Cooking with sweetener

[cedar12]

Need to loose a few pounds, but I need something to eat in the evenings to stop me snacking I thought I could make rice pud with skimmed milk and sweetener. Which is the best sweetener to use and do you actually bake with it or stir it in afterwards? Any other ideas for sin free treats would be great to. Thanks

To stop you snacking, you need to eat a well balanced meal that contains plenty of fibre and some protein.

Not sure your idea of rice pudding will be v slimming unless you use brown rice. Refined carbohydrates are high in calories and not very satisfying, which is why you are trying to avoid the sugar, but did you know white rice is also a refined carb?

For a treat I suggest having rice cake with chocolate spread, jam or whatever you prefer. Rice cakes are v low cal and high in fibre.
