Make sure you don't take a holiday from daily exercise. Continue your routine workouts in addition to extra activities, such as parking far from and walking to the mall, or power-walking while shopping. Revising recipes Almost any holiday dessert recipe can be revised to be healthier without sacrificing taste. Many sweet desserts are also high in fat, so replace fat with pureed fruit, such as applesauce or baby-food prunes, in recipes for chocolate brownies, cakes or cookies. You'll also find you don't need as much sugar, since fruit supplies sweet taste.
Sugar substitutes are another alternative for just about everyone, including diabetics.
