If you want to lose weight, toppings are not a good food option for a healthy weight loss diet, as they have a high calorie-content and a high GI value. In general, calorie-controlled diets recommend a low intake of toppings and/or syrups. In addition to energy content, dietary nutrition is also important, as a nutritious diet helps the body to burn calories faster and maintains a healthy metabolic rate. So as well as calorie-counting, check food labels for nutritional value. Nutritional and energy values provided on most of the above food pages include: vitamins, minerals, folate and dietary fiber, as well as protein and carbs. Understanding diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Toppings/Syrups
Calorie savings tip: If you want to reduce your calorie intake because you are on a weight loss diet plan, the best way is to check food labels and choose toppings with less fat/sugar. Also, remember that all physical exercise workouts help to increase energy-expenditure and thus allows you to eat higher-calorie types of topping with less risk of weight gain.
