I only eat desserts in the weekends when I am free from work. And mostly I make a applepie, and have vanillasauce with it. It is my favorite. But is it healthy to have desserts after dinner? What do you think. At my work, I work as a assistance nurse for geriatric care, we serve desserts for them every day. So I wonder, it can not be that none healthy if we serve it every day. Some say that it is OK to have a dessert, and some do not....?????

Hello,anetteh,I hear that eat fruits or desserts after supper is not good for our healthy.I know this,but I can't control myself,but I don't think it is right,then I want to eat someting I think it is no matter.
However,It ia a fact that eating fruits after meals will be bulging belly,so now I still pay attention to it.

Well, I do not agree to that. It is really god to have some fruit after dinner. I am often peckish for some sweets after a dinner, so taking a fruit instead of snacks are better. And you should eat at least one fruit a day, and lots of vegetable. It is all the stuff you eat between the meals that is not healthy. You should eat three made meals.
1) breakfast
2) lunch
3) dinner
and between those meals you should have healthy snacks like fruits. That is what I have learned from my diet. If you do follow those eating rules, you keep your health and gain weightlost to. I do this, and do not think much about my overweight anymore, and lucky me, I have lost a lot of weight.
Thank you for responding.

hi anetteh! 
i don't usually eat desserts after meals but whenever i do, i eat fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple, etc. as much as possible i don't eat sweets because that can make me fat. ^__~ i do love eating chocolate cakes and chocolate brownies though. they are my weaknesses.

Fruit is god after dinner, it is healthy to. I do not know about You,, or others, but I always feel for sweet stuff after a meal. And instead of having scacks or sweets, its god to have a fruit. Since fruit contain fruit sugar. Brownies are god with coffee I agre with you on that....

No, actually I hardly ever eat desserts. Growing up my mom would make them for Sunday lunches. A treat for our meal right after church. But I think to save money we had a low budget for anything dessert like. Even when I go out and eat, whether I'm paying or not, I never order dessert. It's probably good I don't. I am not sure I could limit a dessert to simply jello. : )

No, we did not have dessert after dinner at my home neither. We had some desserts in the weekends but in the evenings instead. But, since I moved out from home, and start working I have noticed that it always serve dessert after dinner at the home for geriatric care where I do work. So I started to serve dessert on sundays to. Not becouse of a smal budget, but just to light the weekend up. After a hard working week, it is nice to end with something tastie.

Well, that is a god way to end a week. A hard working week should be paid with something extra doesn´t it. I always have desserts in the weekends. I make something extra to make the hard working week past away. God For You, thanks for responding.

hi anetteh. i love dessert, but dont have it too much. the kids are always at me for dessert. i let them have it some nights, but i try to encourage them to eat fruit instead. they love jelly, so i try to have some made up in the fridge. they mainly get icecream when we have dessert, but sometimes we will have apple pie or caramel dumplings. they are yummy.
best wishes to you, and take care.

Yes, kids do like desserts. But as You I like to take it on the weekend to make the weekends feels a bit special. It should feel you have some days without any demands of weight or health. I think, if you wait for something good you do not wait to long.
Thank you for responding. Have a great week.

Yup, Anetteh, I usually take my desserts during the working days, when I have my lunch at restaurants or foodstores. I would have mango puddings, cheesecakes, jellies or other local desserts- which I can't prepare at home.
If I'm having desserts at home, then it's ice cream, cut fruits or ice cream with cut fruits (apples, kiwifruit, mango)!

I don't usually eat dessert after every meal because i'm already full before dessert. I usually take dessert at home but when I'm outside like in a resto, I don't take dessert anymore. Because I eat dessert at home, my usual dessert are fruits like banana, grapes or apples. When I am craving for an ice cream, I go to the grocery to buy some ice cream for my dessert.
