Table of calories of desserts
Cakes and pastries are the most harmful kind of sweets for our health. They contain sugar fat that negatively influences the blood’s cholesterol level and the sugar quantities are quickly absorbed, thus deregulating our body’s carbohydrate flow.

Desserts and a healthy dietNot only children enjoy sweets and desserts. Some advice recommended by nutrition specialists for the children’s food pyramid can relate to adults: instead of a cream cake - have a yeast cake, instead of sweets – a chocolate. The high energetic value of these products increases risks of obesity. A simple way to check whether we’re in danger of being overweight is to use the BMI calculator.
Consuming sweet pastries also introduces bad eating habits; we can get rid of them by applying a “total change” diet. When we eat these kinds of sweets, we cheat our bodies of a proper meal full of wholemeal cereal products, the source of proteins, vitamins and minerals. If we serve sweets between meals, we deregulate the body’s carbohydrate balance - that requires three main meals during the day and two little snacks; without any nibbling and extra calorie intakes. Jumps in the blood sugar level between meals lead the development of diabetes type 2 and to obesity.
The optimum is to have two desserts prepared based on natural products, without additives and with the lowest calorie level possible. You can serve e.g. raspberries with a little honey. We recommend carrot cake, which has a flavour similar to ginger bread; you can try a dietetic version of this.
