter (if it is not no sugar added), donuts, and on and on and on.

My solution?!?!?! I am researching any and all yummy stevia recipes that will allow me to have my ice cream and not the body fat! I already have a favorite chocolate coconut milk ice cream that I make sugar free - guess that is the answer for today. Do you have any favorite sugar free dessert recipes made with stevia?

On a happy note:

I just got an email from one of the fitness guru's newsletters I receive. It has this link in it:
