Today's dessert appropriately comes from the , which means you'll really be showing just how much you care about the loved ones in your life. With raspberries, red grapes, and strawberries, these fruit tarts will win the heart of any valentine. Here's to your health!
Makes 6 servings or 6 tarts
1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat sour cream 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint or 1/4 teaspoon dried mint, crushed 4-ounce package single-serve graham cracker crusts (6 small crusts) 1 cup assorted cut-up fresh fruit 1/3 cup nonfat or low-fat lemon or raspberry yogurt

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and in honor of it, I'm not going to talk about the nutritional value of chocolate. Yes, there does appear to be some real health benefits associated with eating small amounts of , but I think that's really not what we eat chocolate for. Instead, when we focus on the good nutrition found in chocolate, it's often an attempt to assuage guilty feelings that I encourage you not to have in the first place!
If we enjoy it, eating chocolate is part of intuitive . We eat it because it tastes good, and eating too much of it doesn't taste good. know that nothing tastes good in excess. And if we don't eat chocolate in excess, whatever things that are in it that may not be good for our health in excess aren't relevant.
I argue that, if we like it, eating chocolate is good for our health regardless whether it contains anything that scientists have found has disease-fighting benefits or not. That's because happiness is a big part of being healthy. If we walk around feeling down because we're deprived, or guilty, or joyless because we don't let ourselves take part in life's pleasures that are food, it's hard to feel happy.
So when your sweetie, or friend, or mom, or whoever, hands you a box of chocolates tomorrow, go ahead and enjoy! Banish those thoughts of calories, fat, weight, health. Just savor each piece you decide to eat, and to tell you when enough is enough. Then enjoy the rest of your day knowing you've treated your body well...and your psyche to boot!
The hardest calories to control (for most) are at night. We all know that overeating your calories in the evening can either make or break your weight loss regiment. So what is a girl (or guy) to do if they just can't seem to manage their eating when the sun starts to goes down??? Here are a couple of tips to help you consume less and gain back yourself esteem for the spring.
Whoa ... how true is this commercial!??? It makes you think twice before "proceeding to the next window."
Eat more calories during the day. Eating more calories during the day helps you to manage your calories at night. Not to mention, that eating more calories during the day give you more time to burn them off so you don't store them as fat!!!!
Eat off of a BLUE plate (or dishes). BLUE is the least appetising color.
"Blue is one of the least appetising. Blue food is rare in nature. Blue-coloured food is repulsive to humans for the reason that when your ancestors searched for food, they learned to avoid toxic or spoiled objects, which were often blue, black, or purple. During experiments, when participants were served with food dyed blue, they lost appetite.
Blue relaxes your nervous system. It has a sobering effect on the mind and is capable of being the symptomatic cause of people to be more contemplative, which is the opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue, which is a beneficial colour for bedrooms, causes the body to produce calming chemicals. Darker shades of blue, however, are capable of being experienced as cold and depressing.
Blue surroundings, if not too dark, increase productivity. Studies show that students score higher, weightlifters lift heavier weights in blue rooms. People retain more when reading information written in blue text ()"
No one Really wants to take pills at night HOWEVER. If you had the choice between a lean body, or a body covered by a layer of fat (due to excess eating). Would you take the darn pill??! Of course you would!!! If the blue plate doesn't curb your appetite then maybe it's time you tried to use Hoodia at night. This new supplement made from a succulent plant is all natural and has been used by the African bushmen for hundreds of years. It has the ability to keep you full without any chemicals or stimulants... perfect for the night time when people tend to binge eat. For more information on Hoodia ... Check out the article I worte last month! Just type Hoodia into the search engine in the right hand corner!
Drink Your Water! I know you have heard it a million times... but I'm telling you again. Drinking water keeps you full and thin. It also keep your body healthy (since you're flushing out the toxins), and your skin clear!
GO TO BED EARLY! People get hungry late in the evening because their body is struggling to stay awake. It needs more energy to stay up late so it forces you to eat more.

Happy Valentine's Day!
