- Order salad dressings and other sauces by the side. You have to
control over how much or how little you add.
- While ordering grilled fish or vegetables, ask that the food either
be grilled without butter or oil, or prepared "light," with
little oil.
- For pasta dishes, look for tomato-based sauces rather than
cream-based sauces. Tomato-based sauces are much lower in fat and
calories. In addition, the tomato sauce (or marinara sauce) can be count
as vegetable.
- Drink water, diet soda, or unsweetened tea or coffee instead of soda
or alcoholic beverages.
- This will let you control lot of calories each
day.
- When choosing a soup, keep in mind that cream-based soups are higher
in fat and calories than most other soups. Soup can serve as a great
appetizer to a meal. Most soups are low in calories and will fill you
up, so try to eat less.
- Order steamed vegetables as a side dish instead of starch.
- Order sandwiches with mustard rather than mayonnaise or "special
sauce." Mustard adds flavor with virtually no calories.
- Don't be afraid of asking for special low-calorie or low-fat
preparation.
- Plain bread or yeast rolls are relatively low in fat and calories
content. It's the butter and oil you add that increases the fat and
calories.
- Enjoy foods that are flavored with fresh herbs rather than fats such
as oil and butter. Herbs add a unique flavor to any dish!

Fresh gingerbread with lemon icing
For the gingerbread:
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
2 large eggs, beaten to mix
1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour
roasting pan, approximately 12 x 8 x 2 inches, greased and lined with foil
or parchment paper
For the icing:
1 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon warm water
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses,
ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in
its water.
Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients,
beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it
into the pan and bake for 3/4 - 1 hour until risen and firm. Be careful not
to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry
on cooking as it cools.
And when it is cool, get on with the icing. Whisk the lemon juice into the
confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good,
thick icing, so go cautiously and be prepared not to add all the water.
Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set
before cutting.
