Low-Fat Lifestyle |
Got a gallbladder problem? On a low-fat diet? Whatever the issue, cutting back on fat doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. A low-fat diet can be delicious, and I can show you how.

Notes Low-Fat Easter Candy!Holidays are always a bit tricky when it comes to eating low fat. I mean, how do you make a chocolate Easter bunny low fat? Truth is, you really can’t. There are just some things that have to go.
But, thankfully, there are a lot of good low-fat options for Easter candy. They’re still not exactly healthy, but they’re at least low fat.
Marshmallow Peeps
Somebody at this company was a genius to think of dipping them in chocolate. The fat content is still super low, so no worries.

Jelly Beans
What’s Easter without jelly beans? Pure sugar, no fat. I can handle that for a day.

Lindt Miniature Chocolates
Full disclosure: These are NOT low fat. What makes them okay is the portion size. They’re miniature, so 1 or 2 really isn’t a big deal. And they’re not the Lindt truffles, which are so fatty that even one is one too many.

Swedish Fish
I think they were trying to make their version of a jelly bean…Not quite sure, but I’ll go with it. Can’t argue with Swedish Fish!

When it comes to Easter candy, the bottom line is this: Sugary candy is safe. (Terrible for your health, but won’t bug your gallbladder.) Portion control is key when it comes to fattier things like chocolate.
Happy Easter!

Notes It’s Here: Easter Candy!!On a recent visit to Target, I couldn’t help but notice the two huge aisles filled with nothing but Easter candy. It looked amazing.
This Easter marks my first on my low-fat diet. Like every other holiday this past year, I’ve had to modify most of the food. But don’t worry - Easter is a piece of cake next to Halloween and Christmas.
Luckily, a lot of Easter candy is sugar based. Hello, jelly beans anyone?
Target, being the massive store that it is, had literally half an aisle dedicated just to jelly beans. Overlooking the Life Saver and Starburst kinds, I stuck with good old Jelly Belly:
(Please note my lovely BlackBerry photography skills.)
You don’t have to worry about fat with Jelly Belly, but they do pack a ton of sugar. Regardless, the flavors are so good, I don’t care. I think it’s totally worth it.
PS - As Easter gets closer, I’ll be blogging about the other low-fat Easter candy I found…including chocolate!
