I'm on a diet as many of you well know....I'm a FATTY, lol.
I am madly in love with cheesecake, but I stay away because I'd eat too much and it would be a disaster.
I love to cook, my question is this:
Do you have any low fat or fat free cheesecake recipes that YOU would reccomend. I thought of searching Google, but I thought it would be better to get an idea from someone who has tasted the recipe that they would recommend to me...
Go to the American Diabetes Association Web site you will find links for low fat low cal & sugar free recipes that, in most cases, are quite good. I have used many recipes found there and found them delicious.
Good luck with the diet and blessings upon you,
john

Please and thank you.
You're "right on" there! Here is a subject where it's definitely safe to here it from the "horses mouths."

Artificial sweeteners actually make you gain weight and are bad for your health so any you do find D0N'T substitute the sugar for the artifical sweeteners. Aspartame Truth Information Site
Try to use Xylitol or Stevia in the recipe instead, as they are NOT artificial sweeteners and they will not make you gain weight, they are sweet just like sugar and generally won't effect your blood sugar levels. We substitute Xylitol for sugar in almost everything (including homemade whipping cream, yum!) and I can't tell a difference. Hope this helps!
I've found Stevia at Trader Joes or any place that offers Health Food, same with Xylitol. Xylitol (where my mom gets it) comes in bags kinda like Sugar, but they're usually plastic.
I make one that is very simple. Just mix 1 tub of fat free cool whip with one package of low fat or fat free cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar. Put it in a graham cracker crust or just eat it with a spoon. It's a little different but it satisfy's the cravings!
