Light and Low-Calorie Desserts

We live in an era of heightened health awareness and food consciousness; beyond this, the United States is obsessed with weight loss. Thin is definitely in, and people realize they cannot eat whatever and whenever they want and still remain healthy. Everyone seems to be trying to reduce fat and sodium intake, lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels, and increase consumption of low-fat foods. Exercise, too, plays a big role in the current fitness frenzy, and I have always felt fortunate that my love of exercise has prevented any weight gain associated with my love of food. (Of course, there are those who say you should never trust a skinny chef.)
