Instructions: * Choose low-fat or non-fat versions of dairy products.

* Substitute unsweetened applesauce for half or all the fat in baked goods. (Works amazing on oatmeal cookies and blueberry muffins)

* Saute onions, garlic or chopped vegetables in water, chicken broth, apple juice, flavored vinegar or wine instead of butter, margarine or oil.

* Substitute whole-wheat flour for up to 1/2 all-purpose flour. Foods will be slightly heavier, darker and heartier.

* Decrease or eliminate salt from recipes except for yeast breads.

* Use egg whites or purchased cholesterol-free egg product instead of whole eggs. (Use 2 egg whites instead of 1 whole egg; 3 egg whites for 2 whole eggs; 6 egg whites for 4 whole eggs)

* Gradually decrease the amount of sugar by 1 tbsp. each time you bake a recipe. Stop when you get to the point where it affects the taste. (In almost all my recipes, Ive been able to reduce 1 cup of sugar to 2/3 cup or 3/4 cup with no effect on taste)
