• Remove fat from soups and stews by chilling first, then skimming hardened fat off the top.

• Learn to steam and stir-fry vegetables. For flavor, add herbs, onions, broth and citrus juice instead of salt.

• Sprinkle salads with lemon or lime juice or flavored vinegars instead of oil-based dressings.

• Find your hidden calories. Tasting the baby’s food or taste-testing as you cook, these add up.

• Drink eight glasses of fluids each day. Try a twist of lemon in iced water or iced herbal teas for variety.

• Offer a variety of desserts to your holiday guests. Serve the traditional fruitcake and cookies for those people who are not watching their calories, but serve fresh fruit as an alternative for those who are.

Celebrating with good food doesn’t need to mean misery and excess pounds or danger to one’s health. Take control and make sensible choices during the holidays, and the New Year will find you healthy and happy.
