20 Fat-Burning Secrets of The Grill

#20: Grill your dessert

The high heat of the grill does magical things to fruit, softening its flesh, concentrating its natural sweetness, and transforming it into something that feels like dessert on its own. And if you trick it out with a scoop of ice cream and a few toppings, you have a low-calorie, world-class sundae on your hands. A grilled treat we love? Banana splits: Take unpeeled bananas, cut them in half, and grill them for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the peels, and top the bananas with a scoop of ice cream, some nuts, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Mmmm.
