An example (not from me) is that one might use a little half-and-half or a lot of 1% milk for about the same amount of calories, but a much more satisfying taste. (Assuming you like it better.) I think there’s a fair amount of evidence out there that fats are not the enemy - carbs are the real issue. (If you read InterestedDad’s posts on the huge diet and exercise thread - he has links to lots of studies about diet and exercise. He’s lost 75+ pounds and kept them off, improved all his bloodwork numbers while keeping a lot of fat in his diet.)

Unfortunately a lot of holiday treats are carb bombs.
