Nobody wants to eat diet food that looks and tastes like diet food. Especially during the holidays, we are drawn to heavy delicious meals that are not always calorie friendly. However, there are many ways we can trick our taste buds and enjoy low calorie foods that are high in flavor.
According to Sandra Angelella, Whitsons Culinary Group Dietitian, the key to enjoying a healthy holiday feast is just tweaking our favorite recipes and replacing some ingredients with healthier ones, ?Special meals and exchanging gifts are often a part of a family?s traditional holiday celebration. Why not start a new tradition this year? Make some small changes to your favorite recipes and give the gift of better health that will last all year.?
Sometimes a simple change of ingredients can make a positive and healthier difference. For instance, replacing cream cheese with low-fat cottage cheese in the all-time favorite appetizer Cucumber Cups with Salmon Whip Cream reduces calories significantly, yet it maintains the overall savory flavor of the dish. Another idea for a low-fat treat is baked potato chips served with a dollop of fat-free sour cream and topped with any type of caviar or fish roe.
Another way to reduce the calorie and fat content of a dish is to slightly alter the preparation. You can avoid deep frying some foods by saut

Americans aren?t just asking, ?What?s for dinner?? anymore. They also want to know where their food comes from and how it is produced. In a world where things to eat are abundant but not always healthful, people have many questions about healthy eating – what they?re eating, why they?re eating it and how they can eat closer to their ideal.
The new website Culinate (http://www.culinate.com) tackles these concerns and more.
Launched in January 2007, Culinate addresses the multitude of intersections between food and the rest of our lives. We make decisions about food every day: what to eat, where to buy it, how to prepare it. But there?s much more to what people eat than simple daily sustenance or good health.
Food is fundamental. We make decisions about it constantly: what to eat, where to buy it, how to prepare it. What does it mean to put fork to plate? How should we feed ourselves and our children? Culinate is a place for those who care, or want to care, about these questions. healthy eating isn?t only about feeding your body but also about feeding your mind.
?So while Culinate features recipes, articles and books about cooking, we don?t limit ourselves to the kitchen,? said editorial director Kim Carlson. ?We feature articles and essays that address the multitude of intersections between food and the rest of our lives. We?re interested in how people define their lives via what they eat ? ‘Should I buy organic? Be a vegetarian? Shun sugar?’ ? as well as food defines us as people. Culinate is a place that connects food to the wider world and brings it home.?
Culinate?s authors and cooks explore questions about topics such as sustainability, community, healthy eating and the environment. Website essayists chew on what the things they eat mean to them, while columnists offer sometimes humorous takes on living and eating, and interviewees explain current issues in food.
Culinate?s content is always straightforward and thoughtful, and Culinate?s focus is steady: greater understanding of the many roles food plays in our lives. With the mission to help you ?Eat to Your Ideal,? Culinate centers itself at the intersection of good living and smart, healthier choices.

Harvard Health Publications, in conjunction with nutrition experts at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), have unveiled the Healthy Eating Plate, a visual guide that provides a blueprint for eating a healthy meal. Like the U.S. government?s MyPlate, the Healthy Eating Plate is simple and easy to understand?and it addresses important deficiencies in the MyPlate icon.
?Unfortunately, like the earlier U.S. Department of Agriculture Pyramids, MyPlate mixes science with the influence of powerful agricultural interests, which is not the recipe for healthy eating,? said Walter Willett, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and chair of the Department of Nutrition at HSPH. ?The Healthy Eating Plate is based on the best available scientific evidence and provides consumers with the information they need to make choices that can profoundly affect our health and well being.?
View the Healthy Eating Plate.
Comparing the Harvard healthy eating Plate to the USDA?s MyPlate shows the shortcomings in the government?s guide. MyPlate does not tell consumers that whole grains are better for health than refined grains; its protein section offers no indication that some high-protein foods?fish, poultry, beans, nuts?are healthier than red meats and processed meats; it is silent on beneficial fats; it does not distinguish between potatoes and other vegetables; it recommends dairy at every meal, even though there is little evidence that high dairy intake protects against osteoporosis but substantial evidence that high intake can be harmful; and it says nothing about sugary drinks. Finally, the Healthy Eating Plate reminds people to stay active, an important factor in weight control, while MyPlate does not mention the importance of activity.
The Healthy Eating Plate is based on the latest and best scientific evidence which shows that a plant-based diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins lowers the risk of weight gain and chronic disease. Helping Americans get the best possible nutrition advice is of critical importance as the U.S. and the world faces a burgeoning obesity epidemic. Currently, two in three adults and one in three children are overweight or obese in the U.S.
?We want people to use this as a model for their own healthy plate or that of their children every time they sit down to a meal?either at home or at a restaurant,? said Eric Rimm, Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at HSPH and a member of the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.
The sections of the Healthy Eating Plate include:
