Hey everybody - can you help?  I really want to find some low calorie alternative recipes for my fav Xmas foods...like Christmas pudding with rum butter (oh the calories!) and gingerbread cookies...I can't get enough but they really do my diet in! 

Anybody have any tips for low cal recipes or things to substitute when I'm baking to keep the cal count down?

 Cheers!

Xmas is tough, isn't it?  I've some low fat or low cal recipes before, and they always leave me wanting more.  Now i just enjoy the good stuff and double up my workouts over the holidays!

I'm a big fan of epicurious for recipes, and i think some of the slimming mags have online recipe sections.

Try more natural fruit based recipes and go easy on the sugar and cream!
