The truth of the matter is, it is hard to not gain weight over the Holiday season. There is food everywhere you turn and it’s usually filled with fat and sugar. What can we do? How about trim the calories, not just the tree.

DESSERTS:

• Supply a fruit platter or fresh fruit salad
• Leave behind the crust of desserts such as cheesecake and pie.
• Have some fun with a sweet fondue sauce or a yogurt dip with fresh fruit.
• Fruit mixed with yogurt and frozen is a delicious treat. Drizzle it with chocolate and no one will know it’s healthy!
• Sorbets are a light finish to any meal and can be used in Christmas drinks. Choose a recipe without much sugar in it.
• Instead of one egg, try using two egg whites
• Make a cake with pureed fruit in place of some oil ~ yummy!

Happy Holidays from all of us at Personal Training Institute!!!
