Substitute an artificial sweetener in place of sugar. Remove skin from all protein. Omit salt and instead shake things up with fresh herbs or other spices. Use whole-grain products in lieu of white products. Opt for applesauce in place of butter and oils in baked goods.

When it comes time to prepare meats and vegetables, steam them in fat-free chicken broth. This wonder food can also be used in place of cream in mashed potatoes. If you have a dessert that calls for chocolate, use three tablespoons of cocoa instead of one ounce of chocolate. Remember, a little effort goes a long way in trimming the fat this holiday season.
