enjoy

piece
of
fudge?

|
There
is
a
reason

Fondue
|
Cheesy
fondue
equals
cheesy
calories.
We
recommend
that
dieters
lay
off
the
fondue
until
after
diet
time.
- The
Diet
Rescue:
To
crush
that
cheese
craving,
enjoy
the
real
thing
-
about
an
ounce
thinly
sliced
with
some
fresh
fruit.

French
Toast
|
French
Toast
also
varies
greatly
in
calories
but
typically
is
about
200
calories
per
slice.
- The
Diet
Rescue:
We
recommend
that
you
make
your
own
at
home
using
a
mix
of
1
egg,
1
Tablespoon
of
milk
and
a
dash
of
salt.
Dip
60-calorie
bread
into
egg
mixture,
then
'fry'
in
butter
flavored
non-stick
cooking
spray.
Remove
and
sprinkle
with
confectioners
sugar
and
a
bit
of
ground
cinnamon
if
desired.
Each
slice
contains
about
85
calories
and
is
delicious
when
topped
with
fresh
strawberries
and
a
bit
of
light
whipped
topping.
Good
morning
sunshine!
