Dance of the Sugar Plump Fairy

Two ingredients to watch out for during the holiday season are oils and sugar because these contain the most fat and calories and will add unwanted pounds to your frame.

Rather than incorporating REAL sugar into your holiday treats, opt for slenderizing Splenda, which holds up exceptionally well under heat. There's no aftertaste, no calories and it's been proven safe by the FDA for both children and adults alike - but of course, check with your doctor before giving Splenda or any sugar substitute to children under your care!

This is an example of how many calories Splenda can save you this holiday season:

1 cup of sugar contains about 800 calories

1 cup of Splenda or Equal contains about 0 calories

The downside? It's on the expensive side. However, if it is keen in ridding unwanted pounds, that expense might be mighty cheap when it comes to redeeming health values!
