5 tips to reduce sugar consumption: Femme Actuelle Le MAG


Play the aroma card

According to a recent study published by Danish researchers in the journal Foods, it is vanilla that best allows you to reduce sugar to enhance your desserts. Banana, elderflower, honey, or even raspberry also reinforce the perception of sweet flavor.

Take the time to savor

Whether it’s a cake, chocolate … If we focus on what we eat, the pleasure felt decreases with the bites. Guaranteed efficiency!

Reduce the sugar in your recipes by 20%

It is an easy habit adopted by pastry chefs who revisit traditional desserts. And it remains just as good!

Do not offer several desserts at the table

A study on eating behavior by Professor Marc Fantino shows that no longer feeling pleasure in eating a cake because you are full does not prevent you from keeping the desire to taste a second, or even a third, intact. It is therefore in our best interest to avoid multiplying the possible choices during dessert.

Bet on good coffees, teas, or yogurts

At the end of the meal, it is better to choose products sufficiently tasty to end on a gourmet note without absolutely needing to sweeten them.
