Prevent unwanted padding this season with the diet tips experts rely on to save their own waistlines
Cook up no-guilt comfort
When temps drop, cravings for food that's creamy, ooey-gooey cheesy, and stick-to–your-ribs (and your rear) delicious pick up like crazy. Get creative in the kitchen and typical fattening food can be yours. "Almost any winter comfort food can be made healthier by substituting in a lower-fat ingredient," says Eliot. "I'm really fixated on baked mac and cheese. Instead of using butter, I make the cream sauce out of whipped low-fat cottage cheese and the richness from that also lets me cut down on some of the cheese."Work low-fat cottage cheese into pasta casseroles, such as lasagna and stuffed shells. Eliot also pumps up protein and decreases the fat in some hearty dishes and desserts with non-fat Greek yogurt. Instead of sour cream, put a dollop of the Greek stuff over chili or mix some into mashed potatoes.
