Keep it light, man! Before heading to the kitchen, remind yourself that you can lighten up (and lose weight without trying) by merely cutting calories you won't even miss. Instead of full-fat mayonnaise, reach for fat-free. Instead of whole milk, get acquainted with some very tasty nonfat substitutes. For most full-fat dairies, dressings and dips in the marketplace, there are acceptable alternatives. You name it, they make it with a lower fat and calorie profile, and it tastes good.
Review your recipe file with a fresh eye. Rethink your kitchen experience -- from the way you cook it to the type of pans you use -- and apply these slimming solutions.

1. Nonstick: Stock up on nonstick pans for baking and grilling, breads and cookies, sauteing and even for soup. Nonstick is one of life's little pleasures because you don't need oil. Instead use a little cooking spray, wine, water or juice.
2. Method: Bake, broil, grill, poach or saute foods instead of deep-frying. Check out the "Better-Than-Fried Chicken" recipe below... It's awesome.
3. Reduce: Simply reduce the amount of fat and/or sugar in your recipes. For example, replace half the oil with applesauce or fruit puree for an equally moist muffin or cake; use one-third less sugar in cakes or cookies and use dried fruit, not sugar, to add sweetness to cereal. Experiment with sucralose (Splenda) for baking.
