Take a slice of pita bread, add pizza sauce and fresh vegetables, then sprinkle with shredded, low-fat cheese. Place the pizza in the oven until cheese melts and the pita is crispy. Because bread is typically low in fat, you can fill up on fewer calories from fat. Bring on the bagels-and keep it light. Try fat free cream cheese and a dollop of your favorite jam or jelly or toast it and add a whirl of honey.
Bagels are also good without a topping.
For a pretzel dip that won't stick to your hips, try blending plain, nonfat yogurt with a bit of mustard and your favorite chopped herbs.
